There is only one way out for Cassian Andor, and it's headfirst into the Death Star. Andor, the acclaimed prequel series to 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is nearing the end of its second season.

Tony Gilroy has explained why Darth Vader won't appear in Andor season 2 – and it's a pretty understandable reason. "No, that was never on my agenda," Gilroy told Rolling Stone, when asked if he'd considered including the Sith Lord. "Writing for Darth Vader is really limiting. I've done it. He doesn’t have a lot to say."

If you’ve been holding out hope for Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine to appear in Andor Season 2, it’s time to let that dream go. Series creator Tony Gilroy recently sat down with Rolling Stone and made it clear that neither Sith Lord is showing up.
