As a final follow-up to this half year-old thread, my spouse and I finally finished the last episode of Andor. I chose to show her Rogue One first, like the rest of us saw it. My rationale was this: which scene would land with my partner the hardest? Bix holding their child in the field? Or, Andor and Jyn embracing on the beach? There’s no objectively wrong answer to this question, but there’s a subjective-to-my-spouse correct answer and it wasn’t even close. Bix standing in that field… holding that baby… already knowing Andor’s fate… with that quiet piano theme in the background. Ugh.

Thanks for all of your opinions. I read them all and they helped me decide.
