Andor creator Tony Gilroy on the Star Wars series' Emmy nominations and the nominations that they didn't get too.

A slow-burning tale about the creep of authoritarianism, the show explores how the “Star Wars” universe’s revolutionary Rebel Alliance is born from the wreckage of state surveillance, militarism and the erosion of civil liberties under the fascist-coded Galactic Empire.

With 14 Emmy noms today for the second season of Disney+/Lucasfilm's Andor --the third most ever for a Star Wars show after the second and first seasons of The Mandalorian (24 noms and 15 noms)--you'd think there be some cause to celebrate.

Sen. Alex Padilla's forcible removal from a Dept. of Homeland Security press conference is among the real-world events the 'Andor' showrunner likens to his 'Star Wars' prequel.

Screenwriter Beau Willimon has revealed which Andor character was his favorite to write for and which Star Wars spinoff he'd enjoy working on.

The second series of Andor, now streaming on Disney Plus, is critically acclaimed for its unflinching look at the politics of Star Wars – and by extension, the real world.

A close runner-up for many was Kino Loy (Andy Serkis), making his quite literal breakout speech from the prison in season 1, assuring inmates that there was one way out. "Kino is my favorite," one fan added. "Absolutely legendary. He doesn't need to come back and do anything else in Star Wars. That character in that moment alone was perfect."

Andor’s showrunner, Tony Gilroy, recently revealed which Star Wars show he thinks is really cool, and it’s definitely not what you’re expecting.

With Andor over, next up on the live-action Star Wars TV front is Ahsoka Season 2, which will likely premiere sometime next year. The Mandalorian & Grogu is also set to be released on the 2026 movies schedule, this being the first theatrical Star Wars offering since The Rise of Skywalker.

Andor Season 2 has earned 14 Emmy nominations, including two for actors who reprised their old Rogue One roles.
