Tony Gilroy: “…[Kino Loy] and the rest of the show in many ways are political, but for me the [prison] sequence was always theological. That was always religious. And there’s nothing else religious in the show really. It was the idea of a guy who had faith. [1/3] #Andor
“His god is that number in his box…so the prison is populated by true believers and others like Melshi, who is an atheist. He doesn’t believe. These two populations, in addition to others who are agnostic and trying to figure it out.” [2/4]
“But for me, that was always about faith and to watch somebody, overnight, lose their faith. There is no god, the numbers in their boxes are a lie. Andy got with this idea right from the beginning that Kino Loy’s whole identity is tied to that faith.” [3/4]
