Fiona Shaw talks Maarva in new Star Wars video. Andor
The eighth episode of Andor was released yesterday and featured the return of a fan-favorite Star Wars sequel trilogy star in a new role as well as the return of Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera. The episode also provided an update on Maarva Andor , Cassian Andor's adopted mother. After Cassian was forced to flee Ferrix, she insisted on staying behind and continuing the Rebel fight at home.
"Fiona Shaw discusses her character Maarva the importance of community in #Andor. Andor is now streaming on @DisneyPlus," Star Wars shared on Instagram."I would begin to say that Maarva is part of a planet that you get a feeling is a bit like an old industrial town, but it's very practical. The people there work very hard, but they are full of community, and I think the value of community becomes more and more important as the series goes on," Shaw explains.
"Tony has written a great, scurrilous [take] on the Trumpian world," the actor recalled."Our world is exploding in different places right now, people's rights are disappearing, and Andor reflects that. [In the show] the Empire is taking over, and it feels like the same thing is happening in reality, too." She continued,"I was impressed by Tony's social-realist intentions ... He's created a whole new morality.
