Tony Gilroy, the creator and writer of Andor, has shared the reason behind choosing not to use the Volume/StageCraft for the upcoming Disney+ series.
Explaining the filmmaking choice, Andor creator and writer Tony Gilroy clarified for TVLine at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday, “Nobody’s against the Volume — the Volume is fantastic for the things that it’s for.”
Andor, however, “is just on a massively epic scale, and people would be running off the set all the time,” quipped Gilroy.
A prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andor focuses on Cassian Andor (played again by Diego Luna) and his journey to discover the difference he can make. Season 1’s 12 episodes will be set five years prior to Rogue One and span one year in time, whereas Season 2 (another 12 episodes) will cover the remaining four years.
Andor makes its debut on Disney+ with three episodes on September 21st.
