They should put Tony Gilroy in charge of Star Wars

I think when a franchise is 50 years old, it should grow up

Tony Gilroy on not having Darth Vader in Andor: “Writing for Darth Vader is really limiting. I’ve done it. He doesn’t have a lot to say.”
Love this show’s artistic integrity.

In a just world, Return Of The Jedi would have been a Sidney Lumet film.

Like this for Star Trek and Spock/Kirk/literally any old character

When a person is 50 years old must they grow up. Asking for a friend. 😆❤️

Exactly. Vader is great if you need a force of nature to come in and destroy. He's not known for nuance.

Ideally, but he's probably said all he wants to in that world. The gauntlet has been thrown down, however.

Who needs Vader when you have Krenik swanning around chewing scenery?

Been saying this! It's clear as day. Give Tony the keys...!

I forgot new episodes dropped this week and it’s like Christmas.

I don’t necessarily think he should be in charge of it, but I do think he should do more with it. Sometimes it’s good to have a non-fan involved in this stuff because they can see it differently. Andor and Rogue One really prove that.

I can't achieve escape velocity after the first episode and a half of Andor after trying 2X but, dammit, I'm on a mission now.

Nah. Love and appreciate what he's brought to the franchise, but everything shouldn't be in the Andor mold or flavor.

Plus, as a writer and a creative, he very clearly wants to work on other things. After 10 years, he's ready to move on.

Watched the entire first season this week, then started the second. Am sure I will attempt another Star Wars show after this, then give up from quality whiplash.

Good writing! Strong acting! Actual shot composition! Subtlety!

The Boba Fett show, by contrast managed to turn me off Star Wars for two-plus years. Almost pure slop.

It's peculiar to me which franchises are expected to grow up, and which ones people want to remain juvenile. We tried a more serious Superman, now we're getting Silver Age silly stuff, very much purposefully.
