‘Andor’ Composer Nicholas Britell Breaks Down His Score and Why He Incorporated Rustling Leaves
Writing new music for the “Star Wars” universe would be daunting for any composer, considering its iconic scores by the legendary John Williams.
Luckily for “Andor” composer Nicholas Britell, writer-producer Tony Gilroy and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy gave him “total freedom” to imagine a new, totally unique soundscape for the backstory of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), the rebel spy first encountered in the 2016 film “Rogue One.”
So, unlike “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the “Star Wars” series for which Williams wrote a new theme earlier this year, there isn’t a note of Williams music in “Andor,” which launched a 12-episode run last Wednesday on Disney+.
