The storyline of Queer Star Wars andor 2 season covers the unhappy trop

This article contains spoilers For Andorra 2 Season, Episode 6.

Being a marvelous “Star Wars” fan looks like a ride Falcon Millennium In the “empire’s back”. Whenever we punch hyperdrai actually get Somewhere it was burning and dying. The dirty nature of the long -term continuation of the “star wars” is not due to the implicit philosophy “without homo”, which seemed to be determined to hold the Finns and on each other. And despite dragging fashion with a high nab -koralem amidal, obvious quirks, as a rule, had to hide in the next or less public corners of the “star wars”.

Over the past few years, everything has become a little better, and the weird missions have received more attention in the comic book “AFRA” and “High Republican novels”. And “Andor” season 1 brought this energy to live actions with layered relationships between the pastors’ colleagues Vel Sarttha (Faye Marsay)Mon Motma’s cousin (Geneviev O’Rayli) and Sinta Kaz (Varoda set). The Aldani arc since last season made its romantic participation clear, and in the following episodes there are several wonderful exchanges, where they fight the ways in which the case pushes them out. But we did not kiss, no other specific points that note the direct relationship on the screen.

This obvious pleasure finally comes to the second arc of Andorra 2 season, in which Vela and Sinta work together on the mission, kicking imperial weapons with a group of rebels at Garman. The mission comes after a long time spent, and synta apologizes for his past disorder, making himself truly vulnerable for the first time in his relationship. Both redirect their love, only for the synth, to then die by a random shot at the time of a short, unforeseen chaos during robbery. This is great, and it follows from the long, unhappy tendency of the queer -the relationship is often written in Hollywood. But at the same time it is also great? This is difficult.

We all know that there are single at this point. The number of times when I was supposed to define in articles over the years is a testament to how much progress has not yet been made. For the decades, queer -rams often ended in death and tragedy – a moral star on a “deviant” relationship that has become a cheap tool for easy drama. A chain of events in “Andor” 2 season It knocks down the same thing that we saw again and again: the strange couple splits, returns for a moment of brief joy, only for unforeseen violence to destroy them forever. We all remember the container with the Buffy Vampire. Cinta is, unfortunately, just a new character in the same tired form.

Turning a knife is only more painful because Cinta has just overcome. In the first season, she said Vela: “The uprising comes first, we accept what is left.” In the first arc, she kills the Kolem (Ben Miles) to avoid spilling the secrets of the rebels. She is a deeply wounded man who made tough, tough things in the name of the revolution, and when it reunters with a mid -2y season, she finally crashed under pressure and resumed herself with actual conviction for life.

Then, while Ghorman Group steals Blaster from dismantled imperial transport, one of the young ones caused by the rebels, which is heated by another local who stumbles at robbery. They enter into the fight, and in confusion, the synta mistakenly removed. As long as it reaches her, she died, and our last better hope for some stable joy in the “Star Wars” evaporates on the night of the hubbub.

Here’s a thing: I love Andor. I’m not silent about Andor. He has a dexterity of style, attention to the details I was obsessed. It is a genre fiction, accepted to theatrical, artistic extremes. So, while I call the refrigerator in the refrigerator, I also have to benefit this show that it is earned.

I would like Sinta to be still alive. As a fan of strange “star wars”, I would claim that the context of the past misfortune requires a delicate hand, at least yet. At least until he saw a gay -pace on Disney+, he does not want to get away with something. Meanwhile I like the death of the sinta partying Something, not just something about how weird people are doomed to be sad. I like that its arc is an identity of another kind, about the cost of radicalization and the inevitable changes that bring time. This is a moment with a real weight, a knife in your chest with a chance of violence. I like that the marvelous character in the “Star Wars” gets all these layers. I just want her too could be alive.

“I don’t know who I am sometimes,” Vel says at the beginning of the episode 6. In the midst of confusing times, her internal compass is wildly spinning from different magnetic pillars, Cinta returns to Vela. She returns to herself as a strange woman – inherent resistance in her blood. Once she dies, she was convinced that the person who meets would never forget. “It’s now on you,” she tells him another beauty Vilimon Monologue. “It’s like skin.” And at this point it is clear that Sinta is still do Something from the grave. It pushes history in powerful, meaningful directions.

In a better world, I don’t look this arc and don’t think about another defeat. And perhaps one day “Star Wars” will live in this world, but it is not yet.
