Ben Mendelsohn’s only return request while Krennic has improved the villain of Rogue One

The return of Orson Krennic in Andor Season 2 was under one condition for star Ben Mendelsohn, and it made the show and the character Snape One appearance even better. For the most part, Andor The casting of season 2 contains the same main actors who appeared in season 1. as was teased for the first time in the trailers of the second episode, however, several Snape One The characters had to appear, given what extent Andor The chronology of season 2 feeds the film 2016.

One of these characters was director Orson Krennic who was an integral part of events like AndorThe Ghorman massacre because of its dedication to finalizing the construction of the Death Star. While Krennic did not play a dominating role in Andor Season 2, He certainly stole most of the scenes in which he wasThank you to the excellent performance of Ben Mendelsohn. As Andor The end of season 2 finished the show, Krennic’s apparitions only improved it and strengthened its role in Snape Oneall due to a condition that Mendelsohn had when returning to the Star Wars galaxy.

Ben Mendelsohn would only come back if Star Wars “inflated the volume”

Mendelsohn wanted to chew

Mendelsohn confirmed this condition that he had on Late at night with Seth Meyers. The actor was asked if it was excited to receive the call to come back AndorTo which Mendsohn replied that it was certainly. However, Mendelsohn also stressed that he had applied for “Pump the volume” with the character Andor Scenes after Snape Onemore moderate appearance.

Given that Andor offers much more screen to its support characters than a film with a tight execution time like Snape OneThis request certainly makes sense. Not only that, but the request was easily granted by the showrunner Tony Gilroy. Although Krennic only appears in a few selected episodes Andor Season 2, It is undeniable that Mendelsohn’s performance is much larger and more dominating than in Snape OneProvising that the volume was indeed pumped.

Why Krennic is so much bigger in Andor

Krennic’s circumstances are very different between the two stories

The volume that is mounted for Mendelsohn naturally gives the public a much more captivating villain which is greater than life AndorBut it also improves its character Snape One simultaneously. The reason is the expert in mixing between Andor And Snape Onehow their stories intersect, but also how they are slightly different despite their place Star Wars’ vast chronology. In AndorFor example, Krennic has a much more arrogant presence, partly because of Mendelsohn’s state for the return, and partly because of the role of the character in history.

In AndorKrennic is not the director of the environment in which he was Snape One. Krennic sits almost at the top of the ISB’s order of picatricity, responding only to a few other imperial officials who do not play a role in the series. Consequently, Mendsohn could act much more intimidating because Krennic is constantly dealing with the subordinates that he considers under him. Krennic likes to grant his power over these people, which is exactly what we see Andor Season 2.

On the other hand, Snape One Krennic shows as an underestimation itself. This film makes him treat with the aforementioned few people who hold power over him, whether it is Grand Moff Tarkin or even Dark Vader. As a result, Krennic is much more moderate and lower Snape One That he is in Andor Season 2 but for perfect reasons of history, which means that its appearance in the second only improves that of the first.

And we made us hate Orson Krennic so much more

By showing us another side of him

Thanks to Andor Season 2, Krennic has become a character that the public loves to hate, even more than it was Snape One. Due to the aforementioned manner, Krennic was presented Snape OneThe character was almost humorous in the way he was humiliated, used and pushed by those above him. Andor But we have shown a different side of this.

In Andor Season 2, the most threatening side of Krennic comes out. He is no longer dealing with people like Vader or Tarkin, so Krennic can press his worst aspects on others, like Dedra Meero. This, combined with their lack of empathy for the Ghorman people to orchestrate their quasi-extinction, made Krennic a much more hated character than the somewhat laughing stock in which he was Snape One. Thank you to this evolution in Andor Season 2, its appearance in Snape One is recontextualized and does all the better.
