Rogue One and Andor are my only things I’ve enjoyed recently, and even then from what I’ve read/seen they constantly had to fight her to make the story they wanted to make. (And turns out they were the best ones)
“When we started challenging Kathy, Kathy just kept saying yes,” Gilroy recalled. “‘Oh, I’m going to put the first scene in a brothel.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘I’m going to have them kill two cops.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘We want the production designer from Chernobyl.‘ ‘Okay, good idea.’ She backed our play and got everything that we were doing.”
And she was the one that wanted Tony Gilroy to do it in the first place, he didn’t go to her with the show idea, she went to him.
Everything I’ve read has suggested the exact opposite, like this bit from an interview with Tony Gilroy.
