AndorThe last batch of episodes had to browse a constant balancing act, linking together a myriad of swirling characters in the imminent shadow not only of the events of the events of Snape OneBut the events of Star Wars himself. By browsing in the last culminating days where Andor This could be himself as well as the ferryman of the torch, the show managed to give us as well as to his characters the ends that may have the most.
Lute
It is impossible to talk about the final arc of Andor Not to mention the end, he departs first. Luthen’s long -awaited confrontation with Dedra is tragic in many ways, not only because of her choice to sacrifice herself to deny her the information she wants, but because, unlike the other rebel stories that we see here, it is so incredibly alone. There is no big outing, no long goodbye – he gets a brief moment with Kleya when he sends her back, and of course, Dedra’s attempts to keep him alive make the moment of his end after the course of episode 10, “have it stopped.” He dies quietly, he dies incapable of really knowing what impact he has on the verge of having on the people he knew, the people he loved, the rebellion and the fate of the galaxy itself.
But the last moment of Luthen, before he took the knife to himself, as sad as it is, is also a beautiful-one which is thematically linked to the ends of the rest of the rebels through AndorThe final act is brilliantly together. “The rebellion is no longer there, it is by plane,” he said in Dedra. “It’s everywhere now … there is a whole galaxy there, waiting for you to disgust.” The work that Luthen has done can be isolated by design, playing cells and agents from each other, paranoia of all the secrets he helped to keep. But as he burns brilliantly, because the sunrise he knew he would never see, it is unfailing that what he helped to create has connected voices everywhere in the galaxy. That there is, as the code of code of his agents said, friends everywhere.
Partagaz and ISB
It is this particular theme through the line triggered by the words of Luthen which also defines the ends of our imperial antagonists through the contrast. We will arrive at Dedra separately, but it is interesting that the ends we get to AndorThe ISB device – represented by it, Partagaz and inherit in these episodes, and to a lesser extent, a double agent – are alone for reasons very different from those of Luthen. Syril’s death on Ghorman threw the plan here: AndorThe vision of the empire is defined in equal parts the abuse of its systems for personal glorification, and the deadly threat of this system even subsumes its most ardent support and benefactors, because it is exactly what the empire is designed to do.
Lonni could die in Luthen’s hands, it is implicit, but he dies because his use as a tool of the system he had excited is finished. The great prosecution of Kleya de Heert – a mirror with the obsession of Dedra for Axis for which he had sneered her – is rewarded by K2 throwing his lifeless body like a overgrowed of meat, crumpled and forgotten. Partagaz is perhaps the most deliciously bitter, not only for the system that he helped create a crashing around him, but because, once again, his last moments have spent that the rebellion is so much greater than the “disease” that he thought he could contain and sterilize. He is alone in a room, committing suicide, after hearing the manifesto of Nemik: he has no idea who it is. He knows, once again, that he comes out everywhere.
Kleya
The end of Kleya is not so much an end, but a continuation of an inheritance that she has followed all her life. Luthen’s sacrifice gives him a chance to flee and speak to the rebellion of the death star, but that also pushes her outside her lonely world of cape and daggers, in a way. In the flashbacks which are woven throughout his solo mission to explain Luthen to rest before the Empire can draw it from the abyss, we see its story starting alone and frightened and angry – and choosing to save this orphan child and help him point out that anger somewhere growing. It is perhaps a story that we will come back one day from Kleya’s life in the rebellion, but at the moment, this set of facts does not really matter, it is that it can continue its mind when the rebellion flourishes.
Dedra
It is at that time that the last moments of Kleya and Dedra on the screen Andor are side by side. If Kleya wakes up on the new dawn to be part of the thing that his mentor helped to build, then DEDRA – in these white and orange scrubs of the imperial penitentiary system – is to see the structure which it helped to build and to defend it chewing it and spit in a forgotten hole. We know of the Arc of the One on Narkina-5 season that the Empire has now designed these facilities to never really grant freedom. There is a fascinating parallel to the death of Syril in his ultimate punishment, the idea that his obsession with Axis, as hers was with Cassian, pushed her and pushed her to a point where the Empire himself could turn against her and throw it away, and it would be too flashed to notice it until it is too late.
It is not only that the hoarding of DEDRA information that she should not have landed in the Krennic reticle, it is his desire to bring Luthen, to keep him alive once he is fatally injured, in the hope that she will be rewarded whatever the transgression she made to arrive there. That the imperial system in which she believed will work for her, rather than her. But the Empire exists to consume even its most faithful members, and therefore its punishment for having defended it so ardently is as satisfactory to look at that it was inevitable.
Bix
If one of the AndorThe ends of the end could prove controversial, it may be his last. In some respects, the isolation of Bix of the final act of Andor (A decision she makes, but one that always withdraws her from the wider fight she had previously sucked in to be a part), only for her to separate the series with the revelation that she gave birth to the child of Cassian – a child whom he will never know – treats his history as hers, and more in the service of Cassian. But it is also convincing that Bix is the rare character who ends the series given the possibility of peace, not to have to fight and fight. Lots of trips that close Andor Are those we know will continue, and more precisely who continue in the sense that their fight is not yet finished. That it is the final vision that we have the show feels, in part, that this is what it was that: to be free to live with life with dear beings, a generation which can grow in the hope that they do not in turn have to fight and to fight to maintain this peace.
Bond organa
But wait! The journey of Bail Organa does not end in Andor. He is in Snape One! He is technically A new hopeOr at least very, very small atomized parts of him!
But while these stories are, chronologically speaking, the last moments of lease in the Star Wars Saga, it looks like Andor Actually gives man himself a good sending – more appropriate than the one who is hasty in which he penetrates Snape One To meet his explosive destiny – in his brief conversation with Cassian. It is short and soft but charged with meaning, to give a small deposit to the deposit and a moment of connection with Cassian after their initial disagreements. We never see the last moments of lease from your own point of view on the screen (they are told, if you are interested, in the From a certain point of view Anthology), but giving it a swinging goal is like an appropriate coda.
The stories left a little
But for all stories above Andor Ends in his last act, there are as many – and it is just as important – that he leaves so many paths open. There are characters that we simply do not see, like Leida after his marriage, or even more characters like Kino Loy of the first season. There are characters for whom the story continues elsewhere, like Cassian and K2 themselves, or my Mothma, seen for the last time by chatting for Vel in the middle of the hubbub of Yavin IV, or Saw, looking at the imperial occupation of Jedha. Some of them are famous Star Wars Figures, and we know where they find themselves, but just as important is to obtain lightnings like Wilmon and Dreena sharing food, or, in a sincerely hilarious way, a drunk Perrin hanging on the arm of Davro Sculden.
Perhaps the most appropriate is then an end that we see, but that we never get: when Cassian wakes up from his sleep to go to his mission to Kafrene, he dreams of his sister for a long time. AndorThe first major history of his first objective, the objective of his opening scenes to put this whole story in motion, never resolves. Some people can be frustrated by this, at a time when Star Wars fans and Star Wars He is sometimes obsessed with himself by verifying the facts and details of his world. But we get everything we need to know: Cassian always thinks of her. He dies of never getting the answer. We may never teach ourselves rightly.
Everything does not end permanently. Life continues. Even if we know the broad blows of what will happen right now in Star WarsSome answers are never found. But there is a whole texture of existence under this swept saga and these big questions, and it is this Andor always reminded us.
