Is there a second within the present that for you was the coldest, the iciest? You talked about caring about being too sentimental or being too gentle at instances. But have been there moments the place you have been like, \u201cI don\u2019t know\u2026this might be too dark\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Too darkish\u2026 Bringing these uncooked recruits into Ghorman as cannon fodder, I bear in mind Danny [Gilroy,<\/strong> his brother and fellow writer on Andor<\/em>] referred to as me up with that concept. [The Empire] provides them up as goal observe to begin the bloodbath<\/a>. It\u2019s a fairly unhappy concept.<\/p>\n

They are simply younger boys, virtually. Clearly, they don\u2019t know they’re being marched to their deaths for a publicity stunt. It challenges the viewer to really feel sympathy for any individual within the Empire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hell yeah.<\/p>\n

In that sequence, the Empire primarily stokes a violent response from the Ghorman individuals to justify crushing them and seizing the planet. That\u2019s one other vital concept for the rebellion-minded: When you imagine strongly in one thing, it\u2019s simple to be led right into a lure by that keenness. You should be good and step fastidiously when you’re participating in resistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s occurred so<\/em> many instances earlier than. \u201cWe need rebels that you can count on to do the wrong thing when you want it.\u201d I imply, that\u2019s occurred. It goes again earlier than Caesar. It in all probability goes again to the primary friggin\u2019 campfire. That\u2019s a tried-and-true approach.<\/p>\n

Even earlier than she was Lucasfilm\u2019s president, you labored with Kathleen Kennedy for years on the Bourne<\/em> motion pictures. Everybody is looking Andor<\/em> probably the most grown-up Star Wars<\/em> story instructed to date. Can you describe her function on this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, she type of snuck me into this factor.<\/p>\n

She trapped you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] Yeah, she type of seduced me into it. There was a time frame the place I actually wished the present to die and I wished to get out of it. When COVID got here, I believed, Oh, thank God. COVID will kill the present, and I received\u2019t should do it. So there was an extended time frame the place I used to be like, I can\u2019t imagine she received me into this.<\/p>\n

Why did you need it to die?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we had scripts going, and I used to be going to direct a bunch of episodes, and we have been in London\u2014we have been casting\u2014and I used to be simply completely naive about what it could take to make the present. I actually didn’t know what I used to be doing in any respect, by way of the scope of labor. So when COVID got here, it was like, Oh, you understand what? That\u2019s an indication from God, no present. But the irony is that in that spell, we actually found out how<\/em> to make it. We found out a system to do it and received sufficient of a reset and a deep breath.<\/p>\n

How did Kennedy assist with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She has protected the present and guarded me and wrangled a crew collectively. When we began difficult Kathy, Kathy simply stored saying sure. \u201cOh, I\u2019m going to put the first scene in a brothel.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going to have them kill two cops.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cWe want the production designer from Chernobyl.<\/em>\u201d \u201cOkay, good idea.\u201d She backed our play and received the whole lot that we have been doing. We\u2019ve been via the whole lot, she and I, on this\u2014all the nice and all of the unhealthy. There\u2019s no present with out her. For all of the shit that she takes on-line, it\u2019s simply insane. This present exists as a result of she compelled it to occur. What a troublesome job she has, man.<\/p>\n

Has George Lucas seen Andor<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. Not even rumorwise. I\u2019ve solely spoken to him as soon as, after Rogue One.<\/em> I spoke to him on the cellphone. He was congratulating us. But no, I\u2019ve by no means met him, and I\u2019ve by no means talked to him about it. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve mentioned your tour in Star Wars<\/em> is over for now. What\u2019s subsequent for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m attempting to get a film off<\/a> with Oscar Isaac,<\/strong> a film about film music. It\u2019s set in LA, so I\u2019m following the tax credit score factor very fastidiously. Money\u2019s tight. But it\u2019s a film that I actually need to make. A extremely attention-grabbing, cool concept. And I’d be directing. We have the whole lot able to go. We\u2019re simply attempting to get to the quantity, you understand?<\/p>\n
