Let's give up a man named Tivik. Without it, there is every chance that Alderaan would not be the only planet destroyed by the death Starwar in "Starwells War: Episode IV - New Hope". Of course, many people can make that claim: Galen Erso, Ynin Erso, Luten Rael, Cassian Andor, Bodie Rock. But they all take their place in the spotlight and we are talking about them. So much digital ink is poured through all those characters, but Tivik is still waiting for his day in the sun, so we'll give it.

For those who do not remember him, Tivik appeared at the beginning of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (where he was shown by actor Daniel Mace). The "Starwells War" Universe is full of fascinating lateral charactersHowever, Tivik found itself in the rear streets of the Cafen Ring, an asteroid -based environment. There, he was waiting for Cassian (Diego Luna) in order to give him information about the super-weapon he heard while Roaming saw Erera's hidden base (Forrest Whitaker) on Edda. This weapon is claimed to have the power to destroy the planets, so that the confirmation of its existence from several people and various sources of information was sufficient for the insurgency to understand the possibility seriously and allow Cassian to continue its investigation. This eventually brought him to the planet Scarif, where he, YNIN (Felicity Onesons), Bodie (Reese Ahmed) and many others were able to steal plans for said Super Homoples, aka the "Death Starvist".

If it were not for Tivik, however, it is likely that the rebel alliance would dismiss the rumors completely.

Unfortunately, Cassian had to shoot Tivik in the back after meeting him in the ring of Cafen. It's a move that has left a lot of people scratching their heads and wondering if Cassian is really the hero he assumed. But why did he do it?

As the storm descended on both, he and Tivik could not be alive. Cassian shot the two stormtroopers abused them because he There were to get out of there with that information. If they were led by his Scandes or identity, he would almost certainly never escape. Again, they There were to get out of there. Being caught on the deadlock on the street, there was only one route that would not have shot Cassian and Tivik or caught, and that meant to climb the pipes. With righteousness to Cassian, he did not seem to have noticed Tivik's broken hand until she revealed it from behind his jacket. It left Cassian with a divided second decision to make.

For Cassian, the calculation was morally heavy (as evidenced by the appearance of the face after the shooting Tivik), but operatively simple. Tivik was obviously confidential contact, and Cassian did not enter the meeting with the intention of killing him. Tivik also could not escape because of the broken hand and, under no circumstances could Cassian catch him from the imperial. Cassian knew what happened to someone last time they had information about him - Imperials tortured Bix Cullen (Adria Aryona) for weeks for the information they wanted, As Anddor reveals season 1.

If Tivik told the Empire, he conveyed information about weapons killing a planet in rebels like Cassian, the Empire had nothing to hunt him, trying to find a weakness at the station impossible. So, operatively, Cassian had no choice. He had to leave the imperials cold trace if the mission crashes the death Starwar anything a chance to succeed.

The result is haunting, frightening moment and maybe One of the best in the whole saga "War of Starwives". But that is an argument for a different time.

Tivik's name is considered a little during the last episode of the season 2 "Andr" (and the show as a whole). General Draven (Alistair Petri) is nervous because Tivik sent a message to the rebels insisting he has an extremely important and urgent Intel ... but Cassian is just the person to give him.

This is disturbing to the general for several reasons. First, Cassian was just limited to his quarters for not following orders - again. Hence, the general is not sure he can trust Cassian. He is trying to see if Tivik will be ready to send his information to the rebels or whether he would be ready to talk to someone else, but Tivik is persistent.

This fact actually makes its final destination more and more amazing. If he insisted on Cassian, this is because he did not believe anyone else. When someone is involved in Spycraft, they want to talk to the people they trust, ie. those with whom they have. They do this only to be able to protect themselves from shooting in the back. It was just his bad luck that his information was so explosive, and the situation was so serious that Cassian had no choice.

The information about Twik was left, and threads that Luten Rael (Stellan Scarsgard) and his assistant Claya Marquie (Elizabeth Dulau) left the rebels to investigate to find out about the mortal star that killed a planet, were tantalized and intertwined. If Tivik had to speak only with Cassian, General Draven should have only one choice. So he persuaded Senator Bale Organ (Benjamin Brother) to let Cassian chase the lead and head to the Cafen ring.

In the end, Tivik gave his life to the man he trusted to convey that information. In the end, he paid the same price as many others who tried to destroy the mortal starvet, including Cassian. "Rogue One" has a complicated end, Similar to that of Andor Season 2 And they both hit hard.

Tivik was not the first time Cassian Andor has been forced to shoot contact at the back. If someone watched both seasons at Andor first and Then Watch "Rogue One", someone would be aware of the danger inherent in Tivik's meeting in a way that wouldn't be if you only watched "Rogue One".

Indeed, we see that Cassian shoots someone in the back of his first bow of the Andor season. Later, when Cassian and Bix are staying in Luten Coruskant's security house in season 2, they argue over whether it is right or not Cassian to record contact. Cassian claims that the contact saw their faces and he had no choice. He further rationalizes that this is the only way to keep both safe and ensure their path to remain cold.

Everything in Cassian's rationalizations for Bix refers to what had to go through his mind as he shot Tivik at Rogue One. Whatever you listen to Cassian, he explains to BIX things, however, it's almost like he rationalizes it for himself.

Mace, for his part, thought it was very likely his appearance as Tivik would end up on the floor of the cutting room. "It was an incredible day," he said Yahoo movies UK While he promoted his movie "Fisherman's Friends" in 2019. "I was on the remainder.

He explained that he had a lot of experience in the "Rogue One" set and was thrilled by the fact that he had to act opposite Stormtroopers. That and, like many fans, he found the film as one of the best films "War on the Starwells" so far.

"I was absolutely as a fan," he told Yahoo. "I love the" Starwalks War "and so my son, so that was the coldest thing I could say, in the sense of telling my son the news. But I loved it. "

The whole "Andor" and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" are currently moving to Disney+.
