Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

I had that thought too, but since Lonni was posthumously identified as a Rebel mole, I reckon his widow would’ve been hauled in for questioning to see if she knew anything.

I’m not sure Luthen did Lonni a service by killing him.

Yeah, Luthen just knew that Lonni wouldn't leave without his family, and there was no way to arrange for them all to escape before the ISB cracked down, and he couldn't afford for Lonni to be caught and interrogated.

Lonni may well have known on some level that this was almost certainly the case, and gone to Luthen anyway because he knew the information had to get to the rebels.

I don't know, it feels the Empire would go after Lonni's family just to prove a point, especially given he was ISB. Maybe high profile figures like Perrin could pull enough strings to escape the worse, provided they manage to distance themselves enough from whoever incurred the Empire wraith and they prove they understood the lesson, but I'm afraid Lonni's family is going to be another side casualty of the war.

They might, but they definitely would if he were on the run or a prisoner. And under the circumstances they might prefer to hush it up and sell it as a loyal Imperial brutality murdered by a rebel terrorist.

I think my favorite line is:

Tactical team agent: “Are you with us?”

K: “No.”

The reveal that he was "nothing more" than a disillusioned soldier who took a stray orphan under his wing was a bit underwhelming. I guess I'd been secretly hoping that he was something more ... not necessarily a Jedi himself but I dunno.

I think that was pretty solid. He wasn't something or someone special, but he had seen and participated in acts of inhumanity and violence he couldn't accept, an in that moment decided to not just run away, to resist, eventually rising up to setting the foundations of the Rebellion.
He's kinda the anti-Palpatine here - not someone with special gifts and guided by the force, just sheer human determination and inguniety, not for his benefit, but for those of others.

They do not. The Death Star is not orbiting Scarif when the Rogue One team show up. It only arrives after Tarkin is informed of the rebel attack on the Scarif shield generator. (The Death Star can travel through hyperspace; it's just never shown actually doing so.)

That being said, the folks on board the Millennium Falcon are not the first non-Imperials to see the Death Star and survive. It's all the Rebels who witnessed its strike on Scarif and then escaped.

When they blow up the city where saw us hiding you see the Death Star in the background as andor is flying away. They had to have seen it as it’s the size of a small moon.

Saw’s base was a considerable distance from the city, all that was visible from there was the mushroom cloud (if you happened to be looking out of one of the few windows), then the shockwave.

However, it looks like some of Saw’s people escaped. When the party entered the base their ships were parked around the entrance, but by the time they left and were picked up by K they had already gone.

No higher life forms that did not get off the planet survived. Later images show that the planet was shattered.

The explosion was blocking their view, and they jumped to hyperspace from the atmosphere, so they didn’t see it.

I want a t shirt that says I have friends everywhere.

I kinda feel like the K2 droids are so powerful that they pretty much obviate the need for any other Imperial resources. Immune to gunfire, stronger than a Terminator, can fly starships… Hoth and Endor would have been very different if the Empire had just dropped a unit of K2s in instead of all the squishy stuff they used. They’re basically Superman (except they can’t fly).

The blaster proof was a bit much. Super strong police bots ready to kill on command were terrifying before that reveal.

Are they made from the super rare Mandalorian metal?
