As a seasoned Star Wars enthusiast and someone who has followed the saga’s characters through thick and thin, I find myself intrigued by the evolving dynamics between Dedra and Syril in the upcoming season of Andor. The power imbalance and potential romantic entanglements are reminiscent of a classic cat-and-mouse game, with each character holding secrets that could topple the other’s world.

The passionate fanbase of the Star Wars franchise is known for being difficult to satisfy, even disregarding the vocal “anti-progressive” group. Lately, the discord among fans has escalated significantly, with a wave of vitriolic comments directed at Amandla Stenberg in her role on The Acolyte and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy admitting she needs to shut out fan feedback to focus while working on New Jedi Order. It’s quite unexpected, then, that Andor – the underdog Star Wars series with a diverse cast centered around a character from one film who eventually meets his end – is enjoying widespread approval.

After its first season, Andor leaves fans with much to contemplate. Set just prior to Rogue One, this series provides a detailed perspective on the everyday Rebel heroes who are not Force-sensitive. It stands out as the most mature offering within the franchise, fearlessly portraying the Empire’s oppressive and colonialist tactics, and delving into the authentic aspects of these characters’ connections and personal lives.

Among the captivating personalities gracing Andor are Dedra Meero and Syril Karn. Despite their roles as imperial antagonists, these characters exhibit a depth that is not commonly found in such roles. This complexity, coupled with subtle hints and foreshadowing beyond the series’ narrative, has sparked intrigue among viewers, leading to speculation that perhaps one of them may switch sides and join the Rebellion in Andor Season 2.

2023 saw TikTok user mara.j.skywalker share her thoughts on some intriguing possibilities: Firstly, she speculates that a character may join the Rebellion and secondly, she believes Syril could be the one to make this move. To start with, a scene featuring Cassian and Syril in a sewer hints at a potential partnership between them, which might suggest they’ll collaborate in the future. Furthermore, Syril appears to be driven by a strong sense of justice rather than a desire for power or control. As he uncovers the Empire’s disregard for delivering justice and instead focusing on amassing complete authority, it’s likely that his dissatisfaction with the Empire will grow.

She muses over the possibility that disillusionment could develop between Dedra and Syril as their bond strengthens. Given Dedra’s position in the ISB and their inherent personal differences, it’s plausible they may explore a romantic relationship. However, Dedra’s unwillingness to surrender control might reveal aspects of her character (and the Empire) that could disenchant Syril.

During Disney’s D23 event, some exciting updates were shared about the second season of Andor, with Cassian actor Diego Luna hinting that Season 2 will redefine your perspective on Rogue One. Kyle Soller also spoke to Esquire regarding these revelations, including the additions of Orson Krennic (played by Ben Mendelsohn) and K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) to the cast from Rogue One.

“Soller shared that as we return for this new season, there will be significant time jumps covering the full five years leading up to ‘Rogue One’. This means an incredible expansion of events within the universe of ‘Andor’, and also in the life of Syril.

Soller’s reference to growth within Syril’s realm mirrors the popular fan theory suggesting his character develops beyond his initial antagonistic role. As for Dedra, while there appears to be stronger evidence pointing towards Syril, this Reddit discussion highlights certain aspects of her story and personality that make her a potential defector as well.

It’s clear that anyone who watched the first season of Andor understands the significant impact losing her could have on the Empire in the context of the original trilogy. The Empire needs to maintain a sense of danger for the Rebellion not to gain too much advantage. Unfortunately, the release date for Season 2 of Andor has been pushed back from August 2024 to around January 2025, with an exact date still undecided. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, don’t forget to catch up on Season 1 of Andor on Disney+. In other related news, LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, featuring Mark Hamill, Gaten Matarazzo, and Ahmed Best, is set to premiere on Disney+ on Sept. 13.
