Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Tony Gilroy, showrunner of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, has decided not to publish the show's scripts online despite having a complete 1,500-page collection ready. The decision is driven by fears that the material would be used as training data for artificial intelligence systems. Gilroy had previously announced plans for a free website featuring scripts and concept art, but now cites AI as the reason for abandoning the project.
