The thing about Rogue One as a movie that even though I do love it, it's a bit in a unique spot. It's from the era when they made Star Wars spinoff movies, which then shifted into making shows instead. It basically has a movie-unique cast, but a tragic ending, but also leads directly up to episode 4 without being structured like part of a trilogy/series.

I've viewed its role as "prequel to episode 4/original trilogy" or potentially "bridge between prequels and original trilogy" but tbh it leans so much towards the original trilogy and has less to do with the prequels that I most often see it as "prequel to ep 4".

But I feel like, after Andor S1 and the announcement of Andor S2 being the last season + leading up to Rogue One; Now Rogue One as part of the star wars franchise has a completely new and clearer role

I feel like tonally it's going to function as a bridge between Andor and The original trilogy, showing where the fight against the empire will end up and lead into. But it will also be a finale of Andor, in a way.

Like Andor so far have been a story of the many faces of the rebellion, but with Cassian as a focus and his arc as a thread throughout. We have watched him at several occasions team up with a new group of characters to accomplish some type of heist/mission (Aldhani and Narkina-5 both kinda fit this).

So when looking at Rogue One through that same lens, it fits so well? Like the movie's use of instantly iconic characters that you only get to know for a short while, that you only get to know through the rebellion and this mission, feels even more like a consistent narrative choice instead of some flaw when seen in the greater context of what Andor is doing. The way we unfairly lose them to the battle against the empire in a way that feels that even feel unfair to us as an audience. Jyn being a mirror to Cassian becomes even clearer, and him inspiring her to rebel and lead (as he did with Kino) becomes even more of a solid characterization.

A good prequel is supposed to make the original thing even better, and Rogue One was that to A New Hope imo. But now, Andor has even become that to Rogue One.

Something about taking a walk in the sun and then coming home to make a big breakfast with the windows open that makes a bitch want to quit her job on the spot

hello!!!! i just got into gankutsuou like february of 2022 and im obsessed hi glad to see you posting again

Hello!!! That is very exciting, I love to see people getting into Gankutsuou this much later from when it originally came out. It just has that charm about it, ya know?

Also, me 'posting again' is relative. I posted once in the past like 2 years??? And now this ask of yours is going to make it twice woah. But nonetheless, it is very kind of you to drop by and leave me an ask :) Basically what I'm trying to say is don't count on me updating again anytime soon. But then again... Maybe I will. Every now and then maybe??? I don't know! Bide your time and hold out hope lol only time will tell.

There was a cottage industry of local (largely unknown) podcasters who just talked about stuff in Portland Oregon 10-12 years ago, in partial response to a big broadcasting takeover that left a lot of them out of a job, and i'm pretty sure that not only are all of them long over, most of them don't even exist on the internet anymore

I'm probably the only person my age who cares and i doubt anybody younger actually knows it even happened
