Tony Gilroy says the world of Andor can expand but it depends on Lucasfilm

AS Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) ascends to a leadership role in rebellion Andor Second seasonHe puts his course for this fate with fate in Rogue One: Star Wars HistoryS But where does this leave the impressive ensemble of other characters introduced into the series – do you know if they do it from this last season alive?

In seating with IO9, we asked the creator of the show Tony Gilroy his thoughts of moving from Andor After making a series of cinematographic heads that set the table for the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – New Hope.

About whether he thinks Lucasfilm can take the stories of AndorRebels or imperial personalities without him, Gilroy said, “Well, they have everything, they can do as they wish. I want to say that we have made eight films in five years.” (Describing the work on Andor Since “Movies” makes sense because each of the triepisode drops of every second season feels like a three -hour movie.)

Gilroy continued: “There are many ideas, many new planets, many of everything there; it’s their picking.”

Ultimately his cooperation through Andor It was a limited experience that introduced many new favorite characters and villains, and this is mostly thanks to Lucasfilm leader. “My relationship with Lucasfilm is mostly with Kathleen (Kennedy). I mainly deal with it (s) Pablo Idalo (who) is the kind of goalkeeper of (history) there when it comes to maintaining things. He is the historian and he is a hive arbiter and what he is not. Rogue, We spent time on Scammer And this is my main point of connection with Lucasfilm. “

“I talked to George Lucas only once after Scammer on the phone – I have never met him, “he told his only interaction with Interstellar Creator.

“We are left to be free distances here,” Gilroy said. “We somehow unfolded, continued to test. We tested the beginning:” We want to get him to go to a mess and kill two cops! ” – Okay! “We want to hire the production designer from Chernobyl! ‘ – Okay! We showed what we wanted to do and then we started to do it and they were just incredibly supportive. “

Andor Second season premieres on April 22 at Disney+.
