An oral history of Andor’s prison, one of Star Wars’ most frightening creations
Andor is a “grounded, gritty” reimagining done to actual perfection. Each week, creator Tony Gilroy and his collaborators have drilled down through the surface-level iconography of Star Wars — past the Skywalker saga and Boba Fett lookalikes — to find turbulent human drama unfolding in the shadow of the Empire. Gilroy first teamed up with Lucasfilm to tighten the screws of Rogue One, but each week on Andor, he’s brought Michael Clayton-levels of tension to the political maneuverings of the maturing rebellion. It’s astonishing to see, and it hits a peak with episode 10, a full-on prison break.
