Haha yeah. I love how this cut scene drives home a point that is a bit more subtle in the actual film- that the Empire is extremely overextended and unstable right from the jump. Like this guy in the first half hour of the movie is like wait what you ended the Senate were fucking cooked. It makes a lot of the rest of the OT make more sense
Yeah, I don’t think I picked up on that overextended subtext until far later… maybe ROTJ when the Emperor shows up to the Death Star II. I recall there being a lot of “this shit is behind schedule” vibes.
Also, I’m not super clear on things, but I assume that most of these generals are Navy guys from the Clone Wars? I assume that after the Empire is declared, they sweep the CIS quickly without Palps, Dooku, or Grevious. Even still, there’s like ~15 years between Rise of the Sith and Andor so are all the ships just doing fashwave for a decade and a half?
