David Kaylor is re-editing Rogue One into what he calls \u201cThe Andor Cut\u201d; the trailer<\/a> seems pretty compelling and well-done. He says this is Rogue One if it was produced after Andor:<\/p>\n

The original version is the events of Rogue One as seen through Jyn\u2019s perspective, and this is through Cassian\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The remixed Rogue One will be out on May 25, available in 4K with 5.1 surround sound. Kaylor has previously produced cuts of all three original trilogy Star Wars movies<\/a>, Star Wars: Episode III – The Siege of Mandalore & Revenge of the Sith<\/a> (a combo of the third prequel and part of the 7th season of Clone Wars), and Star Trek: Picard: The Last Generation<\/a> (a recut of Star Trek: Picard\u2019s 3rd season).<\/p>\n

This edit is not to be confused with Andor: The Rogue One Arc<\/a>, which recuts Rogue One into an Andor-like three-episode arc, leaning heavily on Andor\u2019s soundtrack to set the mood.<\/p>\n

This edit is kind of an expression of that with a movie I generally really liked – moving its energy from emulating the jaunty, swashbuckling OT, to more in line with its prequel show\u2019s feel.<\/p>\n

Up front, I don\u2019t actually think this elevates or changes Rogue One in any meaningful way. The movie is still the movie, still fast paced and action oriented, particularly compared to Andor\u2019s fiercer, slower, and paranoid ethos. But I do think the elements Andor is rooted in become far more apparent foregrounded to this soundtrack. Where the movie somewhat failed to recapture the energy and excitement of traditional Star Wars (and not for lack of Giacchino effort), the places where it takes itself seriously should now feel less dissonant in a [tonal] context that seriously considers them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve watched The Rogue One Arc and am looking forward to comparing it to The Andor Cut. And I\u2019ve been seriously contemplating yet another rewatch of the TV series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Kaylor is re-editing Rogue One into what he calls \u201cThe Andor Cut\u201d; the trailer seems pretty compelling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-430950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
