Video Information:

The Final episode of the epic Disney Plus series Andor has dropped, putting a bow on what may be some of the most compelling Star Wars content ever created. In just a minute I will explain the ending – both of them – and talk about what it means for the future of the series – and the franchise.

After all that happens on Ferrix, Cassian has made the commitment to who he is. The show expertly took the time to show the viewer all the elements that converted this street-level criminal, to the future hero of the Rebellion. He saw the willingness of the Corpos (an extension of the Empire) to literally blow up his home town to stop him. The oppression of local culture on Aldahni to drive the Impreial machine. The manifesto written by bright eyed idealist Nemik tells him that he is not alone. The brutality by the Empire on Narkina 5 all working to keep that machine rolling while dehumanizing every prisoner. Then the final moment was the death of his rebellious mother in parallel with his own experience with the tyrannical Empire.

As Brasso told Cassian on behalf of Maarva: He was already burning. He was just the first spark of the fire. He knows everything he needs to know. And feels everything he needs to feel. When the day comes he will be an unstoppable force for good. There are almost too obvious of equivalence to Poe’s “we are the spark that lights the fire” speech in The Last Jedi. But these were the words that truly converted Cassian.

By the time the skirmish on the streets of Ferrix is over, Cassian has made up his mind. He has shown his kindheartedness throughout the show, but one may suspect that that may be to keep his conscience clean. But by the time he has made it to the end of the season, he is committed to getting his remaining loved ones out alive but knows he cannot stop there.

When Cassian saw Luthen on the streets of Ferrix, he knew he was there to kill him. But, after ensuring Bix, B2-EMO, Jezzy and Brasso are on their way, he goes back to find Luthen. Cassian confronts the Rebel leader on his ship and tells him straight up that he knows this. “You came here to kill me.” Luthen, in a fatherly tone tells him “you don’t make it easy.” Then, Cassian, who has matured, replies, “I will now.” Luthen is confused and says “What game is this?” Luthen has been going from façade to façade, double speak to double speak the entire series. He expects something like that from Cassian because it is what he is used to. Cassian replies: “No game. Kill me or take me in.”

The choice of words here is delicious. The phrase “take me in” says one thing, but means another. “Take me in” implies arrest me or capture me. But what Cassian wants is belonging and acceptance. He tells Xan before he finds out that Maarva has died that “tell her she would be proud of me.” If he is going to join this rebellion, he needs to know he is part of it. He lost his parents – twice. This is a recurring theme for him and one he reillustrates in Rogue One. He was sent to KILL Jyn’s father but could not pull the trigger. His final words to her as they are killed on the beach of Scariff is “Your father would be proud."

“Take me in,” is not coming from just a new recruit. They are three words of a man who needs to be part of something, not just a piece of another machine.
