Speaking to Collider’s Maggie Lovitt ahead of the final season of Andor, showrunner and writer Tony Gilroy has made it clear that his time with Star Wars appears to be over and he’s not feeling guilty about it.
Gilroy, who was a major force behind the reshoots on Rogue One before crafting one of the most acclaimed Star Wars projects in Andor, reflected on just how much of his career has been dedicated to the franchise. When asked about Kennedy’s comments, he revealed, “It’s not really part of my plan.”
“I’ve been peripherally involved for 10 years and intensely involved for six years, so that’s a pretty big chunk of my life. There are other things to do. I think when it’s done, I will have left a pretty big piece of Star Wars real estate behind. I’m not feeling guilty about not chipping in. ”
Season 2 of Andor will premiere in April, but his next project will take him far away from blasters, the Empire, and Rebel spies: “There’s a movie I’m trying to make. I want to direct. I’d like to direct before I forget how. So, I have a movie I’m trying to get off. We’ll see if I get the money for it.” And while Gilroy is best known for his political thrillers like Michael Clayton, he revealed that this new project will take him into completely new territory.
“It’s a movie about movie music.”
Andor Season 2 streams exclusively on Disney+ on April 22nd in North America and April 23rd in the UK & Europe.
