Ben Mendelsohn Loved Reprising His ‘Rogue One’ Villain on ‘Andor’: ‘It’s Taken Me By Joyous Surprise’
"Andor" star Ben Mendelsohn discusses reprising his "Rogue One" role Orson Krennic.
(Krennic’s stated reason is that the mineral is needed to develop a renewable power source, but thanks to “Rogue One,” we know his real job is managing the creation of the Empire’s top secret ultra-weapon, the Death Star.) Krennic doesn’t appear again until Episode 6, when he encounters Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and the secret mastermind of the Rebellion, Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), while touring a private antiquities gallery during a lavish party. In both episodes, Krennic asserts his authority with ease and charm — a sharp contrast from “Rogue One,” in which he’s repeatedly undermined by Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader, and is ultimately vaporized by a blast from the Death Star.
