Even though the final episodes of Andor predictably set the foundation for the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the Disney+ show still ends with some stunning surprises. Sure, we always knew that Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), K-2SO (Alan Tudyk), Melshi (Duncan Pow), and even Alistair Petrie‘s General Draven would survive Andor. (They all appear in Rogue One, duh.) Still, we didn’t know what showrunner Tony Gilroy had in store for Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona), Dedra Meero (Denise Gough), Vel (Faye Marsay), Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau), and the rest of Andor‘s stellar ensemble cast.

That is, we didn’t know until we got to binge Andor Season 2 Episodes 10, 11, and 12.

**Spoilers for all of Andor Season 2, now streaming on Disney+**

The final three episodes of Andor reveal the ultimate, tragic fates of Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and Dedra Meero, while also leaving fans feeling the glorious glow of hope. Moreover, Andor Season 2 Episode 10 kicks off the chain of events that ultimately leads to Cassian Andor leading the fateful mission to steal the Death Star plans in Rogue One. We learn how the Rebellion first heard about Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), why Cassian was so cavalier killing Tivik (Daniel Mays) in his original character introduction, and how all of the characters we’ve met in Andor tie into the larger tapestry of Star Wars.

So who lives, who dies, and who has a surprise baby they don’t know about? Here’s everything you need to know about the end of Andor on Disney+…

Andor Season 2 Episode 10 opens with Luthen Rael learning from long-time ISB informant Lonni Jung (Robert Emms) how the atrocities on Ghorman and Jedha, the Narkina workcamps, and other blights in the universe are all related. The Empire is building a super weapon called the Death Star. Even though Lonni is desperate for protection, Luthen understands this intel is too big. He kills Lonni himself rather than jeopardize the cause.

While he and Kleya make moves to get this information off-world — with Luthen beginning the work destroying their top secret communications system — Dedra Meero pops in the antiques store. She giddily identifies Luthen as “AXIS,” the nexus of Rebel activity for years. However, Dedra has moved too fast on Luthen. He attempts to die by suicide, stabbing himself with an antique knife on display in the shop.

The rest of Andor Season 2 Episode 10 is a deft look at not only how Luthen defected from Imperial service years earlier and raised a young Kleya (April V. Woods) to be a Rebel operative, but also the lengths he and Kleya are willing to go for the Rebellion.

Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy explained that they pushed Luthen and Kleya’s backstory as far back as possible, debating whether “that whole episode would be standalone or would it be integrated with some other story points.”

“The other big question mark is can we find a young Kleya who can deliver what is really a very complicated, very complicated idea?” Gilroy said. “Which is that, the young girl is actually the dominant one. She’s actually in control.”

“Luthen’s not in control. Otherwise, it runs some risks, that you can imagine, of manipulation. You really had to find and design those scenes really carefully and then find a girl who could really believably bring the steel that older Kleya has.”

Although Luthen has stabbed himself, the Empire keeps him on life support in the hopes that they can revive him, torture him, and extract information on the Rebellion from him. Kleya embarks on a one-woman “rescue mission.” She infiltrates the hospital where Luthen is being held and takes him off life support, killing her father figure for the greater good.

Kleya escapes to the same safehouse that Andor and Bix briefly shared and uses a hidden transmitter to reach out to Wilmon (Muhannad Bhaier) on Yavin IV. He brings her distress signal to Cassian, prompting him, Melshi, and K-2SO to defy Rebel Alliance orders to hijack a ship and head to Coruscant.

What no one knows is that the Empire was able to save part of Luthen and Kleya’s communication hub. Enough that they figure out where Kleya is hiding. Cassian and Melshi arrive at the safe house just as the Empire springs its trap, cutting comms in the area, and storming the high rise.

Kleya gives Cassian the intel they’ve learned, a seemingly nonsensical message linking Ghorman, Jedha, Scarif, Galen Erso, and a super weapon. While Cassian works to convince Kleya that she can come back with them to Yavin — a place Luthen was never welcome — K-2SO sees the Imperials entering the building. There’s eventually a tense, violent standoff in the building where Cassian, Melshi, and Kleya only survive thanks to K-2SO’s arrival.

Meanwhile, Dedra’s total failure with Luthen has put her on Director Orson Krennic’s (Ben Mendelsohn) shit list. He has realized that her obsession with hoarding intel has delivered information on the Death Star to the Rebels. After a horrifying interrogation, it seems that Dedra will likely follow her manager, Partagaz (Anton Lesser), to an early grave. (Partagaz chooses to die by suicide rather than face Vader.) Instead, the end of Andor reveals that Dedra winds up interred in the same prison system that Cassian and Melshi escaped in Season 1.

“I think once we got our hands on the Narkina prison system, her fate was sealed,” Tony Gilroy said with a chuckle. “I was like, ‘You know what? Narkina’s worse than death, I think.'”

Back on Yavin IV, the head of the Rebel Alliance questions whether or not Kleya’s intel is legit. Kleya is allowed to come to Yavin, but Luthen’s ruthless reputation precedes him. At the same time, Cassian is told that one of his informants in Saw Gerrera’s (Forest Whitaker) camp is freaking out. Cassian’s arc in Andor ends with him planning to go to Kafrene to meet with Tivik.

This dovetails perfectly with the beginning of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Cassian will meet the panicked Tivik on Kafrene, get confirmation that Jedha is connected to Galen Erso and a “planet killer,” and return to Yavin. (Oh, yeah, he’ll kill Tivik rather than let the intel get back to the Empire — this is all in Rogue One.)

What Cassian doesn’t know, however, is the eventual fate of his lover, Bix. The end of Andor Season 2 reveals that Bix has returned to life on the farms of Mina-Rau. There, she lives with B2EMO and her infant child by Cassian.

“I wanted to have something hopeful at the end of this. We’re punishing a lot of people in this show,” Tony Gilroy said of Bix’s baby. “We know where he’s going and I really, I would be bereft if there was not a candle in the window at the end of this thing.”

“It also magnifies Cassian’s tragedy, really. The child that he doesn’t even know about or ever meet or know what he’s missing.”

Cassian, of course, will die stealing the Death Star plans, thus sacrificing his life to save the galaxy.

Dying to know what happens next to Cassian, Mon Mothma, and all their Rebel friends? Well, sadly, there will not be another season of Andor.

Andor Season 2 is the final season of the critically-acclaimed Star Wars show.

Originally, the plan was to make five seasons of the show, but once Tony Gilroy and Diego Luna realized how much work went into one season, they decided five seasons was untenable. Luna joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live: “I cannot fire a blaster for another ten years.”

However, Andor Season 2 isn’t the end of the story. As we mentioned, the events of the Andor Season 2 finale lead directly into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which you can stream on Disney+. Oh, and that movie ends right at the start of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. So you can use Andor’s end to go all the way back to the beginning of Star Wars.
