“Andor” series showrunner Tony Gilroy said Thursday he doesn’t think his “Star Wars” series is “left.”
Interview with the New York Times Columnist Ross Douthat In his podcast “An Interesting Era,” Gilroy denied writing a show representing the left-wing revolution against fascist authoritarians.
“I don’t think of it that way. It never was. I mean, I never would. I don’t.
“Star Wars” actor John Boyega says the series was “very white” in a new documentary.

The second season of The highly praised series She made her debut at Disney+ in April. It follows the adventures of Kassian Ander, a key player in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. He was the main character in the 2016 hit film “Rogue One.”
The show, which lasted two seasons, offers a dark and realistic portrayal of how individuals together ban the creeping authoritarian governments that use deception, censorship and violence to solidify their own powers.
In an interview, Douthat said he considers Gilroy’s portrayal of the rebellion against the Empire in the series to be clearly left-wing.
While he introduced his guests, “The Star Wars Serial Under” managed to somehow bring out originality amidst familiar franchise constraints, pleasant obsessions and critics’ constraints. Part of that originality is that it is explicitly political and has a left-wing perspective in my mind and in my heart, in my mind, in the world.”

Gilroy admitted the film was political in that it was inspired by his charm. A revolution in world history.
“The canvas on offer is a very abundant opportunity to just use all the non-fiction and all the history and all the amateur readings I’ve done over the last 40 years, and everything that fascinated me was not only never going to be another chance, but I really wondered if someone else had a chance again,” he said.
Elsewhere, he told Douthat that he was particularly inspired by the dictatorship throughout history, such as the regime of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
“I want to pay a lot of attention to the authoritarian aspects of this, those who throw a lot of it at the empire, and those who get burned by it,” he said.
However, the showrunner denied that he intended to portray the empire as a right-wing authoritarian government being reverted by left-wing freedom fighters.

“But it’s a story, but it’s a political story about a revolutionary –” the conservative columnist protested.
Gilroy said, “Do you identify with the Empire? Do you identify with the Empire?”
“No, I don’t,” Douthat said. “But I don’t think you have to be the left to resist authoritarianism. I see the empire as you just explained: it is presented as a communist institution worthy of solidarity and such. It is fascist and authoritarianism, and you are meditating on what revolutionary politics look like in all its shadow.”
