Tony was on the scriptnotes podcast a week or two ago saying that yes, the original plan was a season for each of the five years of Cassian’s life leading up to Rogue One.

But after making the first season, he realized he’d never finish at that scale, not just because of his own bandwidth or his collaborators (his brother, as well as Beau Willimon), but also because of how much time getting each season made would take. So many shows at that scale aren’t hitting a one-per-year pace.

So yeah, Tony didn’t want the next decade of his life wrapped up in this project. Who can blame him?
