Interview with Tony Gilroy (Rerelease)

No episode this week! Some unexpected things came up for both Mac and Alex, but we will return next week with a full scene by scene breakdown of Episode 4 of Season 3 of House of the Dragon. In the meantime, enjoy this rerelease of our interview with Andor creator, Tony Gilroy!

Join Children of the Watch for a roundtable conversation with Tony Gilroy, the Creator and Executive Producer behind Andor.

Alex got the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Tony and some of the greatest voices in Star Wars fan media, including Star Wars Explained, Triad of the Force, and Blast Points to discuss Andor Season 2. The discussion includes the introduction of the Force to the show, some of the real-world political and historical roots of Andor, and even Tony's process for coming up with Star Wars names.

Special thank you to Tony and eall the wonderful shows involved in the discussion, and also to Lucasfilm for the invitation and for capturing the footage and audio from the conversation.
