I love this. Great work, once again! A few stray (positive) observations:

-Recap seems perfect. Keeps a nice quick pace, while clearly highlighting what’s relevant (love the music you used).

-Totally dig the quiet, more ambient feeling of the music during the opening Iceland scene. Makes it feel more like an episode of Andor. Slow, methodical build vs. John Williams-esque frenzy.

-As detailed in the recap, now we already know the name Galen Erso, Saw Guererra, the exact nature of Krennic’s project. All this changes how we view the opening scene. It’s now less of an upfront “let the mystery wash over me…guess I’ll catch up later” feeling. Instead it’s more of an “okay, I’ve heard of these people/things, now I get to SEE them.” Very satisfying.

-I think when you combine the “I already know who these people are” with the emphasis on quiet/ambient music, it all feels much better paced (i.e. slower, more like Andor).

-The “Say you understand”, “I understand”, hugs, “I love you Stardust" moment just SLAYS me. Brittel’s themes there elevate the material SO DAMN MUCH.

This rocks.

EDIT: One note, I miss the Star Wars helmets logo between the Lucasfilm logo and the Andor title. I know lots of folks hate that logo, but I’d prefer to see it, if only because that’s how the 4Ks/blu-rays are presented. More consistent.
