I feel like I don’t really need an R-rated Star Wars movie. Andor is pretty damn mature thematically, and what else would an R rating add? Violence and nudity? We already have a lot of decapitation and impaling, I feel it gets the point across.
Even TCW, you see ahsoka dealing with some exceptionally mature issues like the morality of war, trust and betrayal, corruption. grief, loss and PTSD… there’s more there.
Yes, it’s packaged as a kids show, but it goes pretty hard at times.
And Rebels hits even harder. It’s difficult to imagine what value being R-rated adds. It’s not like we can’t find twilek cosplay porn at the drop of a hat; and gratuitous violence simply for the gratuitous violence tends to ruin movies.
