Tony Gilroy is very sad about how relevant “Andor” has become

When Tony Gilroy started his Andor Journey, his original place was “pretty crazy and unstoppable” by than from Lucasfilm Head Kathleen Kennedy. In a new interview with The Hollywood reporterThe showrunner unveiled how this first setting was later visited after Lucasfilm thought about it.

“They came back to me and said:” We looked at this memo a year and a half ago, and it makes it much more sense for us now, “he recalled. Of course, this led to a series that expanded exactly the foundation star Wars The creator George Lucas had in mind when he started the beloved Saga: Nazis room is bad and the rebellion comes.

Around the time drawing nominations were announced for the The second season of the show celebrated by the criticism of the showreal headlines scary monitored events that were seen in Andor. In particular, a scene in the episode “Welcome to the Rebellion” nominated by Emmy, which shows a Ghormann senator who, as he says of StormTroopers: “My today and your people tomorrow; remember Ghorman!” hit a very prompt nerve.

It is a devastating series of events that Gilroy is not lost. “When I started on the show, the parallels between what happened in the world were and what happened in the galaxy and the empire – these were already obvious.” He explained that his inspiration came from a love of history and used it to bed the seeds of totalitarianism into the root in the seeds star Wars.

“But in the six years we made the show, this little monster got up and learned how to run,” he said. “As (US Senator for California Alex Padilla), the ice assembly was pulled out of the ice assembly, as in the episode the Ghormann Senator was pulled out, there was a big fact in our group, like ‘Oh my god. It looked like the show.’ It is very sad for us how much it rhymes.

While we continue to live in unprecedented times, the filmmaker states Andor Feel like something that he cannot do again. It is disappointing, but since the condition of the entertainment industry is developing, it makes sense.

“Five and a half years, every single day of my life, I had a maximum imaginative commitment that was never completely written, design, music, casting, everything,” said Gilroy about the production born in pandemic. “Any demand for her imagination that could ever be asked was to scream for her attention. This is a pretty exhilarating place to life. I loved it. But I can’t imagine that I would ever be so engaged again,” he concluded, but we hope that the huge galaxy makes space for his return. We now need these stories more than ever.
