‘Andor’: Composer Nicholas Britell Talks About Breaking ‘Star Wars’ Musical Rules & His Favorite ‘Star Wars’ Themes [The Rogue Ones Podcast]

‘The Rogue Ones: A Star Wars Andor Podcast’ returns with hosts Mike DeAngelo and The Playlist’s Editor-In-Chief, Rodrigo Perez. As with the previous episodes, each week, our hosts will recap and review the latest “Andor” episode and welcome cast members and creatives from the show to discuss all things “Andor” and all the intrigue and machination of the “Star Wars” galaxy.

In the fifth episode of The Rogue Ones, our hosts break down their thoughts on the "cagey" episode seven, entitled “Announcement,” which dropped on Disney+ this week. After the discussion, Composer Nicholas Britell (“Moonlight,” “Succession,” “Cruella”) joins the podcast to talk about joining the “Star Wars” universe for the first time and breaking the rules of the franchise instantly.

During the interview, Britell discussed the interesting challenges that “Andor” presented, which required him to start working on the project over two years ago. He spoke about his favorite 'Star Wars' musical pieces, potentially meeting 'Rogue One' halfway musically in season two and the three volumes of 'Andor soundtrack that will soon be released, the first one coming out this Friday, October 21.
