Andor may be one of the most critically acclaimed Star Wars projects of all time, but showrunner Tony Gilroy isn't sure whether franchise creator George Lucas has actually seen it.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the writer-director was asked if Lucas had tuned in, to which he candidly replied: "I don't know. Not even rumorwise. I've only spoken to him once, after Rogue One. I spoke to him on the phone. He was congratulating us. But no, I've never met him, and I've never talked to him about it."
"She has protected the show and protected me and wrangled a team together. When we started challenging Kathy, Kathy just kept saying yes," he explained, noting how open she was to exploring a darker, more adult tone. "'Oh, I'm going to put the first scene in a brothel.' 'Okay.' 'I'm going to have them kill two cops.' 'Okay.' 'We want the production designer from Chernobyl.' 'Okay, good idea.' She backed our play and got everything that we were doing. We've been through everything, she and I, on this — all the good and all the bad. There's no show without her. For all the shit that she takes online, it's just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man."
