With two weeks to go before 'Andor' hits Disney+, there have been steady developments pouring about the much-awaited 'Star Wars' show. While the latest nine-minute preview on the streamer gave a glimpse of Stellan Skarsgard's character, Luthen. there has also been some buzz about the baddies in the 'Rogue One' prequel.

One of them is Kyle Soller's, Syril Karn. The 'Marrowbone' star will play a local enforcer on the show but has a hard time dealing with where his allegiances lie. In their own quest for power and the answers they seek, their transformations form the crux of the story. It isn't novel in 'Star Wars' lore with Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader being the more classic example.

Per a Polygon preview on 'Andor', Soller shared his two cents on Syril. “Having a character who wasn’t really sure about himself was what kind of made him the most fun to play,” he said of Syril. “He could kind of go either way — he could go into the Empire, he could go into the Rebel Alliance. He’s got a lot of gray area. And he came from a place of such lack, and such pain in his home life. He’s trying to fill this void within himself through the fascist corporate bureaucratic structure where he finds order and he finds a place to be seen if he can supersede his station.”

The official synopsis for the much-awaited prequel reads, "The Andor series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It’s an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero."

'Andor' releases three episodes on September 21 on Disney+. Fans can watch the nine-minute movie on the app.
