Andor Creator’s Shocking Admission: Just One Call with Lucas!

The realm associated with “” has traveled quite a distance from the times when it was merely experimented with small-scale models and later evolved into the foundation for a franchise spanning over five decades, eventually becoming one of the highest-grossing intellectual properties globally. As the mastermind behind “Andor”, “” has significantly contributed to the current prosperity of this franchise. However, as he shared with George Edelman from MovieWeb, this doesn’t automatically make him a close confidant of the godfather of this franchise.

The boldly titled series, due for its second and concluding season in the upcoming weeks, will debut its first installment of three episodes on Disney+ on April 22nd. In anticipation of the season opener, Gilroy has shared an unexpected tidbit: he’s had merely a single discussion with Lucas regarding the franchise.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve shared a conversation over the phone with George Lucas just once, following the release of Rogue One. It was he who reached out to me. To my delight, this has been the sole interaction I’ve ever enjoyed with him.

In the late 1970s, Lucas devised an innovative concept for a space-set family drama, where characters would fight using staffs of light and the lead character would grapple with complex daddy issues against the franchise’s villain. Similarly, Gilroy has been deeply engrossed in creation for many years, essentially becoming “hooked” on expanding the universe initially developed by Lucas decades ago.

If your passion lies in creating fictional worlds, then that’s the essence of our lives. It’s an intense exploration into one’s imagination, a daily immersion into writing, designing, and decision-making. This creative pursuit is incredibly captivating, almost addictive. It’s like a secret sanctuary, a haven from reality. After five years of this, it becomes increasingly challenging to disengage, but the imaginative journey is unparalleled for that duration.

‘Andor’ Season 2 Has No Surprise Outcome, but the Journey Will Be Epic

In the case of the series “Andor“, viewers have a clear sense of the story’s direction. It’s common knowledge that the second season will conclude with a direct transition into the events depicted in “Rogue One“. Yet, this predictability serves to emphasize the show’s focus on the characters’ transformative journey. The narrative unfolds the path these characters take from their Season 1 finale to the commencement of “Rogue One“.

Even though some stars have hinted at unexpected character developments for the series, which fans might not be eagerly waiting for, there’s still plenty of narrative left unexplored in Andor, given that each set of three episodes essentially constitutes a “mini-season” within a larger season spanning multiple years.

High expectations abound for Andor to carry on the exceptional storytelling that earned it a top spot among Disney+’s shows and within the entire Star Wars franchise. After spending several years in development, Andor may very well add another remarkable chapter to the space saga’s rich history.
