It looks like a key Star Wars event mentioned in Rebels will be shown in Andor season 2

A new look at Andor season 2 has been released on Disney Plus, and it seems to show a seismic moment on the Star Wars timeline.

In the featurette, which is available on the streamer now and is titled Andor Season 2: A Special Look, we see protestors identified by the subtitles as Ghorman. We then see the Imperial Dedra, who coldly orders "proceed." It certainly looks as if this is the infamous Ghorman Massacre, which is a massive turning point for Mon Mothma and the Rebellion.

The Ghorman Massacre, as the name suggests, saw protestors slaughtered by stormtroopers. In the aftermath, Mon Mothma made a strident speech against the Emperor, condemning him as a "lying executioner" – this moment is seen in Star Wars Rebels season 3, episode 18, and, later in the episode, Mon Mothma resigns from the Senate and helps to unite the Rebellion.
