Why the Andor screenplay won’t be released

Gilroy also addressed the absence of an official screenplay release for Season 1, explaining that concerns over AI technology played a significant role in the decision:

"I wanted to do it. We put it together. It's really cool. I've seen it, I loved it. AI is the reason we're not. In the end, it would be 1,500 pages that came directly off this desk."

He elaborated further, saying  "It's just too much of an X-ray and too easily absorbed. Why help the f*ing robots any more than you can? So, it was an ego thing. It was vanity that makes you want to do it, and the downside is real. So, vanity loses."
