Many have wondered if we would ever see an alternative directors cut of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and now Andor’s showrunner Tony Gilroy has gone on record stating what we got was “the absolute best possible version you could ever have”.
This is what he told the HollywoodReporter.com…
Gilroy, coming off the massive critical acclaim of the first season of his Disney+ Rogue One prequel series Andor, gave us a definitive answer: “Uh, no. That was the absolute best possible version you could ever have. Oh my God. No. No.”
More detail, please?
“I’m not going to go into any more detail,” Gilroy tells The Hollywood Reporter (in an interview before the May 2 writers strike). “But the more authority that you hear people talk about online about what happened on that movie, the less they know. That’s all that needs to be said. Maybe someday … but no. That’s the absolute best version of that movie that you could possibly imagine in the time that was given.”
Gilroy has finished writing the second/final season of Andor which is currently filming in the UK till August 2023, with an expected release on Disney+ around August 2024.
