Star Wars Lastly Explains One thing That is Been Actually Bugging Me Since Andor Season 1

One thing odd has stood out to me since I first watched Andor season 1, however a brand new Star Wars story could have lastly given me the reply. Regardless of having just one 12-episode season, Andor has simply develop into considered one of my all-time favourite Star Wars TV reveals, and I am actually not alone in that opinion. With glorious writing, excessive manufacturing values, and well-thought-out character arcs, Andor is the crowning achievement of recent Star Wars.

Nonetheless, out of all the wonderful characters in Andor, one determine was notably absent within the first season… Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan. Spymaster Luthen Rael labored alongside acquainted insurgent leaders like Noticed Gerrera and Senator Mon Mothma, however Princess Leia’s father was nowhere to be seen. Whereas they could have simply been saving him for Andor season 2, one other clarification is offered in Star Wars: Reign of the Empire – The Masks of Worry by Alexander Freed.

Bail Organa & Mon Mothma Weren’t As Shut As We Thought

Being robust allies did not make them good mates

I all the time assumed that Bail Organa and Mon Mothma will need to have been good mates due to the essential scenes they shared all through Star Wars. Within the deleted scenes for Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Bail and Mon joined Padmé Amidala and different like-minded senators who sought to oppose Palpatine’s energy grabs. The labored carefully collectively within the insurgent base on Yavin 4 in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Whereas they could have shared a standard trigger on a number of events, it appears I overestimated how shut they have been. In Reign of the Empire – The Masks of Worry, it is revealed that Bail and Mon do not truly like one another all that a lot and do not get alongside very effectively in non-public. They actually respect and admire one another due to their shared values, however there are additionally key points they can not agree on.

They each knew how unhealthy issues have been going to get when Palpatine declared himself Emperor, however they disagreed on what to do about it. Bail was decided to show the Jedi have been harmless of treason, proving Palpatine primarily based Order 66 on lies and turning the galaxy in opposition to him. Mon, nevertheless, believed nobody would care concerning the Jedi and sought to go laws that might reform the Empire and considerably cut back Palpatine’s energy.

The Rift Between Bail & Mon Should’ve Continued Into Andor

They solely labored collectively when needed

In the end, Bail and Mon each did not cease Palpatine on their very own, recognizing the necessity to work collectively. Noticed Gerrera had additionally failed in his latest army assaults in opposition to the Empire, and regardless of distrusting Imperial politicians, he agreed to a secret assembly with Bail and Mon. Collectively, the three of them took the primary steps to planning a long-term technique to defeat the Empire, principally working independently however nonetheless coordinating when doable.

Even so, the rift between Bail and Mon is probably the most logical clarification for why he does not seem in Andor. They might have had the identical final aim, however additionally they had conflicting methods and values, and this will likely have gotten worse over time. Bail was both on Alderaan together with his household or pursuing his personal technique throughout the occasions of Andor season 1, and he could have disapproved a few of Mon’s selections had he identified about them.

Andor Season 2 Has GOT To Characteristic Bail Organa

And considered one of Andor’s greatest characters could make it occur

Now that I’ve learn Reign of the Empire – The Masks of Worry, there is not any manner Andor season 2 can afford to not embrace Bail Organa. The guide firmly establishes Noticed, Mon, and Bail as the unique triumvirate of the Insurgent Alliance, however solely the primary two have appeared within the present. Mon has successfully confirmed the political facet of the Riot, whereas Noticed has proven the disgruntled freedom fireplace who not trusts individuals like her.

Fortunately, there’s one different character linking Mon and Noticed in Andor… Luthen Rael. He meets Mon in his aristocratic disguise on Coruscant, whereas displaying his extra rugged facet in conferences with Noticed. This makes me surprise if Luthen has truly been assembly with Bail in one other disguise this complete time, or if he is lastly going to ascertain a working relationship with Bail in season 2.

We all know that Bail, Mon, and Noticed absolutely come collectively when the correct Insurgent Alliance takes form, so possibly Luthen was the one who lastly received them previous their variations. In any case, Bail may be very loyal to the Jedi, and Luthen carries round a kyber crystal, so possibly he is suited to enchantment to Bail’s sentiments. Nonetheless Andor‘s second season performs out, I undoubtedly need to see how Bail suits into this a part of the Star Wars timeline.
