I think once we got our hands on the Narkina prison system, her fate was sealed,” Andor creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy said with a chuckle.

Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor Season 2, is the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise. Andor is a prequel to the movie, Rogue One, which is a prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy.

Star Wars has spent a long time bringing back elements of the old Expanded Universe into current continuity—but Andor's latest episodes include one of the deftest examples of it.

This week, many fans are diving into the final episodes of Andor season two on Disney+. Meanwhile, others are still reeling from last week’s powerful episode. Episodes seven through nine of the Star Wars spin-off show depicted the tragedy of the fictional Ghorman massacre and its political fallout.

Andor Season 2, episode 8, "Who Are You?" was one of the darkest moments of the Disney-era Star Wars franchise.

I wanted to have something hopeful at the end of this. We’re punishing a lot of people in this show,” Gilroy said.

The final three episodes include major deaths, callbacks and one last swashbuckling adventure rooted in the idea that every soldier counts in a fight for freedom.
