'Andor' Creator Dismisses Feud With Dave Filoni

Tony Gilroy dismissed recent rumors of a falling-out with Dave Filoni, saying Filoni has publicly praised Andor and was largely hands-off with the series. Gilroy emphasized the cordial nature of their relationship: "We’ve only met a couple times, and we’ve only had a half-a-dozen conversations over the last ten years.

Seriously. I saw Jon Favreau at a scoring session once. We’ve always gotten along with those guys, and we’ve never had anything but high praise for everything that they’ve done." He added, "We only have our show because of them, and we’ve always said that was true.

There’s no Andor without The Mandalorian. It would not exist. So it has never been anything but cordial and pleasant, ever, ever, ever, ever. I don’t know anything that you don’t know. I really don’t." A prequel to 2016's Rogue One, Andor follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) as he moves from aimless thief to committed Rebel agent, recruited by Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and confronting the Empire's brutality along the way.
