Andor creator Tony Gilroy: ‘My Star Wars characters are based more on Trotsky than Trump’ (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Potentially equally testing has been the return of Trump to the White House. Has there any imperative from Lucasfilm to adjust the depiction of the Empire in light of a presidency that could be seen to mirror it?

honestly want the show to be timeless. My characters are based more on Trotsky than Trump. I’m fascinated by revolutions. If I tried to sell a movie script about a young revolutionary dying for the cause, no-one’s going to back me. In fact, I’m trying to get a $40 million movie made right now; everybody loves the script, but they all say it’s really original. So, I’m f----d. But if you tell it as Star Wars, you have a place to play.”

That said, is he now done with the Star Wars universe? “You never say never, but I certainly hope so,” he nods as we wind up our chat.

Dave Filoni can run a great show, but what separates Andor from his stuff is how much Gilroy just couldn't give a fuck about Star Wars. And he doesn't need to - he probably has a legion of nerds on staff to help him get all the universe details right lol
