Why Is This the Final Season?
By Design: Tony Gilroy pitched Andor as a two-season story from the start. Season 1 covers year 5 BBY; Season 2 covers years 4-1 BBY.
Complete Story: The show has a definitive ending: Rogue One. There's no need to extend beyond the planned narrative.
Quality Over Quantity: Rather than stretching the story, the creative team chose to tell it in 24 episodes across two seasons—ensuring every moment serves the narrative.
The Right Choice: Fans appreciate that Andor won't overstay its welcome. It will remain a complete, carefully crafted story.
