The Nerdist article discusses the possibility of Princess Leia appearing in the Disney+ series Andor.
Key points from the article:
- Timeline Alignment: Andor Season 1 is set in 5 BBY, the same year as the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, where a 10-year-old Leia played a significant role in the early days of the Rebellion.
- Bail Organa's Presence: Leia's adoptive father, Bail Organa (played by Jimmy Smits), is confirmed to appear in Andor. Since Leia often worked closely with her father in rebellious activities, his presence makes her appearance plausible.
- Leia's Established Role: By this point in the Star Wars timeline, Leia is already involved in the burgeoning Rebel Alliance, undertaking missions for her father and Alderaan.
- No Official Confirmation: Despite the logical connections, the article states there has been no official confirmation, strong rumor, or leak suggesting Leia will appear in Andor's first season.
- Focus of The show aims to be a gritty spy thriller focused on Cassian Andor and the ground-level formation of the Rebellion. Introducing a major legacy character like Leia could shift this focus.
- Future Possibility: While unlikely for Season 1, the article doesn't rule out a potential appearance in future seasons, especially as Andor will lead directly into the events of Rogue One, where Leia plays a crucial culminating role.
