Andor, the 2022 Disney+ series, presents a politically charged narrative that explores the sacrifices made in the fight against authoritarianism. It moves away from traditional Star Wars themes, concentrating on ordinary individuals like Cassian Andor, who become revolutionary leaders through circumstance and community. The show provides a comprehensive view of the empire's workings, including those aligned with it, like Syril Karn, and those who attempt change from within. Creator Tony Gilroy claims full creative freedom from Disney, portraying a narrative firmly rooted in political realities, inspired by figures like Leon Trotsky and cinematic works like The Battle of Algiers.
Andor wears its politics openly: The show is about the brutal sacrifices people make, or are forced to make, in resistance to authoritarianism.
Tony Gilroy, the show's creator, said that Disney afforded him freedom to tell the exact story that he wanted to tell.
