In season two of episode three in AndorA shocking scene appeared: an imperial officer tried to force himself on Bix Caleen, played by Adria Arjona.
The scene is far from what is generally a family Star Wars universe.
Despite a few backlash, Tony Gilroy, the creator of the series, held his field, explaining in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that in war situations, rape is not uncommon.
“I receive a blow to say everything I know – or that I can discover, or that I have learned – on the Revolution, on battles, with as many incidents and as many colors as I can enter it, without having [the story] to switch, ”he added.
The creator continued: “I mean, let’s be honest, guy: the history of civilization, there is a huge arterial component of it which is rape. We all who are here – we are all the product of rape. I mean armies and power through history [have committed rape]. “”
“So, so as not to touch it, in one way or another … It was just organic and it was good, occurring like a power trip for this guy. I was really trying to make a way for Bix which would finally lead to clarity – but a difficult path to return to clarity,” concluded Tony.
Andor The season two first episodes is broadcast on Disney +.
