Cinta's death, Vel's future of Varada Sethu explained

Spoiler alarm: This article contains spoilers for episodes 4, 5 and 6 of “Andor” season 2 and now stream on Disney+.

In the second week in a row, “Andor” killed a big character in a shocking way. This week Rebel Assassin Cinta Kaz (Varada Sethu) was accidentally shot by a Ghorman revolution during a routine attack on an imperial transport ship.

When we saw Cinta in the episodes of last week, she was covered as businessman Tay Kolma (Ben Miles) driver and killed him on the command of her rebelspymaster, Luten Rael (Stellan Skarsgård). Now the tables have turned them on, just when she and her girlfriend Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay) want to put their lives behind and wanted to concentrate on their relationship.

Cinta arrives on Ghorman to support a hasty counter mission in the management of some local revolutionaries. The empire began to lower the planet for energy and suppress the Ghormans, so that the start of the rebels attack a transport ship full of supplies. The only problem is that the Ghormans are unfortunately disorganized and unprepared. A villain viewer becomes a little too curious about what happens and gets into a dispute with a ghoran man, which causes him to accidentally firing a laser that kills Cinta. VEel is broken with a broken heart, but the mission has to be continued and it hardly gets a moment to process Cinta's death.

With Diversity, Sethu discusses the shooting in this death scene, why Cinta is like the Sensenmann, how it only has a Skythe and how her future would have been with bike if she had survived.

How was the reaction of the fans to Cinta's death?

The fans were very respectful not to spoil spoilers. There are some that comment on my Instagram page, but I just had an influx of people from people who said: “Oh my god, I can't believe that they did it to you. I'm so sorry.” It's nice to see that people took care of Cinta how I take care of them. It was really heartwarming. I could go deep, which I love at the end. I just thought that it was made as skillfully and was as honest as people experience death. You cannot say goodbye to someone and you don't get a degree. It can suddenly and completely unexpectedly happen in something that should be banal and smooth as you saw the mission. What VEel and Cinta were nervous about was to start a relationship afterwards. So that it falls apart in a mission that should be so simple, it is shocking.

How was this day on the set?

It was really difficult. I found it really difficult not to cry. I just felt for Vel and the child. You have the moment when you want to prove yourself and he literally exceeds. It was such a sad day that everyone felt very tender. There was a real feeling of grief. It was strange; I had the feeling that I would die. Everyone was very gentle with me. There is this big argument, then the knowledge and everything has to move quickly. Everything was made so tender. I stood under the ceiling and pretended to be dead in the scene, in the VEel – she doesn't even get a private moment with Cinta – to continue with the mission immediately. She only leaves what she thinks and it was so powerful to hear it. I felt angry with him, but I also felt heartache and his shame. This colossal figure, which should be a legend, has taken away this potential from someone.

How was your reaction to read the script for the first time and find out Cinta's fate?

Tony Gilroy called me and told me about it before the script arrived. It's a strange reaction, but I felt excited. I was very sad that I couldn't hang around with my friends, but I found it such a brilliant end. My belief was that Cinta would always die in the rebellion. I couldn't really see someone like them who overtook a rebellion. It's just so terrible, but I only had the feeling that it was so brave and innocent, and that differs from the other “Star Wars” shows and films “and” Rogue One “. It is the stories about the base human. It is not actually about the heroes. We don't look at a skywalker who can make Mind tricks. These are the people who have to spill blood to lay the foundation for someone, that arises larger.

Why did you think Cinta would always die in the rebellion?

It was used as a weapon by the rebellion. She is the assassin who is constantly in the fight against death. VEL is used as a spy, and obviously it is used in life -threatening situations, but Cinta is the one who uses the blade or weapon. She is the one who sees people in the last moments of their lives. Who knows how many people you killed you. If you are always in this position, I think that the likelihood that you are at the end of the reception is much higher.

When we are at the end of the reception, we see 3 Cinta as Tay Kolma's chauffeur at the end of Episode and probably drive him away to his death. We don't see what happens, but what do you think, do she do it?

Ben Miles, who plays Tay Kolma, and I talked both about it because it is obviously not the script. So we said, “What do you think?” And Ben said, “Oh, it's never a good thing when we come across you, right?” I love that it is this unspoken thing. It is like seeing death when it appears. I only have a scythe.

Where did the relationship between Cinta and Vels have stayed between the first and second season?

VEel is more emotional more vulnerable than Cinta. In season 1, Cinta prioritized that the rebellion always comes first. This has changed so much this season and it is much more susceptible. They were separated and she talks about a mission that went wrong and it is injured and incapable of for a while. When something like this happens with people who have driven, I don't think she really thought far ahead. Everything she focused on last season is how to fight. When she is separated from VEL and she has to re -evaluate her whole life, she thinks about what comes after the revolution. What am I fighting for? What is a good life? If I don't fight for it, nobody works. Luthen has its big, large plan, but it does not include people like Cinta and VEel. She takes a step back and looks at her life and what she wants from it.

Cinta's death is accidental and completely avoidable. What do you think about the condition of the rebellion?

Rebellions are guided by humans. Nothing runs smoothly because everything is a variable that could go wrong and is the greatest variable personality and ego. There is this child who just wants to prove itself. We were all in this situation in which we did something, and we were a bit torn and it cost us. For him, it is the ultimate costs and the life of a person of someone who, as Vel puts it, was much more worth than being concerned about the contribution to the rebellion.

If Cinta had survived, would you and Vel have left the rebellion or fought for the rebels?

I think they would have gone and would have hidden somewhere if they could. Well, I think you would try that. That would be the dream. But I actually suspect that they would probably stay in the rebellion, because that is exactly what Cinta believes.
