SPOILERS WARNING!

*we mention one of the key moments at the end of the first season of ‘Andor’If you haven’t seen 1×12, don’t read on!

This Wednesday, November 23, Disney+ released the twelfth and final chapter of the first season of ‘Andor’. The prequel series to ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ follows the life of Cassian Andor, a petty thief who ends up becoming one of the most important figures in the Rebellion against the Empire. The season finale of the series starring Diego Luna He made a lot of noise on social media due to a theory concerning the death of one of his most important characters during chapter 11, titled ‘Ferrix’s Daughter’.

In this episode, the death of Maarva (Fiona Shaw), Cassian’s adoptive mother during the series, takes place.. Maarva falls ill and ends up dying, forcing our protagonist to return to Ferrix, his hometown, for the burial of his mother. Well, although apparently it may seem quite clear and definitive death, the theory of a fan who questioned this death has gained special strength on the Internet in the last few hours.

According to this user, it was all a strategy by Cassian to get Maarva out of Ferrix, where she was facing severe oppression.. However, the theory had little impact, since according to Screenrant, the showrunner of the series, Tony Gilroy, has denied this information: “Oh I know. I’ve seen that theory. I love that theory. I saw someone say, “Oh my God, she’s not dead.” They snuck her out of there. It’s how Cassian managed to free her, while the others think she’s dead.’ And I was like, ‘Wow, this is a viable idea’ but that’s not what we’re doing”.

Therefore, we will have to prepare now for the domino effect that the loss of this character will cause in the series. Maarva, who has played a key role within his community, has left a pre-recorded message for the people of Ferrix. In it, he encourages them to continue their opposition and take action against the Empire, thus starting a revolt. As expected, this message plays a huge role in Cassian’s decision to take a real role in the rebellion after his mother’s death..

Luna wanted to thank all the members of the series for their involvement in it at the end of the first season. For this, the actor posted the following message through his Instagram account.
