Andor is an incredible series that is only incidentally connected to star wars. In particular, the ability to slowly and organically ramp up tension in each of the major arcs is truly special.

It's so sad that Disney burned some Star Wars fans so much that they will never give Andor a chance. It is such a work of art.

I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I'm so happy to hear Tony Gilroy drawing direct parallels to the Empire and the current US administration.

Really annoying but somebody used AI to transcribe whatever Tony said in his speech and interview, And it's really obvious because it's full of small mistakes

"New cycle" instead of news cycle "Catherine reel" instead of Catherine wheel

Is this the Star Wars equivalent of dressing up as characters from The Handmaidens Tale and being overly dramatic?
