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.”

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?"

I’d say its serious tone is more than that and is one of its few strengths tbh. It said “see what happens when scrappy heroes overstay their welcome?” It showed what actual guerrilla warfare against a superior force looks like.

If that's your bag and you haven't yet watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare yet, you should!

Never heard of this! Is it actually good or am I getting trolled lol

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!
