"Andor Season 2: Star Wars Timeline, Luthens Story & Rogue One Connections"

Andor Season 2 still maintains a considerable level of quality from Season 1. With its exquisite production, impeccable props, visuals, and costumes, it can be said to be the best work in the Star Wars franchise to date. There are no lightsabers or the Force in the show; instead, it tells the story of ordinary people's resistance. They are not written into the history of the galaxy, and no one will remember them, but each and every one of them together forms the "New Hope".

If you carefully sort out the timeline of this final part, you will find that from the leak of the Death Star information to its destruction by Luke Skywalker, it took less than ten days.


On the morning of the first day, Lonni informs Luthen and is killed. On the same day, Luthen confronts Dedra and attempts suicide, ending up in the hospital. Also on the same day, Kleya goes to the hospital to disconnect Luthen's life support. That night, Kleya informs Andor, and on the next day, she is rescued and taken to Yavin 4.
On the morning of the third day, Andor heads to Kafrene. On the same day, the Rebel team rescues Jyn Erso.
On the fourth day, Andor and Jyn Erso travel to Jedha and head to Eadu that night.
On the fifth day, the Rebel team raids Scarif, and the Rebel fleet attacks Scarif. The Tantive IV carries the Death Star plans and escapes.
On the sixth day, the Empire captures Princess Leia over Tatooine. On the same day, the droids escape and are captured by the Jawas.
On the seventh day, the droids meet Luke, and the Death Star destroys Alderaan.
On the eighth day, Luke, along with the droids and Obi-Wan Kenobi, boards the Millennium Falcon and escapes. On the same day, they head to Alderaan, rescue Princess Leia from the Death Star, and flee to Yavin 4.
On the ninth day, the Death Star travels to Yavin 4 and is destroyed.

The main characters in the tenth episode are only Luthen and Kleya. The episode spends the entire time bidding farewell to the wonderful character of Luthen.

When the series was airing, many people were speculating on how Luthen's character would exit. As the darkest presence in the Rebel Alliance, Luthen, in the Imperial capital of Coruscant, kills Lonni, who might have exposed the information, and takes his own life after confronting Dedra.

Because Dedra's visit was so sudden, Luthen's suicide attempt failed, and the Empire kept him alive by force. Kleya goes to the hospital to handle Luthen's affairs, and in the process, there is a flashback to her first meeting with Luthen when she was a child. Many people speculate that Kleya is Andor's sister, but looking at the two child actors, they look completely different.

Without Luthen, there would be no Rebel Alliance. Disney could definitely make a solo series about Luthen, telling the story of his early struggles against the Empire.

Lonni's death leads to an investigation into Dedra, a civil servant within the Imperial system, on suspicion of leaking Death Star intelligence.

It's unexpected that this powerful political woman, who served the Empire all her life, ends up in the same prison where Andor was held in Season 1.

In order to capture Kleya without leaking news of the Death Star, they even used the excuse of preventing an infectious disease.

The final episode connects perfectly with Rogue One, and the dark jokes about Alderaan never get old.

The last shot shows Bix holding a child in the rice fields. The child is presumably Andor's, but thinking about the subsequent plot of Rogue One, it's very poignant.
