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.”

The complete inability of any Star Wars media to veer from the centre means its "revolution" much more resembles the multi-polar fights for national sovereignty, which inevitably end in the financial backers and middle class elements betraying the rest so that they can be the new landlords of their freed land. By aping so many real world examples Andor has brief flashes of realism but its completely aesthetic and surface level.
