Overview
- Abrams Books released The Art of Star Wars: Andor on June 30, 2026, an authorized companion by Phil Szostak with a foreword by Tony Gilroy and an afterword by Dan Gilroy.
- The book publishes Jared Bush’s 2018 series bible that framed an early version of Andor as a mole-hunt centered on Cassian, a premise that was later replaced in development.
- Documents in the companion trace the show’s change in stewardship to Tony Gilroy and his decision to compress an original five-season plan into the shorter structure used for season two.
- Detailed production records and crew testimony explain how sets, props and visual-design work hid critical story elements on-screen and how Coruscant locations and ship designs were conceived.
- Exclusive previews and interior spreads have been circulated by outlets such as Gizmodo/io9, and the book’s publication gives fans and scholars new primary material to study the series’ creative and editorial choices.
