The second arc of “Andor” introduces a recast of Senator Bail Organa, originally portrayed by Jimmy Smits. Organa, a key figure in “Star Wars,” first appeared in 1977 but was fleshed out in “Attack of the Clones” (2002) and returned in “Revenge of the Sith” and “Rogue One.” In “Andor” season 2, Benjamin Bratt takes on the role, initially causing disorientation for fans. However, his performance effectively captures Organa’s essence, integrating seamlessly into the narrative. The change allows for continued storytelling without sidelining the character, maintaining the high quality of the series on Disney+.
