It's a fact that when Ryan Reynolds has an idea, there's typically someone in Hollywood willing to listen. Throughout his storied career, he's bent the MPA's R-rating to his will, even convincing Disney, of all studios, to host an ultra-violent MCU movie with Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds is seemingly unstoppable in many regards, so when he says he has an idea for an R-rated Star Wars property, the House of Mouse might want to be all ears.

In Friday's The Box Office podcast episode with host Scott Mendelson, Reynolds said he pitched Disney an R-rated Star Wars project that could break the time-honored franchise wide open while not mucking with canon or primary characters.

Reynolds said.

While the Star Wars Universe remains a PG-13 affair, Tony Gilroy's Andor is a mature entry in the franchise that comes close to pushing the need for an R-rating. Gilroy doesn't fill Andor with coarse language or absurd violence. He uses Andor to tell a mature story about struggle, subterfuge, and the toppling of an evil empire. An R-rating isn't necessary. Still, some fans wonder what the show could have been like if Disney had let Gilroy take his themes a step further.
