This is my first time creating a topic rather than just replying to one, so please forgive me if this isn’t the right way to inquire about this. I read all the rules/guidelines/FAQs and I think this is kosher.
Anyway, what the topic title says… I’m fascinated by the idea of an Andor edit that revises Maarva’s closing self-eulogy line from “FIGHT the Empire” to “FUCK the Empire”, which is what was supposedly scripted & filmed.
Seems that AI speech software is becoming more commonly used for edits around here, so figured it might be doable for some enterprising soul? I’m sure Fiona Shaw (Maarva actress) has dropped an F-bomb or two in her other projects (Killing Eve, Fleabag, True Blood, etc). If that’s even how the software works?
QUICK EDIT:
Just adding that I totally respect folks who think an F-bomb is NOT in the spirit of Star Wars. However, I love the idea of it in this case because 1) Andor already feels to me like the edgiest/real-est/nastiest version of Star Wars we’ve gotten, so it fits, and 2) the speech is building > building > BUILDING to something huge. An F-bomb in that moment would’ve been TRULY shocking. On both a STORY-level and a META-level.
