Andor – Season 2 Episode 12 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Jedha, Kyber, Erso Episode 12 of Andor season 2 starts with Kleya and Andor arguing about leaving the apartment. Despite the Empire after them and K-S20 doing what he can to buy them time, the pair go back and forth, which only works in the Empire's favour. Does Kleya leave with the rebels? Andor blasts the radio while they're in here, but on the way out his comrade, Melshi, is spotted by soldiers. He rushes back into the apartment as ISB close in on the trio. Thankfully, they do have K-S20 to help them out, which is probably just as well given the agents throw a stun grenade and knock out Kleya. As gunshots rain down, K-S20 turns the tide single-handedly, killing the squad of soldiers and catching up with Cassian and the others. The group leave the planet after scooping up Kleya, and fly away before reinforcements can close in. What's happening with the rebels? Meanwhile the rebellion is at loggerheads. Saw is on Jedha and refusing to listen to Mon Mothma and the others, even with an Imperial Star Destroyer circling their location. He's reckless, carrying out risky operations that the group are worried will compromise their entire situation. In the middle of this squabbling though, Andor's ship closes in on Yavin. They're rushing and are eventually given an escort as they touch down. Draven is there to greet Andor and the others, as Kleya is rushed off for medical attention. Andor rushes to the council where he has big news about the Death Star, which he feeds back to the central pillars of the rebellion leadership. This includes Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and Admiral Raddus. What does Andor decide to do? Despite the urgency of this news, it's met with scepticism from the rebels. Mon wants to believe Andor though, but given what they've all been through, it's a tough play. Kleya recovers from her wounds, although she's not particularly happy that the rebels don't believe in her intel, while we learn that Tivik has sent three urgent messages from Kafrene in the past ten hours. Whatever he knows, it's big and he'll only speak to Cassian about it. General Draven gets K-S20 out of custody, and speaks to our titular character. He goes on to reveal that Tivik is on Kafrene until tomorrow but while he's concerned that this could be a big trap, Andor is willing to go all the same. How does Andor season 2 end? In a rare glimpse of the cracks in the Empire's reign, Partagaz loses faith in all this and decides to shoot himself, seeing the writing on the wall given the continued spread of the rebellion voices. Partagaz knows he's also to blame for the messy situation involving Dedra, given he's to be escorted to a 'meeting', so he takes the cowardly way out. As we soon find out, Dedra is still in custody, thrown onto a prison planet (possibly Narkina 5 but it could be another just like it), while the rebellion efforts continue to Death Star's construction however, continues to dwarf all of this. As the episode closes out, we cut across to the peaceful Mina-Rau where Bix has given birth to her child and awaits Andor's return. The Episode Review So the finale for Andor bridges the gap to Rogue One's story as we see our characters all taking their definitive stands and preparing for the big rebellion effort to take down the Empire. The final episode works reasonably well to set up the wheels of motion into play, and while there's not much in the way of outright action and drama, it does work well as a swansong before Rogue One and then the original trilogy takes over. The show has definitely picked up steam in the second half, most notably through last week's excellent triple bill of episodes, eventually leading into this final trio of chapters. Its been far from perfect but this is still the best Star Wars that Disney have produced.

Andor – Season 2 Episode 11'Who Else Knows?' Recap & Review
Who Else Knows? Episode 11 of Andor season 2 starts with Imperials showing up at the hospital and looking over the carnage. The current thinking here is that there were three attackers, working as a team to take out the soldiers and get to Luthen. The evidence the ISB have obtained comes from the scale of attack and the fact that there's no witnesses either. Well, that is until they check the surveillance footage of the area. The hospital director, Recklaw, is not happy. He hits out at the Empire, until he finds out that this is now a crime scene and obstructing said crime scene could go very badly for him. So naturally, he begrudgingly leaves the Empire to their devices. All of this messiness is on Dedra though, who's interrogated by the Imperials and, in particular, Orson Krennic. Krennic believes should could be a mole and her connection to Jung is a problem, whom she now learns had security clearance to sniff around her personal files. Krennic is livid, especially as they've found – among other classified files – two years worth of Jedha Working Group printouts. This thread has given Jung reason to talk to Luthen, but Dedra explains her actions. She's loyal to the Empire through and through, bringing up how there's a Partisan spy mentioned within the Jedha read-outs which happens to be a valet for the local Moff. She questioned him and the guy, in turn, lead her to Luthen's store. Dedra believes they need to go after Kleya next, given she too will know Luthen's secrets, but Krennic ignores her and keeps the woman in custody. Over at the hospital, the ISB watch security footage of Kleya leaving, making her public enemy number 1. The noose is tightening around her, especially as the security forces trace every step. While this is going on, Kleya manages to salvage her radio equipment, sending out a distress signal in morse code across to Yavin, needing assistance to be saved. Over on Yavin, Wilmon is the one who receives the signal and he immediately lets Cassian know, who's currently hanging with K-S20 who has been patched up and playing cards. Some of the rebels are concerned that this could be a trap and try to talk him around, but Andor refuses to listen and heads to the signal's origin. Unfortunately, the Empire also catch wind of the signal too, checking the broadcast frequency and closing in on Kleya's location. Time is very much of the essence here, especially as stormtroopers track down the apartment, just as Andor touches down and heads out to get her. Andor gets there first, where Kleya tells him what she knows about the superweapon. He knows they can't stay here though, and encourages her to head out to Yavin. Kleya isn't sure whether this is a good move though, and as they bicker back and forth, soldiers close in on their location. The Episode Review So the penultimate episode of Andor starts to deepen the ties, with Kleya sending out this distress signal so she can tell Andor and the others about the superweapon but only when they arrive. She's in a difficult spot here because she's Wanted across the planet and given the public warrant out for her, she's got no choice but to hang at the apartment, alone. The one thing here that's handled really well though is the irony around Dedra's character. She's ultimately her own downfall, with the delivery of the Death Star plans moving to Jung then Luthen and Kleya. Given how she's the perfect product of the Empire – raised and born for this life and loyal through and through – it's quite funny to see her as the one responsible for its ultimate undoing. Everything here is left wide open for the finale though, which promises to bridge the gap leading up to Rogue One.
