I thought about it at one point, but it was too heavy a task,&#8221; Gilroy commented, suggesting that including Palpatine would complicate the story in a way that would not be beneficial for the development of Andor.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Andor: Temporada 2 | Estreno 23 de abril | Nuevo tr\u00e1iler en espa\u00f1ol | Disney+\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6kbr0dcmvF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second season of Andor, which is nearing its end, <strong>will culminate with the release of its last three episodes on Disney+ on May 14<\/strong>.
