READ MORE: Tony Gilroy Says The Final 3 Episodes Of \u2018Andor\u2019 Season 2 Take Place 5 Days Before \u2018Rogue One\u2019 Starts<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI lived through all of the Snoke theories [on the Sequel Trilogy] and just thought, \u2018Oh no, this isn\u2019t going to be good. What can of worms is this going to open up?\u201d Serkis shared. \u201cAnd so I did consider, \u2018Is this a good idea?\u2019 Because it\u2019s just going to confuse the hell out of people but, I was such a big fan of \u2018Rogue One\u2019 and when Tony Gilroy first talked to me about it, he was very compelling and he didn\u2019t have to convince me because he\u2019s such a great storyteller, great filmmaker, and brilliant writer, and producer and showrunner.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he really got me with when he was explaining the arc of this character and obviously where he ends up in this series,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo, it really spoke to me because the \u2018Andor\u2019 series, like \u2018Rogue One,\u2019 feels very grounded. In a sense, it\u2019s the grey area of \u2018Star Wars,\u2019 and we are used to much more black and white, sort of dark and light choices. And so, this is a very murky end of the swimming pool to be in with Andor. And Cassian\u2019s journey mixing with all of this political intrigue and seeing characters really going through it. The psychological depth of every single role and the amazing cast that it\u2019s attracted to. And so, for all of those reasons, it seemed like a good idea, and I could hopefully assuage the rumor mill and not get people too confused.\u201d<\/p>\n
And simply to make his level clear to the entire fanboys saying Snoke and Kino are one and the identical, Serkis put the ultimate nail within the coffin.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, [Kino] is definitely not related in any way, shape, or form to Snoke. Let\u2019s just get that clear,\u201d the actor defined.<\/p>\n
So, is that the tip of Kino Loy? Serkis has his theories, however he\u2019s supposedly as at the hours of darkness as anybody else.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, he escapes! And he meets up in Season 2 with Cassian!\u201d Serkis joked. \u201cNo, I have no idea\u2026I\u2019ve had enough screen deaths in my time to know that . I made it through this one, sort of, kind of. And there aren\u2019t that many prison guards on Narkina 5 because they didn\u2019t need them \u2013 it\u2019s all electrified, so I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
