While select fans were quick to lord Andor's superiority over the likes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, showrunner Tony Gilroy has admitted that the series which helped launch Disney+ in 2019 deserves much of the credit. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' which portrays a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans for the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction - The Death Star - setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. 'Andor' sets the clock back five years from the events of 'Rogue One' to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from a disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.
