While this article about the interview emphasizes the fact that Disney didn't want Gilroy to use the word "fascism" in Andor, despite that being the political backdrop of the drama, I thought the discussion of the show's timeliness was more interesting. For example:
So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don’t think it’s prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
It goes on, and is worth reading.
