Andor: The Movie Omnibus (Nothing Cut!) [Season Two in progress with NFBisms] — Page 7

As good a name as Andor: The Movie Omnibus is, it just occurred to me that with Rogue One, there will be nine films in this series. Why not “The Andor Saga” as kind of a parallel to the Skywalker Saga? One can imagine a universe of nine-film Star Wars sagas focused on different characters.

As for how to deal with Rogue One, I’ve started watching NFBisms rescore project and I almost feel you could just recombine the parts into a single film and call it a day. His project really fits the Andor tone so well. I would be a like worried about moving Andor footage into Rogue One and vice versa, but if someone comes up with a mockup that works really well, I wouldn’t be opposed to it.

Big fan of Divergence for Movie 5 personally!

My suggestions:

6 - Assessment/Determination/Commitment (any one of these)
Cassian and Syril both assess/determine the value of the Ghorman front for their own respective organizations’ goals, Wilmon’s determination is tested by Saw, Davo Sculdun assessed his collection which requires Luthen and Kleya to infiltrate his party, testing Lonnie’s determination

7 - Genocide
Perhaps the most important single word uttered in the arc (or alternatively if that’s too on-the-nose, something like Collapse/Catastrophe/Undoing/Massacre)

8 - Messenger
The core of this arc is about Luthen’s message making its way to Yavin 4, but on top of that Kleya sends out a desperate message which Cassian responds to; Most importantly, Cassian completes his journey by the end of this arc, on his way to becoming the Messenger the Force Healer foresaw him to be.

9 - Stardust 😉

I named mine:
A Tapestry in Bits of Blue and Gold
Viva Le Resistance
Radio Silence
The Sisters of Mercy

I agree with someone else’s comment about how Rogue 1 opens, I moved all the flashbacky stuff to the beginning of my Andor Season 1 Episode One
Cassian flashbacks
Kleya Flashbacks
Krennic collects Galen Erso
S1E1 of Andor

I also feel the episode with Kleya in the hospital works much better without the multiple flashbacks, just her going Mission Impossible in one uninterrupted sequence.

The last shot of S2 is Bix and Baby, my cut of Rogue 1 is now starting with Jyn’s flashback dream leading to her waking up in a prison cell.

Season two is now in progress.

The first movie is rendering now, coming out at 02h11m22s. That’s episodes S02E01-S02E03, with some sensible reordering designed and executed by NFBisms at the transition points. He’s slid the scene of Cassian in space backwards by a few scenes - so now it’s not immediately following him flying to space, and also not working as an episode opener (cool but now unnecessary), giving us more time away from Andor after he does leave Yavin, and also now backing directly into his radio call with Kleya. It works better than the original this way.

I’ll get that uploaded ASAP - would anyone like a “preview” of it? (I’m pretty certain this will also be the final version of this movie.)

Onwards to movie six, from episodes S02E04-S02E06!

First movie is fully uploaded, and movie two just finished rendering.

The second movie, from episodes S02E04-S02E06 runs to 02h23m41s. Like the previous one I’m calling this a draft version but I don’t think there’s anything to fix.

This one doesn’t have any rearranging - NFB found elegant ways to smooth out the audio over the gaps. The only slight negative about this edit is you lose the instance of the radio noise over the Andor logo in episode S02E05 that carries the audience through into the episode - but it’s no great loss at all.

Just Watched the first movie of season 2. it flows brilliantly. I don’t think anything needs to changed. Though i did notice something strange. When the rebels are crawling through the jungle at around the 52 min mark a tie fighter engine can now be heard. this was not in the original version and seems like a strange addition. The Empire would not be patrolling yavin
