ANDOR: The Rogue One Arc (Rogue One Rescore) [AVAILABLE] — Page 6

In regards to whether or not the Darth Vader hallway scene should be at the end of the movie or an ‘end credits’ scene, we must first remind ourselves that Star Wars has NEVER had an end credit scene, at least from what I can remember. But I do agree that it doesn’t make sense to have it immediately after the closing shot of Cassian and Jyn. A compromise I think would be good is to instead have a ‘mid-credit’ scene, so you show only some of the credits, then show the hallway scene, then have the remainder of the credits. Some people might not know the scene will be in there otherwise.

Also, as someone else mentioned, I DO like the conversation between Krennic and Vader, but ONLY if the dub is used where they fixed Vader’s voice to sound like he did in ANH.

You have done great work!

Andor itself has an end credit scene, the Death Star being built scene in season one.

My notes after an Andor rewatch followed by this:

  • Excellent. The rescoring goes a long way, as does some trims to the fan service.
  • The score changes in S2 have made the edit stand out a little now, so an update sounds great in this regard.
  • Maybe retitle ‘Jedha’ in light of the S2 finale’s title.
  • As previously mentioned, I’d try moving the Erso family flashback to the episode 2 opening.
  • I’m pro Bor Gullet. Bit of flavour for crazy old Saw.
  • Bail’s first appearance is weird and as he contributes nothing it might be better just to cut the few shots of him.
  • I’d be tempted to cut the action on Jedha down further. K2 shows up just to contribute to the fight, and then returns to the ship again just in time for the plot to return. You could possibly cut him entirely and streamline the rioting.
  • “It’s a first for me” could easily be a lie but it’s still a bit distracting.
  • Cutting the Krennic/Vader scene is the right call.
  • Not sure it makes sense that 3PO and R2 are on the ground for that cameo but it is not as obnoxious as it used to be.
  • Jyn’s inspirational speach to the troops on Scarif still rings hollow considering her position. I’d cut it down further so she shares quote about Saw and then jumps straight to the exposition.
  • The Vader massacre works well as a post credit and I wouldn’t move it.

Really great work though. It makes Rogue One a much better watch for me. I never realised how much I disliked the score to that film until I looked into this edit.
