‘Andor’: Genevieve O’Reilly & EP Tony Gilroy Talk [Spoiler]’s Death, Mon’s Big Speech & the Ghorman Massacre
- The Ghorman Massacre took place shortly before the events of the Battle of Yavin, depicting Imperial troops firing on peaceful demonstrators during Andor Season 2.
- The protest was orchestrated as a trap by ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero to provoke violence and eliminate dissidents including the rebel Cassian Andor.
- During the event, Dedra narrowly escaped assassination by Cassian, who was later caught by Syril, but Syril was killed by Carro Rylanz before he could deliver justice.
- Executive producer Tony Gilroy and composer Nick Britell collaboratively created a national anthem sung on the plaza before the massacre, capturing the rebellious spirit of Ghorman.
- Mon Mothma, portrayed by Genevieve O'Reilly, delivered a powerful denunciation of the Empire following Ghorman, marking a pivotal moment in the rebel movement's escalation.
