About this episode
In a conversation moderated by four-time Emmy-nominated cinematographer and director Michael Goi, ASC, three of the creators behind Disney+’s Andor — costume supervisor Kate O’Farrell, production designer Luke Hull and composer Brandon Roberts — detail how they collaborated with creator Tony Gilroy to build the world of his acclaimed Star Wars spinoff series. The two-season drama, set prior to the events of Rogue One , follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) as he grows from smuggler to a stalwart of the rebellion. For O’Farrell and Roberts, working on a Star Wars show was a dream come true, while Hull was drawn in also by Gilroy’s desire to shake up storytelling in that universe. Hull’s memory of Gilroy’s initial pitch: Join up “if you want to be a pirate and do something different with it.”
