"I'm Not Missing Anything": Andor Showrunner Addresses Original Five-Season Plan, Insists Show Is Better For Major Changes

Andorshowrunner Tony Gilroy has shared his perspective on the decision to take this Star Warsshow from five seasons (in the original plan) down to just two. Andor season 2's ending meant the conclusion of the show, and it is already being hailed as one of Star Wars' best TV shows, if not the single best. That raises interesting questions about whether five seasons would have made the show better or worse—but Tony Gilroy has a clear and assertive answer.
Per Backstory Magazine, Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy explained that, although the show shifted from a five-season plan to just two seasons, he doesn't feel as though the story was compromised in any way or is missing anything. Gilroy said:
"I don't feel that way, man, no. I think, alright, maybe it would've been a lot of jazz hands and a lot of drinking coffee. I don't know what the hell it would've been.
