On "Andor," good is a four-letter word

“There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy,” says the disembodied voice. “Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.”

“Star Wars” and the resulting faith that binds its fandom are built on quotes about the light and dark side of the Force. Since “Andor” is agnostic, its guiding verse is a manifesto recorded by a revolutionary, Karis Nemik (Alex Lawther), whose name and face have likely been forgotten by most viewers. Nemik was a minor character in three episodes of the show's first season before dying in an accident, crushed by a heavy object falling on him during a small-scale heist.
