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.
