Star Wars: Andorhas taken fans by storm and rightfully so, it is easily one of the best properties in the entire franchise. Part of what works so well is the amazing score byNicholas Britellthat takes us on a journey withDiego Luna’s Cassian Andor. It has been such a joy to listen to how Britell has scored the show that it is no surprise that fans have been waiting for this to drop!
Right now,Andor: Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4)(Original Score)will give fans the score of the first four episodes of the hit Disney+ series, with a second volume titledAndor: Volume 2 (Original Score)on November 4 andAndor: Volume 3 (Original Score)dropping on December 2.
Britell said of the release:
“I feel incredibly grateful to Tony Gilroy and Lucasfilm for giving me this opportunity and entrusting me with creating the score for “Andor.” Working with Tony on this epic series has been profoundly inspiring. Having grown up as a huge fan of theStar Warsgalaxy, it’s been a thrilling and actually quite emotional experience to become a part of this universe. I’ve tried to create a musical landscape that feels authentic and integral to the story. Tony and I explored every nuance - from crafting the on-camera music, to creating the ever-evolving score, to imagining each episode’s unique variations on the theme. I am truly excited to be releasing this Volume 1 of the original music to “Andor,” representing the soundtrack from Episodes 1 thru 4. More to come!”

And creatorTony Gilroyhad nothing but praise for the score, saying:
“How lucky am I? I had Nicholas Britell score my show. The best part? We needed seven hours of music and Nick lives in my neighborhood, so for the past two years, I’ve been biking to the studio and pretending to work when what I’ve really been doing is recharging my soul. Does it lessen the achievement if I say how much fun we had doing it? Or how humbled we were by the enormity? Or how much we learned? I hope not, cause we’re gonna have to try it all over again next year.”
