Scripts for the TV series "Andor" by Tony Gilroy remained undisclosed due to Gilroy's insistence on refining them to perfection.
In an unexpected move, showrunner and creator Tony Gilroy, known for his work on the hit series "Andor", has decided not to release the scripts for the show. The decision comes as Gilroy prepares for the release of season two, set to hit Hulu and YouTube next month.
Gilroy, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, had initially mentioned that Lucasfilm would be releasing the scripts for season one to the public. However, he has since changed his mind, citing concerns about the rise of AI as the reason for his decision.
The scripts for "Andor", totalling 1,500 pages, would have been vulnerable to being absorbed by AI, a concern that did not exist in the same capacity in 2023 when Gilroy first mentioned the possibility of release.
Despite this, fans can still get a taste of Gilroy's writing by reading interviews available online, or by watching the first three episodes of the series, which are currently available for free.
"Andor", a popular show in the Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who universe, can also be found on io9's website, where release dates for the latest projects in these franchises are also available.
As Gilroy promotes season two of "Andor", it remains to be seen if he will change his stance on releasing the scripts in the future. For now, fans can look forward to the next installment of the series, and continue to enjoy the intricate storytelling that Gilroy has become known for.
