‘Andor’: Tony Gilroy Says Darth Vader Isn’t In Season 2 Because “Writing” For The Sith Lord Is “Limiting”



While it was announced at Star Wars Celebration in Japan that Hayden Christensen would be reprising the Anakin Skywalker role for the second season of “Ahsoka,” we won’t be seeing Darth Vader returning for “Andor,” and we have a better idea of why creator/showrunner Tony Gilroy (“Rogue One”) chose to do that.
During a chat with Rolling Stone Magazine, Gilroy mentions already having tackled the popular antagonist and not really seeing a lot of motivation to keep using him.
