At risk of being hated on. Unfortunately I HATE Andor, to me it seemed like the most crap non Star Wars piece of media I’ve ever seen. And everyone seems to love it because of that reason!! I’ve seen the word “perfect” being thrown around a lot when people talk about Andor Which baffles me but, I’m really looking forward to seeing this edit!! Since reading the changes makes it seem like it’s more “Star Warsy” which I love; because I feel like that’s what Andor was missing.

It’s certainly different. It focuses more on characters and plot with less of the fantasy element, and is a slower-paced as a result.

There are no Jedi or Sith and just a couple of small dogfights in space, so it lacks the features that many associate with Star Wars. However, it does a fantastic job of showing the power of the Empire. You really feel the oppression in the series and that makes payoffs like the prison break and the Ferrix riot even sweeter.

What I’ve done in these edits is keep the core stories intact and simply trim the fat and speed up the pacing.

See I don’t mind the show not featuring Sith or Jedi, I love that they didn’t do it this time. I know it’s not going to happen but, for season 2 I reaaaaaaaly want David Oyelowo to reprise his role as Agent Kallus

I can’t see that happening either. I don’t think we’ll see any Rebels Easter eggs. They’re going all out to have the series run seamlessly into Rogue One. I really hope we get Krennic and Dedra facing off against each other. Big question for me is how much of the Death Star plot do we get, CGI Tarkin?

Finished watching both episodes last week, absolutely loved them! You did an amazing job on these, do you think you will do something with the next season coming? 😃

Thanks very much. I will definitely be doing similar with season 2. Hopefully 2 movie edits, but the 3-arc structure with time jumps may be a challenge.

Hey Smudger,

I’m quite intrigued by the condensing of Andor. I’ve had problems with it since the start and had to take a break after episode 6. I’ve read through all your changes and it seems like the best way to consume this television show. May I have links to episodes 1 and 2; and your Mandalorian edits?

Once I’ve finished both episodes, I’ll tell you what I thought about them.

Hey Smudger, I need some time to put together my thoughts on your fanedits but as a quick overview; I was quite impressed with both episodes. The first episode thankfully cut down on a lot of wasted time, ruined surprises and wanky non-star wars characters and writing. When it came to the second, I had not seen the original version but after watching it and then reading through your list of changes, additions and alterations; I agreed with 99% of the editing. Now I am trying to work out if I should watch season 2 as it is or wait for your version, as your edits were superior for season 1.
