The most recent Star Wars streaming collection, Andor, is exploring the early days of the Revolt by the eyes of the ground-level spies doing their soiled work within the battle towards the Empire. Whereas earlier Star Wars media has provided a black-and-white portrait of the battle with noble Rebels and cartoonishly evil Imperials, Andor is digging into the ethical grey areas on each side of the conflict.
Some Rebels, like Leia Organa and Cassian Andor, are extra dedicated to the trigger than others, just like the self-serving Han Solo and the reluctant Mon Mothma.
10/10 Han Solo
When Ben Kenobi recruited him for a job in Mos Eisley Cantina, Han Solo was launched as a self-serving scoundrel who solely took the job for a simple paycheck. All through the film, he warms to Luke and Leia and will get onboard the Rebels’ trigger. This culminates in Han’s triumphant return throughout the Demise Star trench run to shoot down the TIE fighters chasing Luke.
However even after becoming a member of the Revolt and incomes a medal for his bravery, Han was nonetheless extra concerned about paying off his money owed to gangsters than taking down the Empire.
9/10 Cassian Andor
The primary season of Andor has explored Cassian Andor’s origin story. When he was first launched in Rogue One, Cassian was one of the diehard Rebels within the Star Wars universe. However he wasn’t all the time dedicated to the Rebels’ trigger; his first Insurgent mission was only a mercenary-for-hire job for a profitable paycheck.
As Cassian has been harassed by Imperial officers and locked in an Imperial jail, he’s gotten nearer and nearer to turning on the Empire and becoming a member of the Rebels’ battle.
8/10 Ahsoka Tano
After leaving the Jedi Order, going out on her personal, and turning into a rogue badass, Ahsoka Tano labored for the Revolt as a undercover agent underneath the covert codename “Fulcrum.” Ahsoka and the Ghost crew achieved a number of the Rebels’ best victories collectively.
Ahsoka won’t have been probably the most loyal servant of the Revolt, however she did put her life on the road in service of bringing down the Empire that her former grasp helped to get off the bottom.
7/10 Mon Mothma
Within the authentic trilogy, Mon Mothma was depicted because the de facto chief of the Insurgent Alliance. However Andor takes place lengthy earlier than that, exploring her early work for the Revolt whereas nonetheless holding political workplace within the Senate underneath Imperial rule.
From expressing her issues to Luthen Rael to telling her cousin, diehard Insurgent operative Vel Sartha, to be “a spoilt wealthy woman” for some time, it’s clear that Mon Mothma isn’t positive if the Rebels are doing the best factor.
6/10 Luke Skywalker
Even earlier than Ben Kenobi whisked him away on an intergalactic journey, Luke Skywalker dreamed of combating for the Revolt. He desperately needed to go away his aunt and uncle’s moisture farm behind so he may fly X-wings and blow up Imperial ships.
Luke secured the Rebels’ first main victory over the Empire – the destruction of the Demise Star – and caught with the trigger to the very finish, even after studying his father was in cost and being provided a administration place.
5/10 Admiral Ackbar
Admiral Ackbar is primarily identified for uttering three iconic phrases – “It’s a lure!” – throughout the Rebels’ remaining battle towards the Empire. But it surely was clear from his transient look in Return of the Jedi that he was one of the devoted Rebels within the galaxy.
Ackbar led the Insurgent fleet into their final stand towards the Empire with the destruction of the second Demise Star. Even when it was clear that they have been lured right into a lure, Ackbar refused to face down.
4/10 Luthen Rael
Cassian Andor is first introduced into the fold of the Revolt when Luthen Rael exhibits as much as save him from advancing Imperial detectives. Rael runs an vintage retailer stuffed with Easter eggs and places on a pleasant facade in order that nobody suspects him of working with the Revolt.
Like Mon Mothma, Rael has a profession on Coruscant to maintain up appearances. However not like Mothma, Rael’s cowl purely exists to create the phantasm that he’s not serving to the Rebels – he’s all in on their trigger.
3/10 Captain Rex
Captain Rex was once one of many Republic’s most trusted clones, however he switched sides simply in time. Rex eliminated his inhibitor chip earlier than the Nice Jedi Purge, permitting him to disregard Order 66 when it was executed by Palpatine.
As a substitute of wiping out the Jedi, Rex joined the Insurgent Alliance and caught with them to the top of their bitter battle towards the Empire. He was even retconned to have fought within the Battle of Endor.
2/10 Leia Organa
Together with her soft palace and royal title on Alderaan, Leia Organa was doing a lot better than the typical citizen when the galaxy was taken over by the Empire. But it surely simply goes to indicate the energy of her convictions that she left that pampered life behind to guide the Rebels of their battle towards the Empire.
Leia won’t go all the way down to the frontlines of each battle (though she does go all the way down to Endor to assist destroy the protect generator), however she’s the sturdy chief that the Revolt wanted.
1/10 Noticed Gerrera
Noticed Gerrera is so devoted to the Rebels’ trigger that even a few of his fellow Rebels assume he is perhaps taking it slightly too far. Of the numerous Insurgent faction leaders in a galaxy far, distant, Gerrera is by far probably the most radical extremist. In Gerrera’s eyes, the ends justify the means – a philosophy that he has used to excuse heinous conflict crimes.
Gerrera feels that the Empire’s marketing campaign of fearmongering is so efficient that he could make them seem weak by main a Insurgent faction that strikes much more worry into the galaxy.
