"Reckoning" is the third episode of the American streaming television series Andor, based on Star Wars created by George Lucas.
Haynes was hired in September 2020 after a production delay due the COVID-19 pandemic, and Gilroy joined the series as showrunner in early 2019, replacing Stephen Schiff.
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced in February 2018 that there were several Star Wars series in development,[1] and that November one was revealed as a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016).
The series was described as a spy thriller show focused on the character Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna reprising his role from the film.
[3] Tony Gilroy, who was credited as a co-writer on Rogue One and oversaw extensive reshoots for the film,[4] joined the series by early 2019 when he discussed the first story details with Luna.
Further describing it as a "contained piece", he had also commented "at some point, I [Gilroy] must have come up with the cutting pattern, and then the interesting thing became how to really tell the young Cassian story, how to stretch that out, and how to get the most out of it".
[13][14][15] The episode depicts Maarva and her husband, Clem, scavenging for parts of a crashed spaceship on Kenari, and later finding and subsequently adopting Andor.
[18] The episode stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor,[2][19] Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Joplin Sibtain as Brasso, James McArdle as Timm Karlo, and Rupert Vansittart as Chief Hyne.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Bringing its inciting arc to a satisfying close, Andor starts taking shape as Diego Luna's rebel without a cause discovers a grander purpose.
