Andor creator Tony Gilroy details how Lucasfilm took a huge risk with the Rogue One prequel series, which changed Star Wars’ formula for the better.
Andor’s creator Tony Gilroy reveals that Lucasfilm took “a huge gamble” on the show, which felt different from anything Star Wars had ever done. Andor season 1, starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, was released in September 2022, and it collected stellar reviews from critics, long-time Star Wars audiences, and general viewers. The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel revisited a few familiar characters and locations, but it also brought exciting new elements into the saga.
Yeah, they took a huge gamble on what we're doing. You know how these things go, on this scale... there's a long period of time of showing work and trying to make deals, and you go pretty far along the way, but they knew what we were gonna do, and I think they very wisely and very badly want to open new lanes for this franchise. Why should it just be this one thing? There's so many opportunities in the franchise.
According to the showrunner, the idea was to make “a really different kind of show”, and that audiences would not have to watch Star Wars, as in the entire saga, to really enjoy it. Gilroy also mentions the importance of The Mandalorian, Star Wars’ first live-action TV show, to the process of getting Andor made.
