Tony Gilroy, the creator/writer of the Disney+ Andor series, has confessed he didn’t know about the show’s Easter eggs until each episode aired.
Gilroy told THR previously that he urged his Andor collaborators to put aside their Star Wars reverence in order to achieve verisimilitude, and that also meant resisting the franchise’s tendency to foreground Easter eggs. However, this edict didn’t stop his art department from tucking away a few notable items, much to the surprise of Gilroy.
“Every now and then, they sneak shit in there that even I didn’t know,” Gilroy says. “I was reading online about the antiquities in Luthen’s gallery, and the provenance of some of those antiquities was news to me. So it was fantastic that the art department snuck those things in there.”
