The Star Wars TV series could have included the franchise’s first use of the word “f**k,” but in the end, the editors opted for a different, more crowd-friendly word instead.
Andor director Benjamin Caron said on the Reel Blend podcast (via GamesRadar) that the original idea for Maarva’s funeral included the character giving a speech from beyond the grave via hologram capped off by the words, “F**k the Empire!”
This was writer/showrunner Tony Gilroy’s idea, and it was even filmed, even though there was little chance of it making the final cut.
