I have friends everywhere. It's a code for, ”Spoilers forward! Don't read more unless you've seen the episodes 10-12 of the Andor season 2. "

In the world of "Andor", there are no famous heroes - only those who are hidden in secret, those who were exiled, or, well, those who end up dead. During the second season of this valued series "War of Starwells"We have seen that everyone fit into one of those three categories. Diego Luna's Kassi Andor is obviously our main hero, but the very nature of this foretelling story means that he ends "Rogue One" as just one of the countless unknown people who have helped deliver the plans of the Burning Starvist. Eveneviv O'Rili Senator Mont Motma has ever worked in secret, but has since chosen exile after her exciting speech He painted her as a public enemy number 1 in the eyes of the empire. And, of course, we endured a few dead comrades during these latest episodes only, with characters like Sinta (Varada Setu) and the fighters for freedom of Gurman (and many others) that burn their lives for sunset that they will never see.

However, one falls neatly in all three categories of the hero ... and, in episode 10, it comes to the end of the line as a tragic and irresistible fate like any character in the series. Imperial Supervisor Lonnie Jung, played by Robert EMS in Andor's two seasons, finally sees his role in this cosmic play, a sudden conclusion. Secretly turned with a double agent for the uprising of the capitol of the Empire in Koruskant, Lonny probably did more about the success of the rebellion than Everyone. Although not officially exiled in the way Mont Motma is, his role in the revolution prevented him from living freely among true friends and allies. And, with the initial act of episode 10, it provides the largest and most of the Intel gearbox in the whole series: evidence of the construction of the death Starwar.

So what does he get for all his "epic" contributions to the cause? Blister fired to his chest from his steering wheel Luten Rael (Stellan Scarsgard).

This is an ode to the most memorable, unused and invaluable member of the insurgency. Rest in peace, Lonnie Jung. No one will ever know, but the original trilogy "War of Starwells" could never have happened without you.

With a possible exception to Mont Motma, no character in Andor embodies the idea of ​​"appearance can deceive" more than Lonnie Jung. By the time his ultimate fraud was discovered by his superiors in the Imperial Security Bureau, the first (and unique?) The line of his epitaph would probably be a bit along the lines of "capable, competent and unnoticeable, Lonnie Jung served the empire." How unusual the obituity for a brazen face (beautiful mustache aside) whose life depends on flying under the radar unnoticed.

His extremely forgotten person, however, is exactly what he did responsible for some of the absolute best moments of the show over the years. One thing is to quietly make the confidence of big figures, such as Partagaz (Anton Smaller) and Dedra Meero (Robert EMS), playing the role of the company's man to perfection so as not to wake up any doubt. Another thing is to work up the stairs of the imperial scale, without drawing attention to yourself ... But constantly putting yourself in the ideal position to gain valuable Intel. Take Incident Anto Creigir from Season 1For example, when he transmits information that the empire has become aware of the planned raid sponsored by Luten. The question then turns into a moral quander of warning Creaker and his people that they march to their deaths, or consider them to be consumable, so that the rebels do not burn their most valuable inside man: Loni. Of course, this is the scene that leads directly to The famous Luten “I made my mind without the sun” monologue.

In Season 2, Loni's role happily becomes a little more practical. Involuntary, he helps Kleia (Elizabeth Dulau), a tireless assistant of Luten and the like, overshadowed the hero, at a crucial moment in the Davo Sculptudown exhibition room during episode 6. Even in the fourth episode, Jung and Colleague Supervisor Hert. the ISB. Through their perspective, the show continues the brilliant focus on the first season of the empire of the empire and officers "just follow the orders" to get the imperial speeds to raise together. As a result, Loni's influence on Andor far exceeds his right time on the screen in the series to date.

Taken as a whole, Lonnie Jung is both a warning story and an aspiration figure. We will never know exactly why he joined the ranks of the empire as he was put into contact with Luten, or that made him become a full member of the resistance (though, if the history of "Starwells War" is something to pass, we will probably get those answers in some random comic book or not). But, Based only on his vital role through "Andor", " It can be said with certainty that no one off the Luten itself gives the rebel cause as Loni does.

It is a remarkable feat that creator Tony Gillroy manages to pull out with the image of Lonnie, a relatively small accompanying character who still throws the longest shadows. Initially presented himself in Season 1 as just another uniform in the background of several ISB meetings, the role of Loni ever since the most important mole, the rebellion has once practically defied the imagination. Perfectly appropriate to that He is The one who receives the hands of the supervisor reports in construction by the empire and that, after all, he decided to take him to Luten - not knowing, at the cost of his own life. That is why the events of "Rogue One" and the original "Starwells War" ever happen.

Then it is still tragic that his exploitation will never be known to the galaxy at all. Luten essentially condemns an anonymous fate with his own hands, choosing to kill Jung immediately in the middle of the Koruscan Park, instead of going into trouble to smear Javin's safety (as he promises). When he dies, also the risk he poses if he is ever captured by the imperial forces. But as a result, any recognition he will ever receive from the good guys who benefit from his heroism. In the books on the history of the Empire, he will be a footnote and a traitor who died nonsense death. In the annals of the rebellion, well, no one will know the defenders of his actions. We will However, know, and we'll think about Lonnie Jung for the coming years. Rip Loni, deserved better.

"Andor" is now completely Disney+.
