Stephen Colbert hosts a revealing chat with Andor creator Tony Gilroy and star Diego Luna, unpacking the show’s storytelling and development madness.
It’s a candid and fun chat that covers everything from creative risks to development chaos, and emotional performances.
If you’re into storytelling craft, character nuance, or just want to hear Diego Luna gush about his childhood Darth Vader crayon case, this one’s gold.
Tony Gilroy didn’t come to play it safe – his pitch started with, “He goes to a brothel to look for his sister, then kills two cops. Is that okay?” And Lucasfilm went, “Yep.”
Gilroy calls himself “the igniter of mania,” trusting messy drafts and a six-year writing marathon to build something timeless. He says, “I sacrifice media literacy for long-term value.”
Diego Luna plays Cassian knowing his tragic fate, which makes every “I’ll be back” hit harder. As Diego puts it, “Every moment has a very special meaning… I know something the audience knows and the character doesn’t”.
