The movie could have started with Andy as an adult going to the theater with his friends to see the new reboot movie of Buzz Lightyear. Then the lights dim and Lightyear plays as the "movie within a movie" premise.

So then we’d be watching a movie about another movie about an actor portraying a spaceman, based on a popular children’s toy.

So much less confusing.

Or even a midnight screening rerelease of an old classic biopic film that he loved as a kid

There's no way that this "Lightyear" was a kids' movie from the 90s that the Buzz toys came from. Nothing about it fits that concept.

Right, Pixar dropped the ball. but I thought thats how Chris Evans described it initially like he's the man the toy is based on.

The unused movie within movie idea is still great regardless.
