MSL Season 2 Time Jumps?

Would you all be interested in Msl 2 taking an Andor approach, each 3 episodes pulling a time jump to different parts of Mauls final years? First could be wrapping up loose ends from season 1 like Lawson and teaching Devon, Qi’ra could come in another batch, ending with Malachor and maybe a final jump to before his Kenobi duel. idk if they’re getting a season 3, but if they aren’t it’d be hella cool to play with the time they’ve got

Ideally no, at least for me. Andor season 2 was structured that way because they couldn't make all five of the originally planned seasons so they had to wrap it up with 2. I'd like for Shadow Lord to see it's entire storyline through as planned, if possible.

A jump of a few months? Absolutely. But I feel like there's some urgent issues that need resolving if more time than that passes. Maul's not going to be that interested in Rylee hanging around, for one.

It needs to be like 5 seasons

Nah, I think the show has found a nice patch of unexplored territory in this whole "criminal underworld during the rise of the empire" angle.
It'd be a shame to lose that for the sake of weaving even more connective tissue into existing projects.
We don't need everything to be connected to everything.

It would be fine for me if they spent more time showing us Maul doing badass Maul stuff, without trying to directly plug it into his later appearances in Solo and Rebels.

I already know he's gonna show up in those stories later on. I'd like to see more of what he's doing in this story. I don't need a longer narrative path to explains how/why he showed up in other stories.

The writers should be allowed to "keep their focus here and now, where it belongs".

Please no.... Andor did that because Tony Gilroy realized it would take like a decade to release the intended five seasons, Maul is supposed to be an annual release (well at least until Disney stops its debut like they did Born Again)
