We’re throwing our own “Niamos!” dance party to celebrate Andor’s five total wins at the 2025 Emmy® Awards!
On Sunday, the critically-acclaimed Star Wars series created by Tony Gilroy brought home the award for outstanding writing by Dan Gilroy on episode 9, “Welcome to the Rebellion.” The episode features a fiery speech by Senator Mon Mothma, played by Genevieve O’Reilly, during a pivotal moment for the creation of the Rebel Alliance in open opposition to the Empire.
“Obviously, we have friends everywhere,” Dan Gilroy said during his acceptance speech, referencing a popular catch phrase from the series used by rebel operatives. Among others, he thanked the fans "who did more than watch the show. They listened. They cared. And they made a story about ordinary people fighting impossible odds possible."
Last weekend, the Star Wars series took home four wins at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, including trophies for the outstanding costumes that brought the Chandrilan wedding to life and the masterful production design and visual effects that made the world of Ghorman a reality. The Lucasfilm documentary Music By John Williams also won for outstanding sound editing.
