And a lot had to do with the delivery and what Andy Serkis brought. For me, Kino read as a very important character, but definitely not as important as it turned out.

I didn’t understand 100 percent what we were doing in that arc until I got into the clothes and until I was basically in that prison. What stands out in your memory about shooting that, and also about sharing scenes with Andy Serkis, who made a major impression as Kino Loy? I think there’s a lot to celebrate about this show.Ī lot of people’s favorite story arc in Season One was the Narkina 5 prison break. So, yeah, I’m hoping this show gets the recognition that it deserves, period. I was really pleased when the first nominations came and people were putting our show next to shows the critics were liking at the moment.

Basically the reasons why I was so pleased to do it, and why I decided to dedicate what’s now going to be a little more than four years of my life. I mean, to me, one of the things that has been celebrated since day one about the show is that it’s realistic, that it’s grounded, that it feels very, very intense, that it’s dark and mature.

The first season of Andor, with Tony Gilroy ( Michael Clayton, the Bourne movies) as showrunner, was a minor miracle: a cerebral, grounded, politically charged Star Warsshow for grown-ups. ‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ Is the Space Opera Simulator Fans Need
