Probably his resourcefulness. Went through a lot of hell and came through it in stellar fashion, and what Cassian said to him at the very end was telling.

Luthen knows he has a completely focused and faithful agent of the Rebellion right now, who hates the Empire and is - thanks to Maarva - devoted to the revolution.

I see now, Luthien is wearing robes too.   That’s pretty damming evidence….

That dark hooded robe is a hallmark of Jedi in a state of internal conflict.

Taken alone, it's meaningless, but with the many other facets of Luthen's character, it's starting to paint that picture.  There's still the matter of that lightsaber looking item he had.

Speaking of, it reminds me of the one the Wookie made during "The Gathering" TCW episode.

Andor only became a loose end when he wouldn't join the Rebellion.  Once he changes his mind and wanted in, he was no longer a loose end.

This. When he was freelancing he was a threat due to his knowledge about Luthen and the risk of him being arrested and interrogated by the empire. As a member of the rebellion, he is an asset.

I think it would work.  The fact that it is kept under wraps is what helps it in this case.  Just my 2 cents.

What they should do is never reveal it.

Just like he is being secretive with his peers the writers should be with us.

Yes but if you noticed in the last few episodes... She's not going to make it that long in the Senate

This was also covered in Rebels. Long before Yavin, she was on the run from the Empire and received aid from the Ghost crew.

The cause of her flight was well shown, she publicly spoke out against the Empire.  We'll see that in person soon enough in S2 I'm sure, instead of just the brief hologram we saw in Rebels.

Live action introduction of the ghost crew would make me very happy if they do it right. But I hope they don’t mess up rebels. Rebels is one of my favorite Star Wars things.

This. He had been trying to recruit him from the beginning, clearly felt like he'd miscalculated. He was visibly relieved at the end that he hadn't misjudged him.

He was only a threat when he was an outsider.  Centa and Mothma's Niece all know about the heist as well.  Also, given that his mother sparked a rebellion, killing her son would be a huge political mistake.

Specifically, it's covered in Season 3, episode 18, Secret Cargo.  After Ferrix, lots of other planets start to protest.  The Empire starts getting more and more aggressive putting these protests down, which culminates in a massacre on a planet called Ghorman.  She speaks out in the Senate about it and transmits that speech and the Empire brands her a traitor.  She resigns from the Senate and flees with the help of Gold Squadron and Phoenix Cell.

I really hope they don't.  I agree, Rebels was great.  I was really disappointed with the live action Grand Inquisitor in Obi Wan, not just the look but the acting was noting like the character in Rebels.  Zeb would be really hard to get right and I'd rather not see them do it poorly.

Cassian is asking to be taken on, to join up.  Before, he just wanted to work a job for $$$.

Now, his heart is in it, he is driven, and has his adopted mother as motivation, as well as Bixx

I wonder if Mon Mothma's "stop gambling" speech was staged, i.e. he's really not gambling.  She knows her driver is listening, and it would explain the missing 400,000 credits.

Cassian said kill me or take me in.  Which is what Luthen wanted all along as he exposed himself to save Cassian before the heist

I think she's always known he was listening, definitely think it's to cover her ass and new banking help at the end to ensure she can continue on without as much scrutiny

Well duh it was staged. She's known she was under surveillance and even mentioned it a few times.

Perrin wasn't in on it though. She seems to keep him at arm's length, and him being caught completely off guard and vehemently denying it sells the story better than if he had to fake argue the point.

Honestly, it was the first time I felt any sympathy for him. Being brow beat over something he didn't even do.

Agree. The full crew can stay in the cartoons, and also agree Zeb would be exceptionally difficult to get correct for live action, especially with their preference for practical effects over CGI

I could see Sabine being pulled into Mando at some point since she's part of the Darksaber arc, but tying in that many characters would be wholly unnecessary. We'll likely see her flight from Coruscant without much mention of what happened with the refueling stop.

If they want to do a nod to that, they could have The Ghost drop her off on Yavin without showing the crew. It did appear briefly in the background during Rogue 1.

And they never showed that red droid again after it got knocked over. He can't be out of the picture. Curious now if there's a connection.

B2EMO was on the ship with Bix and Brasso.

It was a theory mentioned several times here that his personality would be uploaded into an imperial droid and become K2-SO.  It's hard to ignore the similarity in their names.

Hope they don't do another Solo weirdo droid

The theory of him becoming K2 makes a ton of sense.  B2 has difficulty lying (similar to K2's habit of saying whatever he thinks) and would explain K2's level of devotion to Cassian considering the relatively short time between now and the events of Rogue 1.

This. He had been trying to recruit him from the beginning, clearly felt like he'd miscalculated. He was visibly relieved at the end that he hadn't misjudged him.


Probably understood the kinda asset he had for the rebellion as well.  Rescued his lady friend and found his ship in the middle of that situation where everyone was looking for him


I was actually going to rewatch it later to see what I missed... did they show how Cassian found his way to the ship?


I rewarched it but still didn't figure that out.  He had to have a speeder or a ride, but also got himself onto ship and had computer not listening to Luthen as his commands went unheaded


Oh shit... good catch.

And they never showed that red droid again after it got knocked over. He can't be out of the picture. Curious now if there's a connection.


I noticed the red Droid seemed to survive, can't imagine it's not wanting to help Cassian in some way at some point

It definitely makes sense, guess season 2 in 2024 or 2025 whenever it shows will show us how that happens.  The k2s seem useful as droids go

I must have dozed off when Cassian got sent to the pokey so I had no idea how that happened, I tend to watch them late at night to avoid interruptions. My oldest will be coming home for the holidays on the 10th, and he's not seen any of them yet, so we'll binge watch the series together.

Best SW since Rogue 1, much better than the prequels and KK-led garbage. SOLO and Rise of Skywalker are the ONLY SW movies I didn't see in the theater on opening day (or in a theater) besides the very first one.

And there we have it.


If you cannot appreciate the direct comparisons at this point then all hope is lost.

Reminds me of pre Covid and Virginia rally.


Aside, the soundtrack is fantastic, the scene on the beach with Cassian looking down in shock, and the last episode where Luthen just looks down upon the city in deep thought are fantastic.

Alternatively, if he is a Jedi, imaging standing there and watching people get slaughtered and you cant do anything to stop it, because if you do, Ferrix with suffer even further under the boot of the Empire while they tear the place apart looking for a Jedi.

Which is more poignant, after the monologue?  Not a Jedi Luthen being faced with the pain and suffering or Jedi Luthen being faced with the pain and suffering, potentially being able to stop it, but having to walk away while people die because the outcome would be worse if he did stop it?

Wasn't the red droid "Bee?" on the ship with the others when he dropped Bixx off?


Damnit, now I'll definitely have to watch again.


There was a quick scene with one of the characters (the guy who was getting the ship fueled and running) pulling B with a rope away from the melee.

Then a scene on the ship with Cassian telling him (B) to take care of Bix.

When Luthen was riding his speeder back to the ship he was following the same route they did when they escaped Ferrix together.

I assumed he parked it in the same place. Careless, really. Or maybe it was just the only safe place to park.

Or maybe on purpose. Maybe he figured that after everything hit the fan that Cassian might be looking for a way off and he parked in a place that maybe he would come back to.

Some of you guys are scary good in that "attention to detail" category.

Many rewatch episodes. Already knowing the major plot events frees one up to notice more minute details.

For example, on the first viewing of Tales of the Jedi I was focused on Ahsoka in the training one. On rewatch I noticed a brief appearance by Kanaan Jarrus there as a young Padawan spectating.

It’s on the ship with Bix. He even saw Cassian coming with Bix and was excited.

That soundtrack on the “Miami” planet was just outstanding!

I hope they keep the show runners and everyone creative in place for upcoming seasons because they really need to preserve the “feel” of this show.

We had Space Miami and Space New Orleans this season.

Andor eventually wears a puffy blue jacket, so maybe there'll be Space Minneapolis next season.

Finally watched the after credits bit on the finale.  I knew it!!!

And oh, the irony.  Wonder if he ever figured it out?

Someone needs to get a copy of the 2md season as soon as it's done production and load it on the ARFcom torrent so we can all watch it way before release date.

If they want to do a nod to that, they could have The Ghost drop her off on Yavin without showing the crew. It did appear briefly in the background during Rogue 1.

Didnt Luthen have to take the "taxi" to the city from the spaceport?  I thought there was dialogue about how far the two were from each other. Like the Denver Airport.
