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.
