    Two blonde gfs being more relevant to his end state than huffing rhydo and throwing bombs with saw truly makes me think you’re right. Season 2 seems to have missed why people enjoyed the first one and replaced it with “palpatine, krennic, Death Star.” The curse of a gilroy’s deal with the mouse-devil

      I don’t think that is why thing turned out how they did. I think Gilroy wanted to use as much of his original 5 season plans but truncated. That inevitably runs into a problem, and thus the whole season feels thematically disjointed. I really wish they had re-written more and just chosen a throughline for the season. They could even do the time jumps, just don’t make each arc clearly feel like a piece of a different season with different ideas going on.

      Jup. There wasnt really a strong focus in each arc, sans the ghorman one, which is why it was the highest rated. Like if you only have so limited time left, why meander so much. Shouldnt saw and his intersection with wilmon be prioritized over the gfs? Like the first one is actually relevant to the themes of andor. Like he didnt need to be on yavin or ghorman (as an massassi cell rebel)
