I do like Sacrifice a lot, but for the project I was thinking something more descriptive than artistic, because I like people to know what they’re getting. I’d go with ‘Andor: The Movie Structure’ but I don’t want to disparage or compete with others who have already converted it into movies. Perhaps just ‘A Movie Series Restructure’, since that’s the most direct and honest. Or even something more unwieldy like ‘All Movies; Nothing Cut’. This project exists solely for people who think “Please don’t edit Andor, it’s perfect… I’d take it as movies though.”
That said, I’ll call movie four ‘Sacrifices’ for sure, for Luthen, Kreegyr, Vel and Cinta’s relationship, and Mon('s daughter). Plus Maarva’s death being the trigger.
What about movies one and two? For one I’d go ‘Fugitive’ but he’s not quite that. A few characters have something they desperately want in this one, but I can’t think of a word for that. There are also a few dissidents, or wrenches in the machine- people operating out of the normal bounds of what is required or expected. Plus the flashbacks to a tribal way of living interrupted by outside influence.
(‘Excession’ is a lovely not-quite word I could use here, borrowed lovingly from sci-fi author Iain M Banks, who uses it to mean both people exceeding their bounds/remit and a culture having to deal with an ‘Outside Context Problem’ of an external civilization they can’t possibly comprehend.)
Movie two is the Aldhani heist, Mon’s domestic troubles, and Dedra’s workplace conflict. But it’s also the triggering/inciting event- later called the “Announcement”.
I’m not intending to treat these names as something formal enough that it needs hardcoding visually into the movies themselves, just their labels really.
