Lucasfilm\u2019s Emmy\u00ae-nominated thriller \u201cAndor,\u201d returns for its long-awaited conclusion on April 22. The second season takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to \u201cRogue One: A Star Wars Story,\u201d which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire\u2019s weapon of mass destruction\u2014The Death Star\u2014setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. \u201cAndor\u201d sets the clock back five years from the events of \u201cRogue One\u201d to tell the story of the film\u2019s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.

Guest Bio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yan Miles is an award-winning editor with years of experience on prestigious projects, and a member of the American Cinema Editors guild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yan was recognized with two Emmys for editing some of the iconic TV moments, episode 403 of The Crown<\/em> titled Fairytale<\/em> and season 3 finale of Sherlock<\/em> titled His Last Vow<\/em>, which also earned him an ACE Eddie Award and a BAFTA TV Craft Award. His win on The Crown<\/em> was also the culmination of his work on the show throughout the first four seasons and an effect of his longtime collaboration with the director Benjamin Caron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Yan edited three episodes of Lucasfilm\u2019s Andor<\/em>, including Messenger, Who Are You?<\/em> and Welcome to the Rebellion<\/em>. In 2020 he edited Netflix\u2019s series White Lies<\/em> with the showrunner \u00c1lex Pina, and in 2018 he worked on Mike Bartlett\u2019s BBC miniseries Press<\/em>. Since his first credit as an editor on the miniseries The Prisoner<\/em>, Yan quickly established himself as a prominent drama editor with credits on fan-favorite Game of Thrones<\/em> and critically acclaimed British shows Primeval<\/em>, Endeavour<\/em>, and Fortitude<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His recent work on Sharpe<\/em>r is an excellent example of how Yan prioritizes characters and their unique stories while editing feature films. He is also committed to storytelling across genres and formats, which shows in his previous film credits – the comedy short film It’s a Goat’s Life<\/em>, music horror Rock and Roll Fuck’n’Lovely<\/em>, and short drama Daughter<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
