I don’t know where you’re going with this, but the way i’m seeing it:

Tony Gilroy calling Andor “the most important work I’ve ever done” isn’t a dig at other Star Wars shows or a signal that it’s merely a political stunt. It’s an admission of how deeply he invested in its storytelling—from the moral complexity of rebellion to the echoes of past (and some current) authoritarianism—and how that creative challenge has meant more to him personally and professionally than anything else he’s made. In short, he’s celebrating its narrative ambition and real historic resonance, not turning it into a gender-politics spectacle or a stage for some unknowns to shout out chants of their personal conflics and goals in life. It’s just a bunch of people collectively going in on one goal; a good fucking story.

Him and his team are literally re-telling WW2 Nazi Germany in space, but unlike George’s Star Wars it isn’t just on surface level - it’s digging deep, hence the emotional and historical resonance he must’ve felt writing it.
