Desperate Rebels might think so.
Spoilers Andor - Season 2

Droids in Star Wars have always perplexed me. Some, like C3PO, seem fully sentient. While others, like the KX type, are just blunt instruments with limited programing. I suppose the KX from Ghorman might have some files specific to the massacre. Perhaps visual ones.
Ah. Well. (I haven't watched Rogue One since it was in theaters.) Then, uh...
Okay, I got nothin'!
I was really hoping we'd at least get a quick appearance from at least the Ghost, and it's my one biggest disappointment with the arc was that we didn't. And we've already seen the Ghost and the entire cast of the show in live action, so everything is already in place for it to have happened.
I had just assumed she was going to join a different Rebel cell somewhere else, from the way she was talking it sounded like she was still planning on being part of The Rebellion, just not on Yavin with Cassian. They could be really mean and end her arc with her arriving on Alderaan to work with the Organas. Although I'm hoping she survives and they leave open the possibility of her showing up in a future story.
These were the three best episodes of the show so far, and some of the best Star Wars ever.
The building tension in the first two episode as we slowly worked our way to the massacre incredibly intense. The whole build up as the protests started and we got the final stages of the Empire's plotting was some of the most tense Star Wars has even been, and of course thing finally exploded in an incredible way.
What they did with Syril here was a really great way to end his story, as we finally saw him realize just how much he'd been used for so long, and lose it. For a few minutes there, I thought we might actually join up with the Rebellion once he got away. I loved the fight between him and Cassian was fantastic, and Cassian not having any idea who he is was one of my favorite parts of the whole series. After Syril obsessed over him and hunted him for years, it was so great that Cassian had forgotten he even existed. His death was a huge shock, I had assumed he was going to at leas to next week's episodes. And having Carro the one who killed him was surprising choice after he had spent the last two arcs preaching pacifism, but after his betrayal came out it was also rather appropriate.
It was interesting seeing how Dedra reacted to what she had done , she comes across as this cold, unemotional person, but one-two punch of Syril turning on her, which I guess proves that it was a real relationship and she did have her version of feelings for him, and then seeing the effects of her actions, finally broke through her armor. It will be very interesting to see where we find her next week. I think we did see her in a what looked like a black civilian outfit in the trailer or poster we haven't seen yet, so I'm wondering if she might have left the Empire after this. Not sure if she'd go so far as the join the Rebels, but I wouldn't totally rule it out.
I loved Mon's speech, I think this was probably the most explicitly we've ever seen Star War address current events. Her escape with Cassian was really exciting.
I feel bad that Bix left, but I can see where they had to get her out of the picture for Cassian to be where we found him in the beginning of Rogue One, and given the other option was killing her, I'll take it.
Introducing the idea that Cassian might have a subtle connection to The Force was a surprise, and a nice way to bring that element of the wider franchise into the show, which had barely even acknowledged any of that before.
Bix left at pretty much the literal end of the episode. For all we know Draven could be yelling his head off about how unacceptable this is and the security threat it represents. It just wasn't shown to us in the audience since it didn't flow organically with the episode's narrative.
I think Bee's story is done. He's as safe as possible, with good people who'll take care of him and love him. He'll miss Cassian, and ask about him, but that can't be helped.
One of the last things Cassian's adoptive mother said to him was to stop looking for his sister, because she didn't survive. Now, in a different show, that would be a cue to expect her to show up alive, but on this show? I definitely felt like that was the end of that thread. I think that case is closed.
Kino Loy...I don't think we'll ever get a definitive answer on what happened to him...and that feels right to me.
I hope we get one more piece of Nemik's manifesto to close out the final episode, but I doubt it will go like that.
I hope Lonnie gets a good ending, but again, I doubt it will go like that.
I think Leida will be all-in for the Empire, and more or less "safe" for a while? I don't think we'll see her again in this series. Perrin, though -- I think there's been enough ambiguity in his actions to make me really curious about what's happened to him. I hope we see something -- however small -- that indicates what might have become of him.
(Okay, so watch the last three episodes leave me with egg on my face.
)
I wonder if Melshi and Cassian know they're on Yavin together? Something about the scene where Melshi identifies his blaster says he's kind of new there. We haven't had a reunion scene between the two so perhaps he was doing other stuff for the Rebellion elsewhere and is a recent arrival at the Massassi Temple complex?
Yep. Seems like Melshi's just gotten to the base.
And there's those gonk droids.
And MSE(Mouse) Droids, which display fear and flee when presented with perceived threats. Chewbacca roaring, Anakin/Darth Vader arriving on Mustafar.
Plot armor can literally mean armor that serves the plot.
Case in point right here. Or a stormtrooper taking two shots at Chewbacca and missing on Cloud City.
Droids clearly have different levels of programming/sophistication. But most organics still treat them like crap anyway.
Luke was one of the only characters to ever treat droids like actual people. Leia and Han, for instance, treated 3P0 like crap.
Which is odd since Leia treated LO-LA in Obi-Wan Kenobi with great care and told her snotty, rude cousin that she treats droids with respect because they deserve to be treated well.
Humans clearly have different levels of functioning yet other humans will treat them like crap.
3PO can be quite trying,
I would have agreed with you on both points after Season 1 ended, but Tony Gilroy made some vaguely cryptic comments about both of these issues between seasons that hinted that maybe there was more story to tell. But maybe he was being cheeky or I'm misremembering.
I am highly doubtful, as the show is clearly winding down and there doesn't seem to be room for either of them.
