Andor shares a complicated relationship to canon. The series has already established that the event previously thought to be called the “Ghorman Massacre” had actually happened years ago, and is now referred to as the “Tarkin Massacre” — meaning the planet has an established history with Empire interference.
Now, the series is overlapping with another part of Star Wars canon: “Secret Cargo,” an episode of Rebels following the crew as they safely transport Galactic Senator Mon Mothma after she makes a speech condemning Emperor Palpatine. While certain moments of the episodes don’t match up, they do share one similarity: a crucial aide who is way more important than we first thought.
