Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy says his Star Wars show is trying to be “more serious about this sh*t than anybody ever has been”

Andor is probably the most serious of all the Star Wars shows, so it’s no surprise that its showrunner, Tony Gilroy, takes the galaxy far, far away very, very seriously.

“That’s been our attitude all the way through: not to be cynical, and to take it more seriously than anybody ever took it,” Gilroy told Gizmodo. “Even while we’re changing – some people feel as though it’s changing a lot – but even while we’re changing the grammar of what you can do, we’re trying very rigorously to be more serious about this shit than anybody ever has been.”
