Andor (Disney+) • Page 60

be careful

 

I've genuinely never heard of the Pitt until right now lol

 

I watched Rogue One again after finishing this and it really enhanced the experience for me. I always liked the movie, but could also feel its flaws and sense the reconfiguration of scenes and story elements that got changed during production. I minded that less being able to view it now as a grand finale to Andor. I don’t even mind so much that the movie is centered around Jyn Erso because that feels so in step with this second season where whole episodes and arcs revolve around the other characters. Episodes ten through twelve were largely about Kleya, and Rogue One is the final arc that introduces another integral piece of the story tied directly to the Death Star. And yeah, can’t help but see all these “sisters” in Cassian’s life now right up to the very end; moments he never got to have with his own. His story with Kleya ends with him being the brother who convinces her that her life matters, and his story as Jyn’s brother ends with him basically telling her “dad would be proud of you.” Watching him accept his death is so much more emotionally resonant now.

The score in Rogue One does feel a little jarring coming off of Andor, but I think I’ll view it now as part of the baton passing to the next stage of the story with the Jedi in A New Hope.

 

It's so good
