Between movies, novels, animations, video games, comic books and streaming TV shows, the Star Wars universe has been expanding ever since the original George Lucas film hit theaters in 1977. But Tony Gilroy, the showrunner for the Disney+ series Andor, thinks there’s room in the galaxy for even more.

“I always fantasized that the show would break new ground, that someone would be able to make a three-camera sitcom in Star Wars or a horror movie,” Gilroy said in an interview with SFX Magazine, via Movieweb. And why stop there? “I think the first thing I said to Kathy when she said they wanted to open a line, was, ‘Could you do a courtroom drama?’ And why not?
