As a 25 y/o who loved Andor and decided to give other star wars media a chance, this was SUPERB and I thank you for it. As I’ve told my friends this cut is on par with the prequel trilogy and they should try it too if they liked the prequels. I powered through the original show for 3 seasons and when I reached the Citadel and Hunted arc I was sure it was gonna remain peak afterwards. Alas, I was so disappointed because of abundance of useless, less mature bits. Then I found your version (via reddit) and it helped me get through the rest of the show ❤️
here are the few notes for what I can remember:
-As for the Retribution episode: So brilliant of you to mix contents of season 1 with season 4. It fits so well!
-Dessent on Umbara episode: That scene with Krell getting stunned was one of the very few moments one could tell this was not the original cut. It could’ve had a more smooth transition to getting stunned scene.
-As mentioned above the Citadel arc is one of my favorite arcs and as originaltrilogy/Rogue One/Andor fan I got so excited for Tarkin’s first appearance in the prequels era and the events of the episode suit his personality so well and is also a better introduction for his character instead of The Forsaken. So it makes more sense to me to have it as the one of the main episodes instead of an extra one.
-I think there’s possibly too much cut from the Cosmic Force episode. I had to ask around to fully understand the concept of force ghosts and that Qui gon learned it and he later on tought Yoda as well.
Thanks again for delivering this experience. MTFBWY!
