This post contains spoilers For Andor Season 2, Episode 8.

One of the most terrible moments during the Gurman massacre in Andor's latest bow comes when the imperials released the full compliment of the imperial safety of the KX series in the crowd. They crunch through the riots like the incredible Hulk, breaking them as if they were nothing and throw them for rag dolls. They held up to the end of the riots as a secret weapon and were considered a final punishment. Treated as monsters in horror film, they appear to be unstoppable and appear from behind the corners, ready for attack.

Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) had no best droid experiences And it seems close to dying in the hands of one, but is preserved in the last minute of one of the rebels in Gurman, leading faster in it, cutting the object in half by shaking it in Wallid.

We get the idea that this could be K-2, a possible Pal of Cassian, which was expressed by Alan TudikBut there was another story of the origin of both of you in Canon that did not fit this introduction, so what happened?

In 2017, Marvel Comics released a one-time comic called "Starwells War: Cassian and K-2o-Special #1." It is detailed Cassian and Kay's first meeting, set before the events of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". In the comic book, Cassian Andor joins a pair of twins named Kertas and Rismore, and they are tasked with discovering imperial security protocols to help their work as rebel spies. In the process of that infiltration, Cassian attracted the alarm and attracted the attention of the imperial security of the KX series, and needed Kertas and Rismore to find their murder switch to rescue him.

The three of them worked feverish to reprogram Droid, believing they would be able to help them complete their mission to find imperial protocols, but that did not go according to the plan. K-2, as he reveals that his name is, he would still want to bring them very much while deleting his imperial programming, but becomes less hostile because they are destroying more and more than his memory banks. When the team is forced to split, Cassian is left with K-2 and a pair of them pause for it, finding a boat and escaping. They head back to the rebel base, after forging a new one, if not somewhat antagonistic, the relationship we see in the film.

The comic was good, but not many people read it and did not tie it to much.

Tony Gilroy and his writing team saw a better way to do the job and went to this series of the series. With a much larger audience watching "Andor" than those who read comics, it made sense to offer both the two on the screen. And the story of the comic really did not match the dramatic tension of the show. With the imperial security Duids who break up with Gormian rebels and Cassian at hand to witness it, it was not in the idea of ​​seeing the possibilities of having one of those of his owns. When there was a lying legs, cut in half and turned off, it made sense to take with it. The intelligent potential of the closed Droid would be great, even if it could not work again. And that became the new beginning of a beautiful connection between Cassian Andor and K-2o.

Yes, she fully prescribes the history of fans of the "Starwalks War" considered a canon. Is that the end of the world, however, if the better story wins? I wonder how these two stories can take place with each other, and it's easy to think that comic book is a cover story. In a world of espionage, myths, lies and covers, it would be easy to think that if someone asked Cassian about what happened, he could make a story light enough. Why not let the comic book be one of those stories that someone can say?

Giving the "war on the Starwells" is a unified canon. It is crucial to know what to take into account for the creatives, but when you have a show -Show like Tony Gilroy to shoot all cylinders and tell him that he can't tell the best possible story because of a comic book that has read very few people, it is better to make some excuses or reasons comic strip can become secondary. I am glad that people in Lucasfilm are reasonable about this and do not do it very often. Usually, what we get are slightly different versions that vary according to their medium that are light enough to raise them to interpretation.

Whatever we need to say about this, we need, because what we got on the screen was pretty amazing and I would trade the comic book every day of the week. If I have to tell myself, the comic book was a cover story, Casian, once, to justify it all is still a unified canon to do it, I will do it.

"Andor" season 2 It ends with the final with three episodes next week at Disney+.
