Andor creator Tony Gilroy has revealed he "fought hard" about money for season 2 of his Star Waꦐrs show.

The Rogue One prequel, starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, cost a lot of money, but it's already become the most critically acclaimed live-♑action 🥂Star Wars project ever.

"I mean, [for] Disney this is $650 million," Gilroy said at the ATX Television Festival (via ). "For 24 episodes, I never took a note. We said 'Fuck the Empire' in the first season, and they said, 'Can you please not do that?' … In season 2, they said, 'Streaming is dead, we don't have the money we had before,' so we fought hard about money, but they🌸 never cleaned anything up. That [freedom] comes with responsibilities."

"Streaming is dead" might come as some surprise, considering the studio has its own dedicated streamer, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus. But, Disney's Marvel and Sta✱r Wars small-screen output has certainly slowed recentl🦹y.

Next up for Star Wars is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is a big-screen adventure for Din Djarin and Din Grogu. Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver star. After that, it's Shawn Levy's and Ryan Gosling's Starfighter movie, 澳洲♉幸运5开奖号码历史查询:which was finꩲally officially confirmed at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Celebration 2025.
