Yeah that whole part of the last act makes absolutely no sense. We don't see ANY of Luthen and the alliance interacting, and suddenly the major plot is them distrusting him and saying he's "been a major thorn in our side for too long". Okay? Did you wanna show any of that or set it up at all? No? And it's about the empire building a superweapon. You're not interested in checking that out at all? And then Andor flips back and forth to fit into the Cassian-sized hole in the story whenever needed.
There was basically no explanation for any of the characters' distrust of Luthen besides what just came out of nowhere, aside from Mon, which was also a bit dumb. It made absolutely no sense for all of the revolutionaries to suddenly turn on him and be absorbed by politicians, while complaining the whole time.
Andor just kinda forgot it wanted to be a political show. Why did they put wilmon with saw in the first place? And then did nothing with, returned him and gave him a blonde gf (again) Like he does nothing.
Imagine if they used wilmon to showcase a event that causes great discord between saw and the alliance. Maybe something like an assassination of a moff from naboo?
Two blonde gfs being more relevant to his end state than huffing rhydo and throwing bombs with saw truly makes me think you’re right. Season 2 seems to have missed why people enjoyed the first one and replaced it with “palpatine, krennic, Death Star.” The curse of a gilroy’s deal with the mouse-devil
I don't think that is why thing turned out how they did. I think Gilroy wanted to use as much of his original 5 season plans but truncated. That inevitably runs into a problem, and thus the whole season feels thematically disjointed. I really wish they had re-written more and just chosen a throughline for the season. They could even do the time jumps, just don't make each arc clearly feel like a piece of a different season with different ideas going on.
