This likely goes beyond the remit of the edit - but after working through Andor S2 (twice!) followed by R1, aside from the clear tonal shift into an adventure movie etc - I’m struck by Andor clearly concluding in the late stages of S2E12, and the narrative building in R1.
I’d be really interested in seeing an edit that can smooth it out a bit. As the narrative for R1 is moments from the conclusion of S2E12, then perhaps that episode could do with being edited too? Content from it could be shifted into the R1 arc, and visa versa.
