" Are they go to get thinking that Kino Loy ’s some eldritch cousin of Snoke ? This is become to jumble the hell out of mass . " agree to Serkis , however , it was Tony Gilroy ’s script that completely sold him onAndor .
I make out that show . I have a go at it it because Tony Gilroy is such a brainiac author . It ’s all about the committal to writing .
I recollect him babble to me early on , and I was like , “ Am I run back into Star Wars universe ? the great unwashed were so confused with Snoke . Are they going to start thinking that Kino Loy ’s some weird cousin of Snoke ? This is going to put off the hell out of people ” But then I read the script , I went in and read the script and met with Tony and he said , “ Look , I want to make the Star Wars universe of discourse feel material . I want to write about themes that stand for something to me . I want to compose about fascism and mogul and the abuse of power , and I can do it in this arena and make it resonate , and it ’ll find existent and grounded . ”
" I was sold , and then I read the character and do it the quality , " Serkis break , citing Gilroy ’s own desire to " pen about fascism and exponent and the abuse of power " in a way that felt " real and ground , " even in theStar Warsgalaxy . Kino Loy , however , became more than just a character for Serkis , who took real - life intake from a family member . “I actually based him on a comrade - in - law of mine who was a quite strong union hombre who then lost his way,“Serkis shared . " Then , through meet Cassian , he finds himself again and leads them to freedom . "
I was sold , and then I read the character and loved the character reference . It was someone who , in a prior life , was probably a standup guy who stood up for other masses and for other workers ' right wing . I imagined that he was , and I in reality ground him on a sidekick - in - constabulary of mine who was a quite strong union guy who then lost his way . That was all to do with the fact that , psychologically , when there was a strike , he terminate up trying to keep open his own family and cross the scout line , and it did his head in .

So , I based Kino Loy on someone who lost his way and stopped care about other people in Holy Order to save himself . Then , through meeting Cassian , he see himself again and leads them to freedom . I always adjudicate and hook into something that feels real or touchable to make the character work .
