There's only a few scant clips and details about Andor S2 so far, but from the looks of things...

...the direction is still absolutely on point. Just look at the setup for this frame, dammit.

How you can see those characters relate to each other just with position, expressions and costume coding.

And, yes, wardrobe crew and location scouts are still on point as well.

"How you can see those characters relate to each other just with position, expressions and costume coding."   Not to mention lines. 

 

My two years of being an art minor in college long, long ago have mostly atrophied, but I still retain enough of my art composition training to realize this still could be used to teach the next generation of young artists.  Every line in this either points to the central two characters (even the "line" created by the storm troopers' helmets), or frames in the two characters by narrowing the broader space, much like rings on an archery target.  In this case it is the diagonal lines started by the support beam in the upper right corner, the single rafters' beam to the left of Mon Mothma, the light/dark divide on the floor, and the diagonals behind the troopers.   With a paining or a relief, I'd expect this kind of structure.  The artist, as Bob Ross used to say, has complete control of the composition, but I'm always amazed at the movie camera achieving it, as there are creations not made by the photographer, namely the building in this case.
