I heard Jack Black and Lizzo will be in season 2

Like as roadkill when a speeder blasts over them?

Somehow Reva will return and become the key to everything.

How is that Leia chase clip somehow even worse than I remember it?

I used to make Super-8 movies like that when I was just a little older than her. This is Disney.

I mean it's not like that nearly foot thick branch is in any way camouflaged or NOT taking up that character's entire field of vision prior to them deliberately running into it. I guess the Vespa chase really is the "good old days" at this point, lol.

Totally disagree.

Movies are a dead medium to most folks, if the first film does well it's always diminishing returns from that point.

Contrary to what you read here, Andor was just not popular enough with a mass audience to justify films.

There have been some very successful films oven this year, cinema is not dead, folk just didn't care for many movies.

Andor's production costs are paid. They already have their streaming subscriber money. The cost to edit and release the show (and other shows) theatrically is minimal. The cost per minute of the shows is lower than most movies. Releasing them theatrically is basically extra free money. Even if each movie only makes 300 million at box office and half that pays for distribution etc, that is still 100-150 million profit per arc so 300-450 million per season of Andor extra revenue. Add to that tie in merch, additional streaming revenue for the movie cuts and eventually physical media sales of blurays and that number climbs.

Free money practically

Yup. Obi-Wan broke me more than anything SW before or since. Not saying BOBF or Crapolyte, etc are any better, but that one was the moment SW was truly dead to me. An embarrassment on so many levels.
