It’s more likely he identifies with all of them.Īs Andor continues to unfold, we’ll likely get a lot more details on how all this works. Luthen doesn’t seem to have a formal rank, and probably doesn’t directly identify with any one of the sects that Cassian mentioned. This seems to indicate that the Rebellion, in 5 BBY, is held together by people. The Alliance isn’t as organized as it will be by 0 BBY, but if there’s one person who is a nexus for that organization, it’s clearly Luthen.Īfter dropping Cassian off, we see Luthen hit up Coruscant, where he adopts a false identity in order to have sneaky conversations with Mon Mothma about the bigger picture of the Rebellion. But the truth is: everything we learn in this episode indicates that Luthen himself seems to be a vector for various sects and cells of the Rebellion. When Cassian asks Luthen which aspect of the Rebellion he’s a part of, Luthen shrugs it off. Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) in Andor Episode 4. Luthen’s true roll in the Star Wars rebel alliance And we know that Forest Whitaker is set to make an appearance as the Partisan leader Saw Gerrera in Andor at some point in a future episode. (Which happens in Season 4 of Rebels, roughly 1 BBY.) However, at this point, none of that has happened yet. By the time of Rogue One(five year years in the future of Andor) the Partisans are specifically not part of the formal Alliance and are publicly denounced by Mon Mothma. Partisan front: This refers to the group of Rebels specifically organized by Saw Gerrera. In Legends, “Urban Guerrillas” were literally a part of the special forces of the formal Rebel Alliance. However, there is a canon reference to “Urban Guerrillas” in the book Star Wars: The Rebel Files. Guerilla: Presumably, this would refer to unaffiliated insurgents fighting the Empire. Then again, “Sep” could refer to something else. Because Mon Calamar is besieged by the Empire at this point, it makes sense that some Rebels would be operating on another planet in the same system. In Legends canon, the Alliance used Sep Elopon as a base of operations, specifically in the New Jedi Order books. Sep:This is tricky, but it probably refers to the planet Sep Elopon, which was in the Calamari system. However, around 5 BBY, the Alliance hasn’t yet unified all of its cells. First off, let’s break down what each of these references means, specifically.Īlliance: This can only refer to the more formal Rebel Alliance we’re generally familiar with. In response, Luthen basically tells him it’s all the same thing, which is both true and untrue. LucasfilmĮarly in Andor Episode 4, when Cassian gets a sense of what Luthen is actually asking him to do - fight against the Empire in a deliberate way - he questions what aspect of the Rebellion his new friend is part of, asking: “Alliance, Sep, guerilla, partisan front?” Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker) speaks to Luthen (Stellan Skarsgard) in a future episode of Andor.
