Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has revealed that, while he enjoyed The Mandalorian, he never actually finished watching it.
"It was very disorienting for me to step outside my five year period. If I went backwards and looked at stuff, if I went forward and looked at stuff. I started watching Mandalorian in the beginning, but then I couldn't watch anymore, because, as cool as it was, I loved it, it made me – I lost my frequency," Gilroy told The Ringer-Verse podcast back in June, in quotes that have since resurfaced. "I didn't find it helpful to know what was gonna happen after so much… I definitely siloed my period off to make it work, as a defence mechanism I suppose, as much as anything."
