    I 100% thought it would be Vel that dies on Ghorman instead of Cinta, with Mon telling Luthen that she’s worried about her cousin, and her running off after the driver. I wonder if we’ll find out what her accident was.

    Happy for Bix finally getting her revenge. Hopefully it did feel like forever before he died.

    The bug extraction felt way more tense than the Ghorman heist, even though you can tell from early which one will go wrong and which one will be successful.

    There are too many people left to kill off in the next two arcs, excited to see how it will happen. I’m assuming that, out of the main “good” guys, only Mon, Bail, Cassian and Saw (and his cell, potentially minus Wilmon) are guaranteed to make it out of the series alive.

      I think the next arc (tomorrow night) is going to heavily feature the Ghorman Massacre.

      We know from Rebels and elsewhere that the Ghorman Massacre was a massive event that really kicked off the Rebellion as a public entity and force against the Empire. We know the Ghorman Massacre is what spurred Mon Mothma to out herself public as a leader of the Rebellion. After the Massacre she gives a big public speech that’s broadcast across the universe declaring the Rebellion to Restore the Republic and calling everyone to join. This is when she quits the Senate and goes Rebel full-time. We also know the Ghorman Massacre happens in 2 BBY, which is when the next arc takes place.

      I believe both Vel and Luthen will die in the next arc. I think Vel’s death is what will spur Mon to quit the Senate and go public. It’ll be the thing that proves to Mon that trying to work behind the scenes and still play politics is a wasted effort. But I also think that Mon and Luthen will have a major split over how to deal with the Ghorman Massacre. I think somehow Luthen will die (not by Mon, maybe Syril will get some intelligence that leads Dedra to Luthen?) and Luthen’s death will demand someone step up to take his place at the head of the Rebellion. That’s when Mon will issue her speech.

        The only reason why I don’t think this is the case is that Cinta has no reason to hide it from Vel, since they saw each other right before she left with Tay. “Maybe I’ll tell you someday” implies to me that it’s a different incident.

      If Vel dies, it’s probably going to be at the hands of Luthen. Everyone is just a soldier to him, and once she’s no longer useful and more of a liability, he would drop her. It would create a conflict for Mon, being very close to her cousin, and funding Luthen, to have it result in Vel getting killed.

          I guess we’ll see, but I can’t imagine she’d want to ever work with them again because of what happened to Cinta, and probably the lack of heavy hitters like Andor and Vel is what allows the Ghorman Massacre to happen?
