I almost forgot to leave a review of this.

While the other Andor edits vastly improve an already good show, I feel this one was as close to perfection as you can get.

The editor effectively and smoothly cut out everything I felt that really dragged the show down. More specifically, this comprised of cutting out nearly all the petty family squabbles. From the removal of Cyril’s mother, Senator Mothma’s bickering with her daughter and husband, and the removal of the [forgot name] imperial officer acting aggressively towards his son on Aldhani - these were all necessary to have the show move at a faster pace and also treat these characters with more respect. The family feuds diminished their characters and felt out of place for a Star Wars show as opposed to a soap opera.

My favorite part of this edit was the climactic ending. Closing with the meteor shower followed by the exhange between Lutyens and Mothma about whether he went too far was a really nice touch.

I am looking forward to episode 2 whenever it is released.
