you know what makes andor's dialogue so great? its information dense, and they balance what has to be said with showing the audience the appropriate context. when cassian walks into that bar place it's not like someone has to say what kind of worker she is and its not like the cops immediately start questioning him about where he's from
it reminds me of how languages irl have varying levels of information density because of how much information each morpheme (?) can convey, so like thats why japanese and spanish sound so fast--they need more syllables to say the same thing that a denser language can get across in less words. english having 's for posession versus spanish using "de (owner)", for example, or japanese sentence structure being subject article noun article verb versus igbo's tonality and verb suffixes meaning we don't have to say things like "formerly" or "initially", we just add one morpheme
