Vanity Fair take a closer look at the making of the 12th and final episode of the debut season of Andor, Rix Road, an episode that not only stamped its indelible mark on the entire saga but also rightly earned the show many of its Emmy nominations.
The Force was not part of the story on Andor, the Emmy-nominated Star Wars series that focuses more on the everyday world of Rebel spies and Imperial apparatchiks rather than the mystical realm of the Jedi and Sith. Nonetheless, something magical took over as the narrative moved from script to stage to screen. Showrunner Tony Gilroy discovered that himself when he watched a scene from the final, perfect episode, in which a funeral brick made out of the remains of a deceased Rebel believer becomes a weapon that is literally used to smash the Empire.
