Thanks Smudger9 for being cool about the title!
I WAS HOPING FOR 3 HOUR EDIT. I AM REALLY STRUGGLING TO GET THIS UNDER 4 HOURS… ARE WE OK FOR A 4 HOUR FILM?
ANDOR: The Spark of the Rebellion
A Fan Edit by APB123
Runtime: currently 4 hours.
Details about my Edit:
A reimagined retelling of Andor Season One.
My edit condenses the acclaimed series into a tightly-paced, under-three-hour feature film — but this is far more than just a shortened version of the show. The Spark of the Rebellion presents a bold new outlook on the Andor story, restructuring key events to create a different emotional and narrative journey.
Opening with the gripping Narkina 5 prison break, the edit wastes no time diving into the fire. Cassian Andor escapes Imperial captivity and kills two guards while on the run—cementing his transformation into a man with nothing left to lose.
Andor returns to Ferrix, where his identity is revealed. As the Empire moves in, he narrowly escapes the Security Bureau’s grasp and joins the Aldhani operation. Andor realises that credits will allow him to disappear once and for all and in doing so, pulling off a high-stakes heist will shake the foundations of Imperial control.
But rebellion comes at a price. The death of his mother pulls Andor back to Ferrix once more—into the heart of a trap laid by the ISB and shadowed by the ever-watchful Luthen Rael. With the eyes of the Empire upon him and sparks of rebellion beginning to burn, Andor must decide who he truly is and what he’s willing to fight for.
My edit reframes Andor with a sharper, cinematic arc—emphasising momentum, tension, and Cassian’s journey from survivor to revolutionary.
I think it’s ideal for both newcomers and die-hard fans looking to experience a powerful new version of the story that ignited the spark.
OPENING CRAWL:
"The galaxy is on the brink of chaos.
Worlds are feeling the weight of Imperial control,
as most submit to the ongoing oppression.
As the iron grip of the EMPIRE tightens,
whispers of defiance echo across the stars.
Cassian ANDOR, a drifter and survivor,
has been imprisoned without trial.
But behind bars, a fire is lit.
His escape will set into motion a chain
of events that could change the fate of the galaxy.
Hunted by the Empire and watched by rebels in the shadows,
Andor is drawn into a dangerous plot — one that
will force him to choose between survival and sacrifice.
In the shadow of tyranny, a rebellion begins to rise…"

-
Flashbacks to Andor’s childhood on Kenari are interwoven with the prison escape, creating a deeper emotional backdrop and tying his past to his present transformation.

After the prison break, Andor kills two guards while on the run, reinforcing the darker edge of his survival instinct.
-
Return to Ferrix, where his identity is exposed and the Empire begins closing in.
-
Maarva Andor’s death occurs directly after the Aldhani mission, creating an emotional low point and triggering Cassian’s return.
-
Final act takes place in Ferrix, where Cassian is now being pursued by the ISB, Luthen Rael, and Imperial forces, all converging as tensions explode.
-
Re-structured story arc for a more cinematic three-act structure, enhancing momentum and character development.

Not simply a condensed version — this is a bold reimagining of the Andor story with a new emotional and thematic rhythm.
