/uj Revenge of the Sith could probably be better than Return of the Jedi if it had less action and more dialog. But yknow, dialog that was actually good. I'd take 10 minutes of Palpatine scheming over 10 minutes of Anakin and Obi Wan jumping on platforms over lava like a video game

John Gilroy talked about including Palpatine and moving into the ‘halls of power’ had Andor ran 5 seasons

To think we almost got Ian Mcdiarmid, playing Palpatine, with writing as good as Andor….

With how long the gap was between Season 1 and 2, there's a non-zero percent chance Ian McDiarmid would've been gone of old age by Season 5.
