The actor and EP discusses the narrative impact of his 'Star Wars' rebellion show on the eve of the SAG strike.

AndorI was very excited and proud and happy for all the team. It’s a beautiful thing. I celebrated all the nominations, and I am very pleased for those people. But obviously being there for best drama series means a lot because it’s about the team. The meaning of collaboration is defined by the way we work. This is a team that I really feel proud of being a part of. I see everyone working together in a way that you don’t see often. And I know it sounds like a cliché, but it’s not at all.

It’s huge. As you say, it’s a show that’s relevant. It’s a show that would’ve been relevant 10 and 20 and 30 years ago. And sadly, it might still be relevant in a few decades. But if you want to see it from the hopeful and the brighter side, it’s a show about the strength we have as a community. It’s a show about the power that we have when we think in numbers, when we believe we’re part of something bigger, when we find what connects us with others. And it’s a beautiful reminder of that.

Then I was given this opportunity to go back, but go back different. Not to do the same, but to do a project that could help me explore much deeper who this character is and play him in very different situations and scenarios and moments, to be able to have a longer, deeper transition. And I am very pleased that I went through this. I am very happy, and I’m ready to say goodbye and start thinking about something else. I mean, it’s been a long journey. I’ve been learning a lot.

And also, going back to your first question, producing made this very special. Because the way I was involved, the stuff I learned … I love producing, I love directing, I love witnessing the process of others. The journey ofhas been very helpful to get inspired and start thinking of other stuff I gladly still have time to do.

We live in a world that is polarized, where there doesn’t seem to be any agreement. People disagree. That is the scenario we see in social media. It gives me hope to see people uniting and understanding the strength again of numbers and fighting as one. That is really an important reminder today of what we as citizens of this world need to be doing, finding solutions and working together to bring them because they’re needed.
