Andor Could have Gotten a Standalone Horror Episode about the Creation of K-2SO
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Tony Gilroy reveals that Dan Gilroy had written a standalone episode that was supposed to be 'like a horror movie' that would have dealt with the rebels reprogramming K-2. Gilroy explained:
'It was the K2 story… They had to bring this huge ugly tanker ship to Yavin, and there was a KX unit that was trapped inside there hunting. It was sort of like a monster movie with K2 on it. It was really cool.'
As for why the story was cut, it was revealed that they didn't have the budget for it. Originally it was planned for Episode 09, but since they couldn't do it, they just pushed forward with Mon Mothma's speech which was supposed to be Episode 10.
If anything, having the creation of K-2 being the closing of the Ghorman arc does feel like it makes sense organically; but it also makes Mothma's speech more urgent and her escape more heart-pounding seeing that it takes place so close to the massacre.
For now, fans are expecting one last time jump to build up to the events of Rogue One . We don't know if Cassian will ever see Bix again, but the fanbase is hoping that she eventually sees him one last time before he dies on Scarif.
Catch the final arc of Andor when it comes to Disney+ on Tuesday next week.

Queer Erasure: These Reveals for Disney Pixar's Elio are Getting Out of Hand
Even before Disney Pixar's Elio was released, the movie was already getting bashed for not having enough marketing and looking pretty generic; and while some fans were hoping it could pull off an Elemental and get good word of mouth, this latest reveal about the film may have just cemented the failure of Elio at the box office. According to a recent reveal from The Hollywood Reporter, some Pixar staffers had revealed that Elio underwent a major rework—particularly removing several queer elements associated with the character to make him more masculine and general audience friendly. ' I was deeply saddened and aggrieved by the changes that were made… The exodus of talent after that cut was really indicative of how unhappy a lot of people were that they had changed and destroyed this beautiful work,' says former Pixar asst. editor Sarah Ligatich. As it turns out, much like the original director Adrian Molina, Elio was supposed to be queer-coded in the film, with implications that he was very much into fashion and that he even had a crush on a boy. While the movie was said to have been enjoyed by test audiences, they were then asked if any would watch it in theaters and nobody had raised their hand—resulting in the heads of Pixar to rework the movie and make Elio more 'masculine'. An anonymous Pixar staffer confirmed: 'It was pretty clear through the production of the first version of the film that [studio leaders] were constantly sanding down these moments in the film that alluded to Elio's sexuality of being queer.' As you would expect, when this news broke out, several people online had decides to speak out about Pixar. This wasn't the only time they had done queer erasure. A few months back, they were also getting flak for removing a transgender storyline in their Disney+ series Win or Lose. If anything, Elio is still getting some nice word-of-mouth from anyone whose seen it, but after the release of the THR report, fans are now thinking this could be the final nail in Elio 's box office coffin. For now, we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, Elio is now showing in theaters.

Jude Law Allegedly Reprising Jod for Other Star Wars Projects
Jude Law entered the world of Star Wars in Skeleton Crew as a pirate with Force powers, and while a second season hasn't been announced, it does sound like we could be seeing more of Crimson Jack/Jod Na Nawood. According to insider Daniel RPK (via @screentime), Jod is expected to appear in other Star Wars projects. It's not clear which ones yet, but it's possible that he could appear in something close to the Mandalorian timeline since Skeleton Crew takes place only a few years after Return of the Jedi , but way past The Force Awakens . Personally, I was hoping for Jod and the kids to have their story take place after The Rise of Skywalker , but it's possible that Lucasfilm may want to keep expanded material away from that era in the meantime, since they're trying to rebuild a new trilogy with Rey Skywalker. As far as Jod's story goes, it looks like he's going to be taken into custody after the first season of Skeleton Crew , but there are some fans (specifically myself) who are almost positive that Jod is going to have some kind of redemption because the series is very specific about him wanting the treasure but not wanting to hurt any of the kids. We don't know when Jod is going to appear again, but you can check him out on his own space adventure with a bunch of silly kids in Skeleton Crew which is now streaming on Disney+.
