It's looking like Andor season 2 could make a grim reveal about a harrowing event in the Star Wars timeline. We know the Ghormans are going to feature in the show, and now there's reason to believe their presence could be part of a particularly dark twist.
A preview for Andor season 2 on Disney Plus includes Ghorman people, and there's an edit indicating Imperial forces targeting them. The implication is that we’re going to see the Ghorman Massacre, where the Empire ruthlessly murders thousands of protestors in order to stamp out local militias and potential insurgency.
A user on Reddit posits that Luthen Rael, and possibly Saw Guerrera, will be part of what instigates the violence on Ghorman. They'll add fuel to the fire to cause something so devastating, it pushes more people towards the Rebellion, particularly Mon Mothma and some other disparate groups.
This'll see Saw and Luthen banished from the ranks of the Rebel Alliance, feeding into their positions as of Rogue One. It's a scary idea, but plausible in terms of the political landscape. Showrunner Tony Gilroy hasn't shied away from using Andor to dig right into the political landscape of Star Wars between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
The show depicts how this environment makes people desperate and pushes them to make choices they wouldn’t normally. However the Ghorman Massacre goes down, it'll always be a memorably dour moment in a galaxy far, far away.
Andor season 2 kicks off on April 22 in the US and April 23 in the UK. Have a look at our guide to all the new Star Wars movies and TV shows for what else a long, long time ago has to offer.
