Thinking of Rogue One Cassian Andor. Mon’s message to Draven is so heartbreaking. My beloved spy.
General,
Your request to assign Captain Andor to Operation Fracture is approved.
I have never doubted Captain Andor’s abilities or his dedication to the rebel movement. He is truly one of our best and brightest, and I trust his judgment on his mission.
I am concerned about him, however. I understand that for our rebel movement to survive, brave men and women must do terrible things that we’d rather not talk about. But what happens to those men and women afterward? Are we doing enough to help them live with what they’ve had to do? Do we encourage them when they feel guilty? Comfort them when they can’t sleep? And do we notice when they stop feeling guilty? When they no longer lose sleep?
Captain Andor has been a rebel fighter his entire life. You say this with pride, and I’m sure he would, too. But it worries me. If we succeed and overthrow the Empire, what kind of life will someone like Captain Andor have?
Mon Mothma.
