I’ve been on Andor for five years now; we’re finishing the second half. I’ve had a lot of fun over the years, but I don’t know whether I’ve ever done anything as important as these 24 hours of storytelling that we’re doing now.
This bold statement underscores the unique positionAndorholds within theStar Warsuniverse.

Tony Gilroy declaresRogue One’sTarkin CGI technology obsolete
The groundbreaking CGI technology used to resurrect Grand Moff Tarkin inRogue One: A Star Wars Storyhas been rendered obsolete, per co-writer Tony Gilroy.
Gilroy revealed that the complex methods used to digitally replicate the late Peter Cushing’s likeness are no longer relevant in the face of advancements in machine learning. Healluded,
What’s interesting is, all of the technology that went into Tarkin, that was like a Manhattan Project. All of that technology has been discarded. The moment machine-learning came in, they don’t do it that way at all [now]. It was like building steam-cars and building the best steam-car you could possibly ever do – then someone comes along and says, “We have gasoline that works a little bit better.” Now it’s completely upended.
This revelation comes amidst ongoing legal battles surrounding the use of Cushing’s image in the film. While the technology itself may be outdated, the controversy surrounding its use serves as a reminder of the ethical complexities of utilizing deceased actors in modern filmmaking.
Andoris available to watch on Disney+.
