Now we are deep in the second and last season of AndorAnd things are becoming heavy. The recent wave of episodes has issued a tragic and ironic blow, the death of Syril Karn, played by Kyle Ricco.
The former Epero Paper-Pusher eventually made face to face with Cassian Andor only for Cassian for not having an idea of who he was. And so, the obsession for years of Syril did not end with the victory, but with indifference and a blaster shot in the head by the rebel local Rylanz (Richard Sammel).
Showrunner Tony Gilroy He broke the poetic puncture behind Syril’s release in a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, saying:
“It is so elementary Greek and dramatic that the thing you based on your life does not even recognize you. Everything that is built for itself has no awareness of him.
“I think he is simply amazed. He can’t even breathe at that point. There is the boy who ruined the life I was chasing for four years, and I will be like this raccoon in an relentless struggle and I will be able to kill him.
“And then, oh my God, he doesn’t even know who they are! It seemed the absolute essential sum of the life of poor Syril.”
It is a devastating microphone fall of a moment, which redefines Syril’s entire journey. For two seasons, he positioned himself as the company’s last man, clinging to order and control in the hope of reaching a twisted version of justice. But apparently, it has never been even on Cassian’s radar.
Even STRONR, who played Syril with a tense and detained intensity, weighed on his arc saying:
“I mean, those three words completely spread Syril, and nobody feels like, like nobody. He hasn’t made the difference.
“Everything was a lie. I thought maybe she would go to find a mountain somewhere just to make clothes or something. I don’t think she would exchange the sides. I don’t think she would remain to do what she was doing. I want to say, yes, it’s really a stranger.”
What makes Syril’s finale even harder is how brutally it is. There are no big clash, no final monologue, just a stunned face and a blow to the head. Syril died not as a redeemed villain or hero, but as a man who has never had as much as he thought.
In the great tragedy of AndorIt could be the most honest ending of all.
