Luna also relishes getting a chance to complete the full arc of the story with characters first introduced in the film back in 2016. “You’re going to see why K-2 is so important in Rogue One,” Luna teases, “and how does he get to be such an important character for the Rebellion.”
Not only that, but the actor says that the final season of Andor will permanently change how people view the movie moving forward. “I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season 2, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. It’s going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it’ll be really cool.”
I hope it changes Rogue One because as it stands now, it’s garbage.
I’d agree with you, but then I’d be wrong
I won’t go so far as to say it’s garbage, but it’s by far the most overrated Star Wars movie or TV out there. It’s a nice enough sci-fi war movie, if one with poor pacing, very thin characterizations, and a “main character” who just sort of gets carried along by events. Still, you throw a coat of Star Wars paint on top and add enough fan service to start a brothel, and suddenly it’s all “DAE the best ever?!?!?!?”
I like the climactic space battle quite a bit, really.

Solo felt more like the original Star Wars movies than Rogue One to me. Rogue One felt like a generic pre-war/spy movie with sci-fi and a fictional setting than a star wars movie.
I mean technically the original Star Wars is just a generic heroes journey with sci-fi and a fiction setting.

Solo put the yeehaw back.
Star Wars was yeehaw in space.
Yeah the fact that it took a serious tone for some reason makes people revere it… Even though it does basically nothing with that serious tone other than say “hey guys remember that Star Wars exists?”

It’s actually really good and the true story is even wilder than the movie:

Two books on it:

Here’s where it gets wild… The missions covered in the film, in real life, had zero casualties. Obviously Guy Ritchie/Jerry Bruckheimer wouldn’t let that stand. :)
The other wild part… one of the British staff people involved in organizing all this was Ian Fleming.
Yes… THAT Ian Fleming!
