After a few months of hiatus, new Star Wars content is just around the corner! Andor arrives on Disney+ by the end of the month, with the promise of telling a story leaning more on the political thriller side of the franchise, which hasn't been further explored yet —not on its live action shows, at least. Because, yes, Star Wars is not just about family drama and exploding ships, it does have a deeply political side.
By the end of the conflict, some members of the Galactic Senate began smelling something fishy about the way Palpatine held so dearly to power. Time and time again, the House kept agreeing on giving him more and more executive power over the Republic and its army. By the way, the Republic never even had an army before .
A few days later, after Skywalker reveals to the Jedi Council that Palpatine is secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and that he has been playing both sides of the war, the Jedis' attempt to arrest the chancellor fails, Order 66 is issued and, throughout the galaxy, the light of the Jedi goes dark. In an extraordinary session in the Senate, Palpatine declares the end of the war and the Republic, crowning himself Emperor of the First Galactic Empire.
The Many Rebellions But not all rebel groups were violent. They did what was necessary to survive, granted, but mostly they tried to preserve life. One of these cells was led by Kawlan Roken and created The Path, a network of rescue and support for Jedi and Force-sensitive people hunted by the Empire and its Inquisitors.
The merging of the Specters and the Phoenix Cell was the start of something special. Their operations brought hope to people through the Outer Rim of the galaxy and quickly became a source of concern for the Empire. First, Imperial Security Bureau agent Alexsandr Kallus , the Grand Inquisitor and Governor Arihnda Pryce were responsible for their capture.
Military leaders included intelligence specialist General Davits Draven , and generals Jan Dononna , Carlist Rieekan , Raddus and Gial Ackbar . Intelligence officers included Fulcrum agents Ahsoka Tano, Alexsandr Kallus and Cassian Andor himself. From her days as a pilot, Hera Syndulla eventually achieved the rank of general by the Battle of Scarif.
To prevent more genocides from happening, everything depended on the Rogue One crew's efforts. They tried extraction Galen Erso from the Imperial facility on Eadu, but the scientist was killed in the process. Their efforts eventually led them to Scarif, the planet that house the Imperial database containing most of its initiative's plans. To provide support to the crew on land, the Rebel Fleet appeared on the orbit of the beach planet to do battle against the imperials.
Gonna suck.
