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.
