Andor
Andorseason 2 writer Tom Bissell has just revealed a cut Mon Mothma scene that would have whole modify her story . Andoris undoubtedlyStar Wars ' honorable TV show , and episode 9 - in which Mon Mothma essentially launches the Rebel Alliance in a rousing speech - is a personal favorite . Last calendar week , we learned onemissing Mon Mothma scene fromAndorwould have seen her regaining to Chandrila to speak with Perrin , telling him he would have to calculate after Leida now .
Speaking toBackstory Magazine , Andorseason 2 author Tom Bissell has revealed more of this scene . It seemsthis would have wholly change by reversal Mon Mothma ’s story upside - down , revealing she could have entrust Perrin after all .
" That was gon na be an interesting moment . Tony [ Gilroy ] execute it - Perrin just say , ' I know what you were up to . This whole prison term . They talked to me , every week they ’d interrogate me , I never said a discussion . You did n’t trust me . You could ’ve trusted me . ' And the heartbreak she would find in that moment , of this guy rope that she ’d pushed out could ’ve been reliable . The duple heartbreak of her walking away from her life , thinking she ’s dropping this deadbeat hubby who never supported her , and then the forked sticker stab … But that ’s head - cannon , that did n’t materialise . "
Have We Been Completely Underestimating Perrin All Along?

Mon Mothma ’s husband Perrin is scarcely one of the most popularcharacters inAndor . He ’s a pleasure seeker at heart , uncoerced to plainly close his eye to the evils of the Empire . The arranged married couple between Mon and Perrin was hardly a well-chosen one , andAndorseason 2 ’s endingeven reveal he was have got an affair with Sculdun ’s wife - a penis of his wider family , give Leida espouse into the Sculdun household . He ’s likewise quite unpleasant in Alexander Freed ’s fantastical novelReign of the Empire : The Mask of Fear .
But Bissell ’s cut scene shew a different side to Perrin -a mankind who know what his married woman was up to the whole time , but just did n’t want to crusade . That ’s a much more complex character , a much more interesting one , and I ca n’t help wishing it had been made canon . It is , for now , just " school principal - canon " - because it did n’t make it into the show itself .

Could Star Wars Redeem Perrin?
We had never really consider anything on Mon Mothma ’s family beforeAndorseason 1 . There were reference in the oldStar WarsExpanded Universe ( now dubbed Legends ) , but those are n’t canon . Andorseason 1 pay us a very different look at Mon Mothma ’s life sentence to anything we ’d experienced , and viewer were captivated by the family drama .
That course meansit ’s quite likely Perrin will be explored again in other sensitive . In fact , that ’s probably inevitable ; Alexander Freed ’s novelThe Mask of Fearwas the first in a trilogy of novels explore the reign of the Empire , and they ’ll retain a focus on Mon , Bail Organa , and run into Gerrera . Andor ’s character are only go to bear on developing more depth , and there ’s straight-out potential for this winding to become canyon again - which would be a smashing add-on to the franchise ’s lore .
