    Why would they need to alter it? Just cast a new actress to portray 16 year old Jyn. I mean Rogue One itself already portrayed her at three different ages so I don’t see the issue.

    EDIT: Also Jyn is 21 in Rogue One not 23.

    His point was that Jyn would have already been abandoned by Saw at the time of the show.

    But that was based on thinking she was 23 in RO. As she was 21, she could potentially still be with Saw at the start of Andor.

    You'll only see her feet as Saw pushes her into that bunker.

    Cameo of the year.

    I think the covert, sneakin' around stuff that Andor and crew are likely to get up to, rather than the stand-up fight, will lend to even more emphasis to the politics briefly shown in RO's rebellion briefing.

    Raddus' "let's fight", Saw's "save the dream" and Andor's "your father would be proud" (as well as lots of others lines he says) are going to make us feel the feels even more after seeing this show... :)

    I think he is just the kind of guy who lets his hair grow out until it is a problem, then shaves it off before letting it grow again, rather than trimming it regularly to keep it at a constant length.

    Saw has a range of hairpieces to indicate his current mood. Just watch out when he puts the Prince Harry hair, beard and tache combo on.

    It was cool seeing Whitaker as Saw at this point where he's still mostly sane and mostly organic. He's obviously touchy about working with other rebels but seems willing to cooperate under the right circumstances.

    This was interesting mention. Does this mean like some literal religion, human high culture movement or just xenophobia? Very interesting mention as were other political movements and persons.

    I wonder if Saw's partisan X-Wing squadron will participate in the forthcoming rebel operation? I hope so, you don't get many true aerial dogfights between TIEs and rebel fighters too often.

    His appearance in this week's episode was interesting. As someone on SB said, you can already see the fingers of madness clawing at the edges of his psyche, but he's as yet nowhere near as far gone as he will be by the time of Rogue One.

    Saw is one of the most tragic SW characters IMHO, particularly because of how we first saw him in TCW, as a competent and level-headed rebel. Knowing what he once was, to then bear witness to his slow descent into madness as years of fighting take its toll is just awful.

    He is far too paranoid to consistently visit Supercuts.

    With Saw Gerrera dropping all those names it was a missed opportunity to reference to familiar characters as well. It would be so cool if someone from The Clone Wars like Mar Tuuk would still be active separatist. He was never killed in the show, yet he never appeared again. There were rumours of neimoidians in Andor, but so far no sign. Maybe it was for second season or just false rumours then.

    Rogue One gave us some glorious space battles, but the new movies severely disappointed me with that otherwise. I was so livid when we got like 5000 star destroyers and 10 thousand civilian ships in TROS and effectively didn’t see any of the battle.

    so yeah, definitely due for a battle of Endor level space battle.
