It was interesting to see that the internal family strife within Commandant’s Jayhold Beehaz’s family. His wife and son clearly don’t care for his position. There are other signs from some of the other troopers indicating internal unrest about their post. Are these possible seeds of Rebellion?
Every mission will usually have something unexpected happen. Training and planning help maximize the chances for mission success when things appear to unexpectedly break down. The Rebels mission broke down at two points. First when they first entered the dam and the Imperial engineer decided to be brave resulting in his death. Second, when the comm’s officer finally realized there was a problem and walked in on the ending stages of the heist. The resulting battle cost the lives of Taramyn Barcona, Lieutenant Gorn and eventually Karis Nemik.
Arvel Skeen showed his true colors. He used Nemik’s need for medical attention to attempt to steal the heist for himself. He lied about his origins. He intended to take the payroll for himself but he didn’t account for the fact that Cassian Andor has a code. Andor did the job he was hired to do. He wasn’t going to allow the sacrifices of the Rebel cell go unrewarded. Cassian’s quick draw rewarded Skeen’s betrayal.
80 million credits stolen in one night will reverberate throughout the galaxy. It will be the spark that lights the fire. How will the Imperials respond? Will we see Cinta and Vel again? Where will Cassian go? Six more episodes to go!
