ANDOR: A STAR WARS STORY

The 2.5 Hour Single Film Cut

WHY MAKE THIS FAN EDIT?

I made this edit solely to create an alternate viewing experience, and not as a criticism of the extremely well-made television show.

WHO IS THIS CUT FOR?

For those who already love the show but would also like a concise version that fits perfectly into a Star Wars movie marathon.

For long-time Star Wars fans who appreciate the show (and wanted to love it) but found that the pace and secondary plots were not for them, making a rewatch of the entire series highly unlikely.

For anyone who would simply love to see this story cut down to match the pace of classic Star Wars and other action/adventure films.

HOW WAS THIS CUT ACHIEVED?

By focusing the narrative primarily on Cassian Andor and secondarily on Luthen Rael. All other characters come and go as needed to support that narrative.

By not only reducing or cutting out other side-plots entirely, but also by tightening up all of the remaining scenes to convey the most necessary information and to keep the movie pace rolling, while still allowing it to breathe where it should.

By reducing the number of conversations characters have about the same topic and allowing the viewer to see how things play out rather than needing the whole plan explained in advance.

OTHER CHANGES

Creation of an opening crawl that sets up the events of Cassian’s childhood on Kenari, two years before the start of the Clone Wars.

Insertion of a classic Star Wars iris-wipe to close the film.

CONCLUSION

There’s no telling if this same treatment will work with Season Two, but my hope is to create a trilogy with Rogue One as the final film.

Even now, this cut works great with my Rogue One fan edit!

RUNTIME 2h:32m

PM me for more info.

Special thanks to Eddie Dean and NFBisms for their work on Andor: The Movie Omnibus (Four Movies; Nothing Removed) for structural inspiration.

I’d like to see this as well. I’ve seen Smudger’s two movie edit. It’s well done but even that is too long for me lol

Thanks!

Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to edit a 12x 1-hour episode series successfully into a 2.5-hour movie, but you did it!
In addition to this, your edits are extremely professional (opening crawl, prologue, closing credits, sound, colour grading). Your edit emphasises that Cassian is the main character. You need to work your magic on Solo - A Star Wars Story next!

Star Wars fan since 1977

If you manage to do a trilogy with this, season 2 and Rogue One; that will definitely become the Star Wars prequel trilogy for me.

This was a well crafted fast paced story. There were a few moments that I missed seeing in the show, but he does as intended and gives us a great movie cut.
Well worth watching!

I agree with it being fast paced. For the bank heist or whatever it’s called in the middle it was like Cassian gets put with some randos for a few minutes, gets a small briefing of the plan, flies the thing out of there and then you never see those people again lol

The edit is extremely well done though. I couldn’t notice any obvious cut points and everything flows pretty smoothly overall. The only minor note I have is how the one main guy (can’t remember his name) is talking to Saw and then all of the sudden he’s in his ship trying to get away from the empire tractor beam ship. I never finished the actual show and am not sure if that’s how it was originally, but that cut was a little jarring for me.
