The Galaxy Times: Media for Andor

I wonder if "Fight in the Fields" is a reference to Winston Churchill's famous 1940 post-Dunkirk evac speech, where he said: “We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!” (source)

Or maybe it's just a coincidence and "Fight in the Fields" is just decriptive of the scene below...

How heavily (or lightly) will Alan Tudyk’s K-2SO be featured in Andor Season 2? –Craig

Spoiler

The Imperial security droid makes a memorable entrance during the third 3-episode batch, has a memorable first line, and before long is being his snarky, Rogue One self. Bonus scoop: When I recently spoke to Varada Sethu (about Doctor Who), she shared that her favorite Andor Season 2 episode, as Cinta, is in the second batch of three, saying, “There’s a lot of action, and I got to do a very, very, very cool stunt I can’t wait for people to see!”

Andor creator explains recasting major Star Wars character with Benjamin Bratt

However, when Bail showed up for this brief Andor scene conversing with Mon and Perrin, it was not Jimmy Smits playing the rebellion hero, but a new (yet recognizable) face — Benjamin Bratt. The recasting was certainly surprising, especially considering Smits played the role in the film on which the prequel series Andor is based, Rogue One. So why wasn’t Smits once again portraying the savvy senator? According to creator Tony Gilroy, it was simply a matter of logistics.

“We couldn't work it out,” Gilroy tells Entertainment Weekly. “The scheduling didn’t work out. We really tried hard, but he wasn't available and couldn't make it.”

This is one of the problems that can crop up when you try to use previously established characters in sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. “Bringing back legacy characters is really complicated,” Gilroy notes. “It's very expensive. It's very, who's working when. A lot of effort went into it, but we just couldn't work it out scheduling wise.”

Once they could not land Smits back, team Andor had to move on to plan B — a plan that was hatched by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Kathy had the idea for Benjamin,” Gilroy reveals. “It was just a brilliant idea. He’s a wonderful human being and really eager and beloved on set and really happy about what he does.”
