Can one of you nerds explain the Imperial ranking system? It's obvious that red means military and blue means bureaucrat or intelligence, but how does one go about leveling up in both? Like did Krennic start out being a boots on the ground soldier before joining what amounts to CIA-Empire?

It would be interesting if someone combined the mature edginess of Andor with Jedi/Sith content instead of cheese dialogue and questionable plot lines. 

This is exactly what I was thinking when I posed the question. Can you imagine how much better the Anakin to Vader scenes could have been. Maybe we wouldn’t appreciate Andor as much as has been mentioned, but on some levels I feel like we got robbed of some really good storytelling.

The answer is: "it depends."

There is some consistency but I think in the end the final criteria is "whatever looks cool."

Are we finally going to see how many bothans died???

It was one person, and ROTJ got it wrong, he was an X-Wing fighter pilot named Manuel Bothans, who died at the Battle of Scarif.

As a big French Revolution fan, Ghorman was basically space Les Mis and I loved it so much. I can’t wait to rewatch

That’s the old Hispanic Star Wars joke.

There were 2 Mexicans in Star Wars.

Chewie and Manuel “Manny” Bothans.

You could practically see Paris in the architecture when Andor leaves Ghorman.

I know, and I loved it.  I was fanboying Ghorman.  Everything about them- the architecture, the culture, the language.

Ok, but you have to admit that, after the 900 hundredth song/chant/speech/declaration/reminder about how special it is to be a Ghor, Imperial propaganda pretty much wrote itself. Uppity bastards should be miserable like the rest of us.

This could've been really awesome but I think how K2SO was introduced with the others was for the best. Maybe give Dan Gilroy that Star Wars horror one shot.

Scaled back because of budget issues?

 

They spent gazillions building sets for the Ahdhani, Mon Mothma's house on Coruscent and mansion for the wedding, the entire Palmo plaza, senate building and other smaller spaces. The couldn't spare a few more million for CGI for a K2SO episode?

 

Actually, I'm sure they didn't build the set for some of the interiors (stairs, ramps, etc.) at the senate building. I wonder where they shot those.

The article talks about Iger coming back cut some of the budget and that ultimately it worked better for the story to have K2SO introduced on Ghorman as part of the massacre. Gilroy has mentioned before that while K2 is a fan favorite, he's not a fun narrative device because he's not easy to hide.

I think most of the Senate shots were the cultural building in Spain that also serves as the exterior shots. It's in the video Surly posted above.

How much fucking Kalkite do they need to coat the lenses? Seems like the amount to wreck a whole planet is a bit excessive. 

1. That's no moon. It's a space station.

2. They make it clear several times that mining sufficient amounts of the stuff will leave no Ghorman left for the Ghor.

and

3. This isn't just lens coating. This is to power the whole thing.

4. They need enough to build another one of these fuckers a few years later. 😉
