Andor' Creator Tony Gilroy on giving Season 2 a 'hopeful ending' leading into 'Rogue One' and creating Luthen and Kleya's backstory in Ep 210.

The Andor creator, Tony Gilroy, deepens the tragedy of Rogue One with one heartbreaking twist surrounding Bix in the series finale.

In a recent interview with Variety , Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy revealed that the Star Wars series’ acclaimed first episode wasn’t always as great as it ended up being. In fact, it was so boring during its first cut that Gilroy had one immediate reaction: “What the f*ck is this?

Andor” ends with the release of a three-episode series finale on Tuesday. The Disney+ streaming show took “Star Wars" to previously unexplored places, including depiction of the long-term effects of trauma.

"My son is a big Star Wars fan and often busts my balls about how little I know," Gilroy quips. Andor gives an origin story to one of the most memorable lines of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This wasn't originally in the script because Tony Gilroy thought the line had originated somewhere else in canon.

Andor Season 2 will conclude on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. This is the final season of the acclaimed Star Wars spin-off show run by filmmaker Tony Gilroy.
