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.'

My god, there’s the thing you’ve been chasing all this time and it doesn’t even know who you are!” Gilroy said.
