Forest Whitaker’s Saw Gerrera Has A Major Moment We’ve Yet To See On Screen

Fans of “Rogue One” were excited to see a less battle-scarred version of Saw Gerrera in the first season of “Andor”. This portrayal hinted at more character growth to come, before we witness the rebel extremist’s final form on Jedha. Naturally, this leaves fans curious if we will eventually uncover the battle that led to Saw Gerrera needing a breathing aid and a cybernetic leg.

Is it possible that Whitaker is hinting at a major disclosure with this? And might it be that the battle wounds on Gerrera reveal insights into the troubled psyche of one of the galaxy’s most ruthless rebels? Upon viewing the trailer for Andor Season 2, keen-eyed fans spotted an intriguing scene where Gerrera seems to converse with a soldier wearing a breathing device at the end. Considering the other Star Wars storylines unfolding concurrently, it’s reasonable to speculate that we’ll delve deeper into Gerrera’s rebellion on Jedha and uncover the series of events leading to his dependence on a pressure suit, cybernetics, and breathing aid for survival.

Certainly, it seems possible that the revelation could involve a surprising connection: perhaps Saw Gerrera is someone significant’s father. It happens that the galaxy beyond our own has a history of introducing such twists.
