The first season of Andor was rife with compelling storylines, but some of the best took place on Coruscant. The capital of the Star Wars galaxy is home to members of the Galactic Senate and spies in the Rebel Alliance, and Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) qualifies as both, making her tale especially potent.
Mon Mothma had her hands full in Season 1 trying to curb the rise of fascism within the Senate while also managing tensions at home with her indifferent husband and headstrong teen daughter Leida (Bronte Carmichael). Leida proved much more important to Andor than anyone could have expected, and as the series pushes into its second season, she may play an even bigger role in Mon’s story.
