With Obi-Wan Kenobi coning our way later this week and Star Wars Celebration only 3 days away, thoughts turn to later in the year and the arrival of Andor, and writer Tony Gilroy talks to Vanity Fair about the show, and how it could very likely subvert expectations, not only about the show itself but characters we think we know well.
“There are certain events that happen in these five years that are important and need to be paid attention to. There are certain people, characters that are legacy characters, that the audience, the passionate audience, really feels that they have an understanding of and know,” Gilroy explains. “In some cases, they’re right. And in some cases, what we’re saying is, ‘What you know, what you’ve been told, what’s on Wookieepedia, what you’ve been telling each other…is really all wrong.”
Or, if not wrong, he adds: “It’s upside down, or it’s sideways, or it’s the opposite of what you thought was true. Or it’s way more interesting than you had ever thought. Or that’s a lie and there’s a reason for it. I would say that there’s some surprises in store.”
We’re beyond excited for the arrival of the 12 part series Andor on Disney Plus later this year, and we’ll be all over it on the site, socials, Good Morning Tatooine and on Fantha Tracks radio.
