Who Should Appear As A Special Guest?
The re-watch event begs the question ofwhich guests will appear in the discussions. Luna would be an obvious, yet still exciting, choice. Stellan Skarsgård would also be interesting, ashisAndorcharacterLuthen quickly became a fan-favorite.Star Warsveteran Andy Serkis (Kino Loy), who could talk about his experience acting in several projects, could be an insightful addition to the re-watch event. There are many talented onscreen artists to choose from, but getting the perspectives of directors, writers, and other crew who worked onAndorseason 1 would also be a pleasant surprise.
