Rewatched your V1 edits today. Just so grateful to you this exists. Rogue One is so problematic, Andor is so wonderful. This really lines them up so much better.

The music choices at the very closing of episodes 15 & 16 are SO good. Brittel’s themes are so evocative, heart-string-pulling & you laid them in perfectly.

I also want to back you on the post-credits thing. Vader’s hallway scene, while amazing, is now problematic. As the end of Andor’s story, I need to sit with his sacrifice for longer. Transitioning to bad-ass Vader directly after that moment is thematically jarring. Part of what makes Andor so special is that it’s in the world of Star Wars, but it’s a world AWAY from the Force, from the Skywalkers, etc… obviously we all still love those OT elements though… by splitting them apart with the credits, it really sells the transition from gritty-Andor-spy-story back to operatic-Skywalker-Force-monomyth. It’s just brilliant how you achieved that.

In terms of changes others have mentioned, these are the ones I’m most supportive of (I agree with you – too much editing would be beyond your original scope):

Integrate the Star Wars logo (droid/helmet thing) into the previously-on’s.
The Bor Gullet scene is silly AF, but watching your edit with a couple of Andor-newbies, they were both confused why Bodhi is suddenly out-of-it. Someone here mentioned the idea of keeping Saw’s iconic intro scene & when Saw says “Bor Gullet”, add subtitles that say “Torture him” (or “make him talk” etc) & only cut the actual Bor Gullet scene. I think it’s a pretty elegant fix.
More action/tension music throughout final Scarif battle.
Don’t touch that R2/3PO moment! Helps sell that this story is crashing (beautifully) into classic SW.
Agree with the shortened Krennic/Jyn confrontation.
Rebellion Suite cue (2:23) for Star Destroyer crash.
