Rogue One's impact on the Star Wars franchise is felt nearly a decade later, particularly through its nostalgic use of deepfake technology to revive original trilogy characters like Princess Leia. While new Lucasfilm productions dive deeper into the Empire's era, they ignore recasting Leia, leading to a narrative emptiness as she becomes an off-screen character. Andor Season 2 aims to explore Cassian Andor's rise within the Rebellion while grappling with the implications of Leia's significant but missing role in this critical timeline, along with other legacy characters.
Rogue One expanded the Star Wars galaxy but is now remembered for its use of deepfake technology to resurrect characters, affecting the saga's current direction.
While Leia has appeared in recent projects, she remains largely off-screen, as newer series focus on original characters rather than legacy ones.
Andor Season 2 will confront Leia's absence, exploring Cassian Andor's rise in the Galactic Rebellion while intertwining the political landscape of the Empire.
Lucasfilm's reluctance to recast Leia creates a narrative gap, highlighting a disinterest in continuing the legacy characters' stories during the Empire's reign.
