Revealing to Empire Magazine that the final three episodes will cover the last three days before the events of Rogue One, Tony Gilroy reveals that not only are they over halfway through filming on the second and final season, but also that they’re not holding back or pulling their punches.
“The risks this season will take are very different,” promises Luna. In what way? “In every way,” says Gilroy. “Look, man, I’m not trying to make a career here; if anything I’m on the downhill side of a long career. But this is an opportunity. This is 1,500 pages of the most dynamic material in these people’s lives to deal with. We got it right the first time, and you don’t want to let your foot off the gas.”
Gilroy expanded on what the crux of the second season is about.
“Some of its core ingredients are secrecy and paranoia and lack of trust and betrayal. So, how difficult is it to build a revolution, and what happens to the original gangsters, as other people get involved?”
