The Andor season finale airs tomorrow, and it’s safe to say fans are hyped. The show has been treated as the second coming by the fanbase, many of whom seem outright bewildered that Star Wars is actually good again.
There are many reasons to praise Andor, from the beautiful cinematography, astonishing cast, strong thematic and political messaging, and excellent score. But, for many, there’s one character who stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Yup, we’re talking Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen. This mysterious figure is at the heart of the Rebellion in its earliest days, covering his activities by posing as a dandyish antique dealer. But under the wig, he’s a ruthless and talented operative willing to do whatever it takes to hurt the Empire. Oh, and he might be a Jedi in hiding.

Perhaps this show should be retitled Luthen instead:
With Andor receiving near-universal praise, we’re expecting Disney and Lucasfilm to make a big awards season push. Here’s hoping Skarsgård gets some acting nominations, as he richly deserves recognition for making Luthen the single best new Star Wars character in years (if not decades).
The Andor season finale airs tomorrow on Disney Plus.
