News of Oscar-winning icon Forest Whitaker reportedly being in line for another live-action stab at the all-round Partisan badass that is Saw Gerrera in this year's Andor will be music to most Star Wars fans' ears in the wake of his other depressingly fleeting showings in the role to date.

After being very much present in much of the marketing material in the lead-up to the release of Rogue One, Whitaker's actual involvement in the Original Trilogy prequel flick boiled down to little more than a few flickers of madness before being blasted to oblivion on Jedha.

Admittedly, Whitaker's showings in the likes of the Jedi: Fallen Order video game and Rebels animated series as the controversial resistance leader helped salvage his otherwise underwhelming first appearance as Gerrera back in 2016. But the record still shows that he's been largely under-utilised on the live-action Star Wars stage thus far, with many hoping that his rumoured Andor appearance will finally give the acting titan some meaty material to get stuck into during these early days of the Rebellion.
