In the category of "protectors" of Star Wars, there is of course George Lucas, the father of the saga, Dave Filoni, but also Tony Gilroy, the screenwriter of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Andor. As season 2 of its spin-off series prepares to To be released on Disney+ with critical acclaim, the showrunner has just announced this bad news that will depress fans of the franchise...
Andor: Tony Gilroy, a pillar of Star Wars
Even today, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story remains one of the films of the post-Disney era that fans of the saga appreciate the most. Unlike the postlogy, this opus, seen as an independent feature film, is unanimously acclaimed by the public, whether connoisseurs or neophytes. Also, when Tony Gilroy, one of the film's co-writers, was announced to be at the helm of Andor, its spin-off series, fans of this very, very distant universe were delighted. While season 2 of the solo adventures of Cassian, the officer played by by Diego Luna, arriving this Wednesday, April 23 on Disney+, the showrunner confides in his future in the franchise. And that won't please fans of his work.
Andor season 2: Tony Gilroy's swan song?
Unfortunately for all fans of his work, these new episodes mark the end of his collaboration with Star Wars:
I've been here for five and a half years, and Rogue [One] before that. 24 episodes. I think I've kept myself busy from my little piece of garden,I think I'd like to try something else for a while.
So yes, you will tell us that in these statements, recently made to our colleagues at ComicBook.fr, Tony Gilroy does not close the door to a possible future collaboration with Disney in the long-term universe of Star Wars, but concretely, the director wants to explore new horizons. Don't panic though, Disney has no fewer than 14 projects in store for us in the (more or less near) future.
And you, what do you think of the filmmaker's decision?
