.StarWarsAndor cast and showrunner Tony Gilroy reveal why the Disney+ show is like no other. Andor 'This is the most grounded that Star Wars will get.'
is to show the birth of the rebellion against the Empire, a revolt that barely exists when the show’s narrative begins. “It’s, really,” Gilroy says, referring to the vintage book and TV miniseries about the earliest days of World War II. “War is coming.” The stories and characters are meant to be ground level; even a plot twist early on, where a character calls the Imperial cops on Andor because of romantic jealousy, is fresh territory for Star Wars.
“I had blue-sky conversations with Kathy,” says Gilroy. “‘Can you do this? Can you do that?’ The galaxy is just enormous. There’s billions of creatures that are living their lives. And so far the narrative has been focused on a singular group of people in a centralized storyline. It just seemed like infinite possibilities to take it [away from that].”
The solution was to push against the draw-it-out imperative of ultra-serialized storytelling in the streaming era. With Lucasfilm’s permission, they decided to dramatically speed up the pace, and turn the show into a 24-episode limited series.’s first season, which covers a year’s worth of events, as planned, was already broken up into three-episode blocks, with each block helmed by a single director.
