Acclaimed 'Andor' costume designer Michael Wilkinson dishes on the look of Star Wars and more (exclusive)

Jeff Spry is an award-winning screenwriter and veteran freelance journalist covering TV, movies, video games, books, and comics. His work has appeared at SYFY Wire, Inverse, Collider, Bleeding Cool and elsewhere. Jeff lives in beautiful Bend, Oregon amid the ponderosa pines, classic muscle cars, a crypt of collector horror comics, and two loyal English Setters.

"One of the great challenges and thrills of this job was to try and find that sweet spot with everything I did that was paying homage and respect, and doing the research of what is the canon and legacy of the 'Star Wars' costumes," he explains."There’ve been incredible costume designers working for 45 years now on their vision of the 'Star Wars' world. It was amazing to be able to offer my own take on that universe.

Wilkinson’s muse embraced not only the glamorous embassy costumes of Coruscant but also the grungy world of Aldhani's nomadic culture. The cold white-and-orange Narkina 5 prisoner outfits carried a certain simplicity and nostalgic feel harkening back to the sterility of sci-fi films like George Lucas'"THX-1138," and here Wilkinson admits to being a bit challenged at first.“I think I was a bit nervous, when I read the prison sequences, that they might feel a little boring and empty compared to the other episodes and worlds that we create.

One of the most striking costumes Wilkinson conceived for"Andor" was the denim blue Pre-Mor security outfit and cap, which offered a color palette seldom seen in any"Star Wars" movie.
