The stars of Andor rightly get plenty of attention, but there are plenty of other creative people working on the show. Saturday 7th June will see AndMore arrive in Fordingbridge and give the designers and builders of the show the spotlight, and here the writers of the season (Tony Gilroy for episodes 1-3, Beau Willomon for episodes 4-6, Dan Gilroy for episodes 7-9 and Tom Bissell for episodes 10-12) chat with Jeff Goldsmith about this groundbreaking journey to the galaxy far, far away.

Tom Bissel also spoke with Paste Magazine about those final three episodes.

Paste: Was there any moment from Rogue One that helped snap everything into place, especially in “Jedha, Kyber, Erso”?

Bissell: The big revelation we had when we were talking about who knew what and when, is we brought up the Tivik/Cassian scene from Rogue One. I remember Tony watching it, and he had a little smile on his face because I think he was puzzling through the cosmic happenstance of having to rework a scene that he probably wrote quickly to get things rolling. But when Tivik says, “This guy named Erso…” and Cassian says, “Galen? Is it?” That is the whole key to my block. The name is out there but it doesn’t mean anything beyond that. Cassian’s flash of recognition was probably just a strange choice made in the moment by them writing it and Diego performing it. But not seven years later, that moment—the fact that he knows that name—we hung so much upon that small little thing that I doubt most people even notice when they were watching.

Jeff also caught up with Tony Gilroy for a season 2 recap, a chat you can also hear on Apple podcasts.
