Although it took almost six years to come to fruition, Andor creator Tony Gilroy admitted that the series was started due to budget issues.
Kathleen Kennedy thinks George Lucas is dead
Tony Gilroy created Andor, which turned out to be one of the best entries in the Star Wars franchise. The series serves as a spin-off to Rogue One, which Gilroy had helped with during reshoots. However, it took nearly six years for the spin-off series to materialize after the film's release, and Gilroy revealed why that was the case for an unavoidable reason.
During an interview, Gilroy was asked about the creation of the spin-off show, with the writer and producer discussing Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy's involvement in the project. Gilroy revealed that despite Kennedy's interest in greenlighting the series, it faced an obstacle that could not be overcome before. Here's why Kennedy had to pay homage to Andor for years before making it.
Andor stars Diego Luna, with the actor reprising his role from 2016's Rogue One. Created by Tony Gilroy, the series is a prequel to the film and follows Cassian Andor on his journey to become a key figure in the Rebel Alliance. It received mostly positive reviews with a second installment on the way.
