Jeez, even in here still no one gave more time to Bhodi Rook, whose defection was so essential to the plot of Rogue One? He formed a friendship with Galen Erso that was so strong that he died for it. I loved everything we got from Andor, but showing how one Imperial could turn on the Empire like that amid so many others who just went along with their horrors would've been satisfying--just that stuff didn't line up with Andor until Rogue One so I guess there was no place for it even if the show had run for five seasons.

Doesn't seem like Robb warging and dying again adds anything, nor do the Stark kids all being able to warg seem to matter either. I know the show is generally agreed to be inferior to the books, but some of the show's changes seem to be because Martin himself did not yet have it all worked out--and I'd guess that to this day he's still working on making it into a tighter narrative, hence the ongoing delays and his emphasizing how hard its been. He clearly didn't have everything planned out (or it grew outside of his original plans) and now suffers as he tries to live up to his own reputation.

Hmmm, well this way of thinking worked for them with Andor, but let's be fair that writers can and do approach things differently and fans respond differently too. I feel shows like Ahsoka and Acolyte were more about bringing characters from animation or other media into live action than about inventing as many new ones as Andor did--but that is valid too, it's not a wrong approach to be resisted out of hand. It's still adding toys to the toybox, at least adding some that previously weren't compatible with the rest. There will always be fans who don't like whatever you do either, whether you hoped to please them or not. But then I also disagree fans shouldn't write this stuff either, so I'm willing to agree to disagree--but I'm glad they made shows and that I liked it either way. I'd like to know what the other pitch was that was "worse" too, was that the Andor and K2 have space adventures? Because I honestly think that is a show that would be fun to watch too and that *could* still be done though it will inevitably be compared unfavorably to Andor for being more light weight.

Sebastian Stan was my choice to play Mitchell back in 2009 when the JJ movie came out, but then they lazily used Khan instead. I also would've loved brining back TOS Klingons with Richard Armitage as Koloth, David Batista as Kor, and Wes Studi as Kang. Tthey could still do that on SNW, though I don't think they can get all those actors. I also doubt they want to bring in many characters they cannot unalive as they've made it clear they hate having to conform to canon (but won't STOP making prequels).
