Andy Serkis’ Two Different Characters InStar WarsFranchise
Andy Serkis is quite clear about his appearance as Kino Loy inAndor. Captivating his audience with a role that sets him apart from his other performances, Serkis discussed his journey from Snoke to Loy. Releasing the specialty of the show, the actor spoke about his relationship with theStar Warsfranchise. Beginning with his concerns about the connections that fans might attempt to make between his two characters, Serkis clarified the doubt.
“Actually, when I was approached, I was quite trepidacious because I was thinking, there were so many Snoke theories over the years that I’d had to duck and dive and avoid, and then I just thought, ‘Oh no, this is gonna be a nightmare because people are gonna think Kino Loy is somehow associated with Snoke, and I’m gonna have to talk around the houses”. Andy Serkis stated.
Distinctly differentiating the two characters played by him, Serkis mentioned, despite his explanation if fans still come up with Snoke and Kino’s theories, they might get tucked away with the rest of Snoke theories.
“With every single character in Andor, there is such depth and humanity, and they are flawed, and the way that Cassian weaves his way through this incredible heroic journey through kind of experiencing all of these extraordinary characters,”Serkis stated.
Carefully explainingTony Gilroy‘s description of his character and the arc, Serkis praised Gilroy’s construction of characters in the series.
