It was easy to tell who wasgood and bad in the first Star Wars movie, but Rogue One writer and Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has blurred the lines.
Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has openly discussed the moral complexities of the Rebel Alliance. When George Lucas originally created Star Wars back in 1977, it was pretty obvious who were the heroes and who were the villains. Since then, though, Star Wars has gone to great lengths to add a greater degree of moral complexity to the franchise. This peaked in the Andor Disney+ TV show, created by Tony Gilroy, which showed the nascent Rebel Alliance.
Speaking on the Dagobah Dispatch podcast, Gilroy has openly noted the moral complexity of this particular time period. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "If your business is based on paranoia and secrecy and death, how do you expand your business? How do you go public? How do you go wide? The Rebel Alliance that emerges on Yavin, it's almost like the Christian Democrats: It's a consolidated compromise group.
It's a fascinating question, pointing to an aspect of the Rebel Alliance not represented by the likes of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. It also builds organically out of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which introduced viewers to Star Wars' Saw Gerrera, positioned as a brutal warrior during the early days of the Rebel Alliance.
Andor is the story of the rebellion before it became mainstream, and the likes of Luthen and Saw Gerrera will never be embraced by the galaxy as heroes. But they were essential nevertheless - as revealed in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where Luthen's key asset played a crucial role in acquiring the Death Star plans. Without the heroes of Andor, the Rebel Alliance would never have succeeded.
