    What a great ending! The whole cinema stood up, screamed, and threw their popcorn in the air during the surprising after credits scene.

    Who knew they would already introduce the New Rogues, kicking off phase 3 of the SWCU!

    What was Cassin supposed to do regarding Maarva? Fistfight time?

      If you remember the first season. Andor was a merc who did the Aldani job for payment. That’s why Luthin wanted to kill him; he wasn’t a rebel, but he had a head full of rebel intel.

      Maarva refused to go with him into his comfortable retirement and he basically abandoned her and the fight. He ran.

      His subsequent imprisonment was a direct result of him turning his back and choosing the easy path. He didn’t fail Maarva when she died, he failed her when he gave up the fight.

      EDIT: this is a big part of his development. He didn’t get radicalized in prison. He got radicalized by his guilt and grief for Maarva.

        I’m pretty sure being stuck in space prison with Gollum was a factor.

          He was still a one-man rebellion fighting for himself. It wasn’t until the funeral that he decided to throw his will to life into the furnace and give himself to rebellion.

          He made a decision on Fraxis to either die by Luthens hand or by the Emperor’s. The loss of Maarva made him so ashamed and angry that in the desire to make up for it, he made a suicide pact. That’s not the same man who jumped into the water and swam for his life.

                Nah, I just don’t feel like typing out a thesis to defend what started out as an offhand joke under a meme post.
