Tony Gilroy is very sad of the relevance of “Andor”

When Tony Gilroy started her Andor Journey, her original field was deemed “quite crazy and unknown” by the head of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner revealed how this initial socket would later be revisited after Lucasfilm thought to him.

“They came back to me and said,” We looked at this note from a year and a half ago, and that made us much more sense now “,” he recalls. This, of course, led a series to develop on the very foundation that Star Wars Creator George Lucas had in mind when he started the beloved saga: the spaces of space are bad and the rebellion arrives.

Time Award’s appointments was announced for the second season acclaimed by criticism of the show, real titles of mirror events strangely seen in Andor. In particular, a scene from the episode nominated at the Emmy Emmy “Welcome to the Rebellion”, who portrays a senator from Ghorman who is transported by Stormtroopers as he says: “My people today and yours tomorrow; Remember Ghorman! hit a very opportune nerve.

It is a series of devastating events that is not lost for Gilroy. “When I started in the series, the parallels between what was happening in the world and what was going on in the galaxy and the Empire – these were already obvious.” He explained that his inspiration came from a love of history and to use it to integrate the seeds of the way in which totalitarianism has taken root Star Wars.

“But in the six years, we have made the show, this little monster started and learned to run,” he said. “When (the American senator for California Alex Padilla) was withdrawn from the ice meeting, as in the episode on the senator of Ghorman, there was a large chain of text in our group like:” Oh my god. He looked like the series. “It’s very sad for us how much he rhymes.”

While we continue to live unprecedented, the filmmaker notes that Andor Smells like something that he cannot be redone. It is disappointing, but as the state of the entertainment industry continues to evolve, it makes sense.

“For five and a half years, every day of my life, I had an imaginative maximum involvement which has never been complete: writing, design, music, casting, all this,” said Gilroy about pandemic production. “Each request for your imagination which could never be asked to criticize your attention. It is a rather exhilarating place to live. I learned to love it. But I can not imagine that I would never be so fully committed,” he concluded, but we are waiting for the vast galaxy to make room for its return; We need these stories more than ever.
