When you finish watching season two of Andor, the natural next move is to dive right into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the movie that introduced Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor to the galaxy far, far away. But he’s not actually the lead character in the 2016 film—that distinction goes to Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso, daughter of reluctant Death Star architect Galen Erso. And while Andor leads right into Rogue One, and the two stories share many of the same characters, Andor creator Tony Gilroy made the

Andor is over—but its impact will linger on as one of Star Wars‘ proudest accomplishments. The Disney+ show won over fans and critics not just with its thrilling story and performances, but by pushing the boundaries of what the sci-fi franchise had ever attempted before. For that you can thank its creator, Tony Gilroy—who in turn has one person he’d like to thank: Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. In fact, as Gilroy revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair, he almost walked away from An

The final season of Andor will lead directly to Rogue One, and that’s had people talking about possible cameos to tie them together. If you’ve been hoping to see either Darth Vader or Palpatine in this show, you should look elsewhere. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, creator Tony Gilroy was asked about why neither of the two villains pop up in the show. Stories set during the Original Trilogy typically get them involved: Vader famously appeared in Rogue One—which Gilroy co-wrote—and Sheev’s

In an interview with Variety, writer Beau Willimon discussed the fan-favorite properties he’s currently a part of: he’s an executive producer on Apple TV+’s Severance and wrote episodes for both seasons of Andor. In the chat with the trade he likened writing on Star Wars to “being a session musician on someone’s album.” His collaboration with Andor creator Tony Gilroy began on the Willimon-created Netflix series House of Cards, with Gilroy coming aboard as a consulting producer. “When he was d

As Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) ascends to a leadership role within the rebellion in Andor season two, he sets his course for that fateful date with destiny in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But where does that leave the impressive ensemble of other characters introduced in the series—you know, if they make it out of this final season alive? In a sit down with io9, we asked show creator Tony Gilroy his thoughts on moving on from Andor after making a series of cinematic chapters that set the table

For as long has he has been bringing Andor to life, Tony Gilroy has championed the series as one that opens the gateway for Star Wars to explore various genres it rarely touches on in TV and film. And now, according to the man himself, the franchise might actually be doing that. Speaking to Business Insider at a recent Andor event in London ahead of the second season’s premiere later this month, Gilroy said responded to a question about a comment he’d previously floated about Star Wars series h

In an interview with Empire Magazine ahead of the premiere of Andor season two, showrunner Tony Gilroy discussed why he believes a show like theirs “will never happen again.” Thanks to The Mandalorian‘s success, there was a shift with Lucasfilm to go all in on a risk with long-form story telling, as well as being the push that allowed the Star Wars canon to open up in ways that aren’t as feasible in this current era of television. “No one’s ever gonna start a show on this scale again, and shoot

Even before its first season was over, Andor was considered one of the best Star Wars projects in a while, and added some variety with its political and spy thriller focus, and by just taking itself seriously. With the show ending soon, creator Tony Gilroy hopes its greatest impact is inspiring the franchise to continue diversifying. Speaking to GamesRadar, Gilroy teased the second season would “break new ground and open up some canonical things and concepts” in such a way that future creatives

Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy told Collider he has killed plans to publish the critically acclaimed show’s scripts, despite having the 1,500-page collection ready to go, due to fear that the material would become training fodder for artificial intelligence systems. At an Emmy event in 2023, Gilroy announced plans to launch a free website featuring all of Andor’s scripts and concept art, journalist Jeff Goldsmith reported. “I wanted to do it. We put it together.

One of the most exciting characters we’re eager to see more of in season two of Andor on Disney+ is Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael, the rebellion’s main orchestrator. As the Empire has tried to uncover who he is, the mysterious benefactor of many identities and stunning wardrobe choices has become a fan-favorite new character of the Star Wars universe who ultimately gets Andor (Diego Luna) to join the cause.

One of the biggest reasons Andor is so good is one you probably don’t even think about. Sure, you can look at the gorgeous images on screen, the intense performances, and the beautiful sets, but none of that is possible without the writing. Show creator and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony Gilroy is the man most responsible for the writing on Andor and, a few years back, he teased Lucasfilm was going to release the scripts for season one to the public. Unfortunately, that never happened—and in

Tony Gilroy is a man with a vision. That vision guided him from the extensive reshoots of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story all the way to a Disney+ series about one of that film’s heroes, Cassian Andor—and finding in it a critical acclaim unlike anything the galaxy far, far away had seen in a generation. He’s also a very frank man who knows when that vision can potentially turn on a dime—as it did one day while filming the series in Scotland, when the writer, director, and showrunner realized that
