“What a thrill this season to think about what Dedra wears when she’s not dressed in her ISB uniform. That was a gift from Tony Gilroy. Denise and I really talked a lot about this. We get to see Dedra in her apartment. It’s so important to see that other side of her. She gets home. She’s probably super relieved to take off the armor of the ISB highly-tailored uniform. But, in a way, she just sort of changes into another version of that. The colors are the same. She slips into clothes that are more comfortable, but also in a structured and formal way. She keeps that rigidity even in her private life. She believes so much in her morality and ethics that I think she can’t ever let that slip. Her mentality is very black and white. I think she only wears ivory and black this whole season.” - Michael Wilkinson, Andor costume designer

Two of my favorite things about designing Andor was working with the industry leader in visual effects, Industrial Light & Magic, overseen by Mohen Leo, as well as the legendary Neal Scanlan, head of creature and droid effects for the series. Both of them are geniuses and all around nice guys. They helped us achieve a beautiful fusion of costume, visual effects, and creatures.
