Yes it would've been.
But I didn't want to upset the fanbois so I was gonna let someone else say it first.
And that's the biggest disappointment with the sequels. There are WAY better stories to tell than the Rogue One story. And any one of them told with the kind of dedication and care that Andor/Rogue one got would've blown away anything the OT had to offer.
It would have been -- SHOULD have been -- LOTR caliber epic. It shouldn't have been the standard by which the genre is judged, it should've simply redefined what the genre is.
Virtually unlimited resources, a goldmine of story idea, massive fan support and anticipation -- and by far the best effort they could manage was a lukewarm rehash of A New Hope.
It's just remarkable what a wasted opportunity that was. [Reply]

When the movie got to Scarif, it became the best "Star Wars" ever put on film or TV. Best quality ever. [Reply]

I think it's best to watch each of these three episode Andor arcs all at the same time. They effectively act as movies in themselves as part of the greater season. [Reply]

KCC has the right of it -- this season is a series of movies. It's going to work far better if you just watch them all at once as I think the first episode of every 'block' is going to have that sort of deliberate pacing that movies tend to have where they're doing character work and establishing the lay of things.
It's gonna be pretty unfair to view these episodes in a vacuum. But if you view it as the first 40 minutes of the movie, it makes a lot of sense. [Reply]
