In Andor Season 2, Episode 8, the origin of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's iconic line - "Rebellions are built on hope" - is revealed through a conversation between Cassian Andor and a Ghorman hotel worker named Thela. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Ghorman Massacre, an event that deeply impacts Cassian and the burgeoning Rebellion.
The line, initially spoken by Thela to Cassian, becomes a rallying cry for the Rebellion. The same is later echoed by Cassian himself and Jyn Erso, encapsulating the spirit of hope amidst the oppressive Galactic Empire. This origin adds layers to Cassian's character and underscores the grassroots nature of the Rebellion, highlighting the sacrifices and the unwavering belief in a better future that fuels the fight for freedom.
The prequel series Andor explores the infectious spread of ideas as the Rebellion takes shape. Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna, is central to this evolution.
Many Star Wars fans believed Cassian adopted the phrase from a mentor, and Andor Season 2 confirms this in a way.
Andor Season 2 focuses on the decline of the planet Ghorman with the Empire using propaganda to degrade the planet's reputation.
The Ghorman Front, a rising rebel cell, grows increasingly defiant. Episode 8 shows Imperial forces staging a massacre disguised as a Ghorman insurrection.
Cassian returns to Ghorman to assassinate ISB supervisor Dedra Meero. Luthen Rael and Wilmon Paak have tried to involve Cassian in the Ghorman struggle. Cassian supports the Ghorman’s efforts to restore their freedom. He tells this to Thela, a Ghorman local and hotel worker.
Cassian checks into the same hotel under a different alias as the Empire has increased security in the Ghorman capital.
Thela promises to keep Cassian’s cover as long as possible. Cassian wishes him good luck.
“I hope things work out for you,” he tells Thela.
Thela responds with a familiar phrase. “Rebellions are built on hope.”
Andor season 2 just showed the origins of one of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s best and most inspirational lines. Andor season 2, episodes 7, 8, and 9 finally showed the Ghorman Massacre and its fallout on Rebel Alliance leaders like Mon Mothma.
With only three episodes left in Andor season 2, audiences can start expecting to see more direct connections to Rogue One. The episodes focusing on the Ghorman Massacre also gave more connections to the film, especially with the reprogramming of K-2SO.
