I agree on the Andor to Rogue One transition, but also don’t forget that Rogue One was insultingly cut down and tweaked and edited. The tonal shifts are probably a result of this. It was still in Disney’s “Original Trilogy fanservice galore”, which, to be fair, only calmed down now during Andor - and hopefully continues. Gilroy and Edwards should go straight back to the editing room and re-release a Director’s Cut with Andor in mind.
Rogue One should be re-cut to remove all of Vader - except perhaps him staring out on the destruction of Scariff, and calm down Jyn’s rushed arc in act 2 to balance it better off with Andor’s story still going on. He takes the backseat in RO in certain portions - and the main problem with Rogue One was the lack of emotional connection to its two leads. Now that one is fixed, don’t sacrifice him for the lesser character.
Now, give us a Anakin and Obi-Wan Clone Wars live-action series with Andor’s writers (I haven’t even seen Clone Wars, but I love the concept) - and let’s delve into Asajj, Dooku (recast or deepfake), young Ahsoka (i have no interest for “current Ahsoka”, the performance and characters are sleep inducing) and some of the clones and Republic Troopers. I know, i know: “it’s all there in the animated series”. I don’t care! It’s live action for me, babe.
We also need a full-scale 5-minute recreation of Anakin’s slaughter on the Tuskens as a recurring nightmare he’s trying to suppress. I always hated how it only gets 4 seconds in AotC, but we’re supposed to feel the full extent of it.
“But Anjohan, that’s kind of brutal for a kid’s show!”
- Anakin is burned to a crisp in RotS, kids scroll through creepy videos on tiktok from the age of 8, the world has gone mad and I want me some more psychological Star Wars. This is a no biggie.
