Synopsis:

WHY MAKE THIS FAN EDIT? I made this edit solely to create an alternate viewing experience, and not as a criticism of the extremely well-made television show. WHO IS THIS CUT FOR? For those who already love the show but would also like a concise version that fits perfectly into a Star Wars movie marathon. For long-time Star Wars fans who appreciate the show (and wanted to love it) but found that the pace and secondary plots were not for them, making a rewatch of the entire series highly unlikely. For anyone who would simply love to see this story cut down to match the pace of classic Star Wars and other action/adventure films.


Intentions:

HOW WAS THIS CUT ACHIEVED? By focusing the narrative primarily on Cassian Andor and secondarily on Luthen Rael. All other characters come and go as needed to support that narrative. By not only reducing or cutting out other side-plots entirely, but also by tightening up all of the remaining scenes to convey the most necessary information and to keep the movie pace rolling, while still allowing it to breathe where it should. By reducing the number of conversations characters have about the same topic and allowing the viewer to see how things play out rather than needing the whole plan explained in advance.


Change List:

OTHER CHANGES Creation of an opening crawl that sets up the events of Cassian’s childhood on Kenari, two years before the start of the Clone Wars. Insertion of a classic Star Wars iris-wipe to close the film.


Additional Notes:

CONCLUSION There’s no telling if this same treatment will work with Season Two, but my hope is to create a trilogy with Rogue One as the final film. Even now, this cut works great with my Rogue One fan edit!


Special Thanks:

Special thanks to Eddie Dean and NFBisms for their work on Andor: The Movie Omnibus (Four Movies; Nothing Removed) for structural inspiration.
