The series “Andor” ended its run this year, marking one of the top-tier “Star Wars” productions ever made. Originally, the show’s creator, Tony Gilroy, had envisioned a five-season arc for “Andor”. However, Disney+ eventually reduced that to just two seasons. Interestingly, at a recent event dedicated to the series, Collider got an exclusive look at Gilroy’s initial pitch for season 2 to Lucasfilm. Remarkably, what was ultimately filmed closely mirrored his original pitch from 2022 – a rarity in television production. Here is Tony Gilroy’s original pitch for “Andor” season 2: [link provided]
In the second season of “Andor”, as per Tony Gilroy’s original concept, the relationship between Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and Bix (Adria Arjona) is not a shallow romantic subplot. Instead, it is a deeply nuanced and authentic love story between two individuals who have been circling each other for years but haven’t yet fully committed. This complex emotion was hinted at in the first season and will be further explored. Bix is not merely a romantic accessory; she has her own depth and significance, which Gilroy acknowledged from the very start of planning “Andor” season two.
Gilroy’s proposal for season two of ‘Andor’ primarily revolves around the Ghorman Massacre, a pivotal moment that transforms Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) into an Imperial martyr. However, it is also the catalyst that propels Mon Mothma, portrayed by Genevieve O’Reilly, to rise as the leader of the Rebel Alliance. In Gilroy’s ‘Andor’, this event is described as a pivotal and intense moment in the series, with the script stating, “The Ghorman Massacre serves as Mon Mothma’s definitive boundary. This horrific incident will inspire her to speak out against the Emperor in the Senate chamber, ultimately leading to her escape.
It appears that Gilroy devised an impressive strategy for season two of Andor at an early stage, as evidenced by the quality of the series, demonstrating the great potential of Star Wars when executed with a well-defined vision.
