Writing for Darth Vader is really limiting. But are we all going to just nod our heads and agree that Darth Vader is somehow too “limiting” for Andor? Krennic is also a supporting character in Andor Season 2, as is Bail Organa. To put it another way, whenever the Emperor is mentioned in Andor, we think of Darth Vader, and that’s because Darth Vader was a crucial part of the Emperor’s rise to power. Plus, imagining what folks like Dedra or Syril think of Darth Vader would have been fascinating through the Andor lens.
