Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy debunks a fan theory that held out hope that one of the season 1 finale's major deaths was actually a hoax: 'I saw that theory. I love that theory.'
This article contains spoilers for Andor episode 12.Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy debunks a fan theory about the season finale's major death. Andor is the latest Star Wars original series to premiere on Disney+. The series serves as a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and follows Cassian Andor as he transitions from a petty thief to a prominent figure in the Rebellion against the Empire.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gilroy debunks a fan theory that questioned if Maarva's death was legitimate. Maarva is Cassian's adoptive mother in the show. However, she fell ill in Andor episode 11, "Daughter of Ferrix," and died, prompting Cassian to return to Ferrix for her funeral in the finale. While her death appeared final, fans questioned if she could potentially still be alive.
Oh, I know. I saw that theory. I love that theory. I saw somebody with a theory, "Oh my God, she's not dead. They're sneaking her out of there. It's Cassian's way of getting her free and they think she's dead." And I was like, "Wow, that's a viable idea," but that's not what we're doing.What Maarva's Death Means For Andor Season 2 Based on Gilroy's debunking, it appears that Maarva's death was final.
The second season will officially explore him taking on a true role in the Rebellion after his mother's death put his decision in motion. He decided to stay on Ferrix like her, as an act of rebellion, and propositioned Luthen Rael to take him on as an agent. Now that Maarva's death has sparked Cassian's official decision to join the Rebellion, Andor season 2 will further explore the events leading up to Rogue One and how Andor climbed the ranks of the Rebellion.
Additionally, Maarva's death could renew Andor's interest in his long-lost sister, Kerri , from his home planet of Kenari. The two were separated when Cassian was just 6 years old, and he went on to be raised as the adopted son of Maarva. While Andor was searching for Kerri in the beginning, mentions and flashbacks of her dropped off inexplicably about halfway through the season. Fans still hold out hope that Andor season 2 can explain what happened to her.
