A major character death in Andor season 2 was almost very different, as showrunner Tony Gilroy reveals he had to fight to keep a big element of it.

Andor' creator Tony Gilroy explains that surprise ending and final shot: 'As long as it's not cheesy and not some corny thing, it felt like it was really earned and legit.'

During an in-depth Hollywood Reporter interview about the final three episodes, Gilroy was asked about why Andy Serkis ‘ fan favorite character Kino Loy — who helped lead the Narkina 5 Imperial prison rebellion — and why Cassian Andor’s ( Diego Luna) missing sister Kerri never showed up.
