You could even argue RO's compromises make Andor worse. e.g. Disney demanding a relatable droid for marketing leading to having to shoehorn K2SO into the last few episodes of Andor.

This is a thought-provoking take. Most people say Andor makes Rogue One retrospectively better. Jamelle suggests (I think probably correctly) that any film should be evaluated on its own merits. But your suggestion is that Andor makes Rogue One retrospectively *worse*. Interesting!

You can sell a drill to a man but you can't sell to a mandrill.
