I’d definitely be down for that, Broom.
I’d definitely be down for that, Broom.
I’d certainly take a copy of that audio thanks guys!
That one’s not a trim I’d make, I’m afraid. I’m still pro-bridging-content in as many cases as possible. “All of Star Wars is better than any of Star Wars” remains my mantra - no one show, not even Andor, should trump the franchise continuity.
Yep, it’s all included. My s03e09 covers the first two Saw Gerrera episodes, and the s03e10 covers the second two.
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
I’ll check this.
Would love link to this !
Please check the site rules and original post for instructions on how to request it.
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.
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!
That’s essentially the plan, yeah. NFB said he could help on this one too- we’ll probably end up with a mashup of Hal’s plus NFB’s audio with a few tweaks.
- I might also release two additional versions of two of my movies, for age appropriateness in different directions. The first, for adults, would be the “fuck the empire” version of the last movie of season one. The second, for children and those for whom it would be a step too far, is a version of the first movie of season two which removes any references to the attempted assault on Bix. I don’t want to deny the horrors or reality of sexual assault or its genuine association with authoritarian regimes, but I can understand people not wanting to have to face that in their Star Wars and would like to give them the option.
I like the idea of a version that removes the SA related scenes, but not as a children’s edit, but as an edit that is accessible to people who might find such content to be distressing.
An actual “children’s” edit might be something that makes Andor flow in with Rebels more closely in tone and style, perhaps revoicing mon mothma’s speech to be that as seen in rebels.This latter idea might be, however something better suited for a different project.
Agreed in principle- Andor’s not ideal for kids either way. Definitely the primary audience would be adults wanting to avoid potentially uncomfortable content. That said, my daughter’s nine, and I reckon she could just about enjoy Andor, but I definitely wouldn’t want that scene in for her.
And yeah, changing Andor to suit kids completely is a far different project, and would probably cut a load, which isn’t really what I’m trying to achieve.
Agreed on trimming “little sister”, I thought that too. Baze and Chirrut were only lightly developed characters in what was an ensemble movie, but as a continuation of Andor they’re arguably even more minor, and the implication that this relationship has any meat to it is more distracting than cute.
I’d keep the Vader content though, Andor’s now transitioning towards the Original Trilogy so more Tarkin and Vader I think is important at this point for continuity flow.
I also wonder if it’s sacrilege or not to merge some of Andor and Rogue One? I think it would likely put people off, because it’d make this edit only compatible with itself, and I don’t think these would necessarily add value, but still, I’ll put it here for consideration.
I’m thinking around areas like:
…but I’m not super excited about any of these ideas, as I say, they’re just here to be considered.
I agree with those calling to reinstate the Andor/Tivik scene.
I’d also argue the following:
ildiem, I like your suggestions, thanks! Messenger is great. Genocide is… maybe too spoilery to be a title? Perhaps ‘Flashpoint’?
I think I’ll most likely call Rogue One simply “Andor - S03E01 - Rogue One”, and name the project “Rogue One: The Andor Movie Omnibus Finale”, for the clearest possible communication of wot it iz.
What an incredible series. I just watched the full second half, followed immediately by Rogue One. Excellent to the last.
The plan:
Yeah, Rings of Kafrene is essential bridging content now.
Cheers! For placement, I’d just put Empire/Underworld as per their chronology, Kenobi not too far after my show concludes, and yeah, the Coda around the time of Rebels, or at least after Kenobi.
Ooooh, I like both Compromise and Divergence…
Work on season two begins. Once again I’m working with NFBisms, who frankly is doing all the actual work so deserves all the credit here - really this season I’m his compiler and distributor.
We’re needing names for the first two arcs, so are open to suggestions. Ideally it’s a single word that’s nice and punchy. I was thinking ‘Connections’ for arc one (wedding, Syril family drama, Cass meeting rebels, Imperials seeking Ghorman, Ferrix folk on the grain planet), though that’s not super punchy. Perhaps Bindings?
Ah, apologies to both of you - I’ve now reached out via PM.
In general I try to discourage requests in this thread out of courtesy to other threads here which are in active development (and thus worthier discussion), but I was unaware of a new poster restriction. So fair enough! And besides, it’s Star Wars day! Enjoy.
Ahh, I see. I’m sure it’s fairly compatible- I’ve cut the one explicit reference I’m aware of, and removed things like Palpatine being Sidious.
But persoally I fall rather staunchly in the other camp- I feel like trying to dam the river of canon at any point is rather futile, and that instead we should just be placing rocks in the stream, improvements around which the shared canon can still freely flow.
And I don’t think there’s a human on Earth who doesn’t know that Anakin is Vader- and if they don’t, then Original Trilogy followed by everything chronologically remains a great introductory order.
Plus, Clone Wars kind of comes at this from the opposite of Adywan’s intention anyway- it does a lot to develop Anakin’s character towards what we know of Vader, arguably better than the prequel movies.
Either way, a fine suggestion, and one that I think this edit serves perfectly well.
What’s Adywan’s vision?
Please check the top of the original post in this thread for instructions on how to get this.
Via PM ☺️
Ooh! Certainly worth keeping an eye on.
