Those KX droids were hit with a variety of blaster types multiple times!
Spoilers Andor - Season 2
- Thread starter Fuddles
- Start date
Maybe having an actual KX unit in their possession on Yavin allowed them to make adjustments to their weapons to more efficiently deal with those bots.
Also, concerning Vel recognizing the weapon -- I'm told it's because it's the one Cassian used on Aldhani (that she gave him?), and then gave to Melshi after Narkina 5.
Also also -- I swear Bix's body language says she's pregnant. And I think the Force healer confirmed it, which is why Bix trusts her. Imagine Cass finding out Bix is pregnant with his child. He would insist on leaving the Rebellion immediately, no argument. I think Bix by herself might have stayed, might have hoped to still convince him to work for the Rebellion, but this? No.

I don't agree that it's that simple. If only because being a pawn was normalized behavior for Syril, given his relationships with Eedy and Dedra.
No, the issue is that Syril BELIEVED. He genuinely and truly believed in the Empire. So used to order and routine and answering to expectations not his own, Syril never saw the evil in the system. He saw law, order, peace and prosperity. He's very black and white. He saw justice. Syril CRAVES justice. He wants to be the hero of the story.
Ghorman is a lesson for Syril. He spends time with the Ghorman Front. He sees their humanity. Their hopes, their dreams. He KNOWS they are good people at heart. And recall, as far as he us concerned he isn't betraying them, he's looking for the outside agitators that are stirring them up. Syril probably convinced himself that without that influence, the Ghorman Front would return to peaceful protest or even calm down all together, with the force "manufacturing" their discontent removed.
But when he realizes what is about to happen in Palmo Plaza the truth of the Empire, and of Dedra, is laid bare before him. Yes, he was lied to. His faith in Imperial justice used. But he now has to confront that the entire system is evil. At last he breaks through and sees the tyranny he's been blind to.
And so his whole world crumbles. He's lost his love, his faith, and knows he played a key role in what becomes mass murder. He knows, suddenly and irrevocably, that he has been the villain. I can't even imagine what that feels like to someone as rigid and regimented as Syril.
And then he sees Cassian. I wonder if seeing him made Syril believe that Andor was the outside agitator that he had been seeking all along.
But she was using a nabbed Imperial blaster!
I wasn’t clear whether Syril attacked Cassian because he recognized him, or because he saw him try to shoot Dedra. (Possibly both.)
Ah. Well. (I haven't watched Rogue One since it was in theaters.) Then, uh...
Okay, I got nothin'!
Plot armor can literally mean armor that serves the plot.
What characters and/or loose threads do we hope get revisited in the last three episodes?
(let's confine our suggestions to stuff actually from "Andor" itself, not, "Gee, I hope Vader and/or Hera show up!)
I already got two off my list: Draven & Melshi
What else:
B2
Cassian's sister (will they ever revisit that thread?)
Kino Loy
Nemik's manifesto
Lonnie
Perrin/Leida
Yularen

So Diego Luna's going to return to play his own son in sequel trilogy era movies?
Melshi.
Kino Loy.
Lonnie.

Lonnie.
We basically have Cassian all ready and lined up for Rogue One. They only need to resolve Luthen/Kleya and the Mothma family, and even then it's not clear if there's anything to "resolve" other than an offhand comment that Luthen/Kleya kept fighting for the Rebels (like what they did with Rex in Rebels) and if Mothma had family repercussions for this it really should've been mentioned in this episode when she was planning to escape.
I suspect Luthen HAS to die if only because by Rogue One the Alliance can't reach Saw without getting blasted, something Luthen would've been able to do.

Melshi's already at yavin. I do hope he gets at least a little screentime, but it's not like there are any unanswered questions with him.
Ok so I was wrong, that wasn't one of Cinta‘s blaster.
It was originally Syril's Pre-mor issued blaster that Andor took in S1E3, It was among his possessions during the Aldahni raid, Vel saw it there when she had his stuff searched.
Andor then gives it to Melshi after the prison break.
Odds and ends
Lleya's look in the Ghorman arc brings to mind Leia on Endor. (Not that I think she is Leia)
Cassian might have grabbed the KX for intelligence purposes
Need Ghorman cosplayers to show up at cons and sing the anthem.
Fully expected for Wil and/or Bix to die. Cyril was unexpected as was the "Who are you?"
The production team needs Emmys across the board. As do O'Reilly and Gough.

I always figured K-2 was the result of capturing an Imperial security droid for its intelligence files, then they reprogrammed him to be benign and friendly since the Rebellion would have a use for some friendly droid muscle.
Useful asset for going undercover, too.
Some of them had captured imperial weapons
Jyn used an E-11 to shoot that one KX on Jedha
K2 at the end of the movie does take a ton of shots before going down though
Eh, can't imagine your garden-variety security droid would have much in the way of "intelligence files."
