It's much, much more collaborative than that. The role of a producer can be limited to managing the financial side of the production. Or they can be involved with coordinating the production itself. The director has the most say over what is shot, how it's edited, what the score should be like. A good producer can help make a film excellent, but if you have a bad director, or the "wrong" director, then nothing the pr…

You’re talking about something different. Certainly the director is the creative force. The sine qua non. . (Or.. cine qua non??) But in the context of this discussion, the producer is the one that coordinates and brings together the huge complexity of the project. That is their defined role. It is the director’s vision and decision-making, but the producer ensures the execution across hundreds of people and many dep…

The did use some Volume (it's mentioned in the article, but as "digital background" or some such), but there's a lot of painted backgrounds and practical sets.

I don't see it mentioned in the article? I saw an interview with Tony Gilroy where he said he didn't make use of it, but I can't recall if he was referring to Season 1 or both, so it might've been introduced in S2.

I took this passage, mentioning the "LED wall", to be a reference to the Volume (I think there might have been another reference as well):

Kirill: The show spends a lot of time at the apartment with Bix. How big was it?

Christophe: The nice thing about that set is that everything you see is captured in camera, including the view outside which was an LED wall. That wall allowed us to be more creative and find some extra shots. You have shots from the outside where you see the city below in reflection with raindrops on the window. You see cars passing and light coming in.

Ironically Andor is one of the closest to A New Hope narratively.

It ties in but isn't really part of the main storyline except incidentally. You could say the same thing about Rogue One though the tie-in is even stronger in that case. The Mandalorian is pretty separate other than baby yoda.

The main storyline looks negligible compared to the work Andor has done for it.

The first Star Wars movie is basically the story of the final part of the information's journey. It only gained depth with Andor and Rogue One.

First session really impressed me. After all Disney Star Wars casual garbage shows, this one get my attention. Creators finally do not consider audience as dumb consumers. Second season is great, but I still appreciate first more. S01E09 has one of the best space battles I ever saw in sci-fi. Ever.

Sorry, S01E11. This one: https://youtu.be/zJOoyrIbdHU
