What I love about this and everything I've read from Gilroy about Andor is that it was about hiring people, recognising their talents, and renegotiating the project to take advantage of that. Genuine collaboration, not Hollywood "I loved working with him!"

The original trilogy (like Andor, shot in the UK) was also a weird mishmash of Lucas, but also a crack creative team of editors, directors, writers, sound, music, design, and of course SFX. No single element triumphs.

And also, of course, that it is ABOUT something, and in a textual way, not metaphorically, not intertextually, not subtextually. I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards

@dangolding I think in Andor that it is also about somewhere. Each major location has a rich history and a culture associated with it.
