I do think some stuff felt dragged out. Like Andor's time stranded on the planet and a ton of wedding scenes.

Could probably have been two episodes.

Did I invent when he took off that the moon with the pirates is Yavin 4, so wouldent they have to go back.

I'll take a slow run of Andor episodes over a fast paced series that features:
* cutesy aliens or people
* really inept bad guys who are supposed to be trained
* really stupid/out of character decisions by main protagonists
* Vespa speeders
* random spinning shots

That said…. Let's pick it up a notch!!

Somewhere after this is all over, there needs to be a documentary about the character of Mon Mothma.

Her character is in one scene in ROTJ in 1983, nobody says what her name is, and she talks for 40 seconds, and then she's done. (I watched the scene this morning). She's never in the movie again.

Her character was prominent in the EU books and comics, becoming "Chief of State of the New Republic" for a long time in the post-ROTJ history that no longer exists. In the EU - she was leader of the New Republic for 12 years after Endor. She returned to the role briefly a few years later and died right before all the Vong stuff. She was in my second-favorite SW video game, Jedi Outcast as well as a few others of that era.

Then she was recast as Genevieve O'Reilly for Revenge of the Sith, but almost every shred of her existence is only in deleted scenes. That's 2005. But then in 2010, she shows up in the Clone Wars cartoons. Then she's in The Force Unleashed forming the Alliance with Bail Organa and Garm Bel Iblis.

Then back to real life in 2016 in Rogue One and you know the rest.

Assuming there is some actual in person exchange between her and Palpatine this year, which causes her to have to abandon everything she has on Coruscant and Chandrila, it really changes her lines in ROTJ - the idea that she knows when and where Palpatine will be, and has a shot to take him out, is pretty neat to consider.

I think I saw a reference in a previous post but in Rebels do they show her throwing down the gauntlet and publicly calling out the Empire? Isn't it some Galaxy wide holo-blast or am I misremembering?

The ability for the EU and later prequels/sequels/cartoons to take background characters and flesh out their stories like a bunch of fan fiction is pretty incredible.

Is Bel Iblis in the OT or was he just a Zahn creation that got used in Rebels?

I've got to ask...anyone else feel like the attempted rape of Bix went too far for a star wars show?
