Andor makes me long for a place like Yavin here on Earth.

MODERATORS
This is a disconnect between Andor and other Disney properties. In Rebels we find out Bail Organa has been funding and coordinating his own rebel outfit for essentially the entire reign of the Empire. Andor presents him and Mothma as naive, idealistic politicians and that's okay because it feels more realistic. However it conflicts with Disney's lore.
Rebels lore is almost all ignored for Andor, which is okay because it's a silly cartoon. But Luthen has a lot of overlap with Fulcrum from Rebels (even a similar codename), who Bail worked closely with.
I really don't think this is incongruous, Bail and Mon just don't tell each other what they're doing. why would they? the fact that Alderan is funding and supporting the rebellion is literally in Star Wars 1.
also andor has a line referencing the rebels version of rescuing mon mothma in the actual show, as i understand it
I love that in Princess of Alderaan, set well before Andor, we have Bail upset that Saw's assassination of the Moff of Naboo nearly killed Leia, and his wife Breha is like "don't be a bitch, Saw is doing good work, we put weapons out there to be used, we don't get to pick who the collateral is"
Yes that was another awkward overlap between Rebels and Andor. They both have a plot of rescuing Mothma and she does a big speech. It felt odd in Andor when they said "she's doing another speech" off screen till I remembered.
And I was saying the way Andor presented Bail was as somewhat naive, with his own team being compromised by the ISB. I don't think it's a major flaw in the show, it's okay for different creators to have different artistic interpretations.
Her assistant guy is from the Rebels episode as well. I am so glad I forgot that, cause I was unsure the entire time if he was a traitor or would get got. Knowing he would be on the Ghost 24 hours later would've made it less fun
I'll take your word for it. No way im gonna watch that stuff
