They can't make the rebellion bad. It's Star Wars. They can Grey it uo a bit but we already know how things go and it's pretty clear who the good guys are and they won't be allowed to change that too much.
That's how Saw Gerrera is usually used, but Andor was special because they didn't do that with him. He's not bad in Andor because he's too extreme, he's an obstacle for Luthen because he refuses to unite- and he's right to do so. If he'd agreed with Luthen in their first conversation his whole org would have been killed

What they can do is make the radical elements of the rebellion out to be holding them back, but it doesn't make sense with the story at all.
