Overview

• The series secured 14 Emmy nominations—among the highest for any Star Wars show—and became the first Disney+ original to vie for Outstanding Drama Series.
• None of the show’s principal cast—Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård and Adria Arjona—received nods in any of the lead or supporting acting categories.
• Forest Whitaker and Alan Tudyk earned the only acting nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance, respectively.
• Critics and industry observers decried the absence of the series’ leads as among the year’s most glaring Emmy snubs.
• Tony Gilroy defended the overlooked performances as “epic long-term character studies” that he believes will be celebrated and analyzed for years to come.
