Syril Karn of Kyle Soller, who likes space cereals and the order of maintenance And Chasse Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) since the first days of the series, died in a confrontation with the hero of the rebellion towards the end of the episode. Cassian’s last words in Syril when he is at the bad end of a blaster? “Who are you?” It is a rather devastating moment for Syril, who suddenly realized that the obsession of his did not even know that it existed.

In an interview VarietySoller discussed Syril’s death in detail. More specifically, he revealed that there were other iterations of the scene of the death of the character in consideration before the final version was settled:

“There were three or four different things that Cassian was going to say, and they ended up on” who are you? “What I think was perfect because it breaks Syril at that time. How was it eviscerated?”

In fact. As for what other variations in the line have been considered? There were a few other options but, as Soller explained, none of them brought the same weight as what the show finally landed:

“It was a short list:” You “and” it’s you “and” Who are you? That cut it completely at that time.

Brutal although he could have been, It was a very suitable death for Syril Karn. “Andor” was to give us a grainy look and on the field on the way in which the rebellion has formed in the face of the tyrannical rule of the Empire. It’s not all black and white. Syril believed in the Empire without any doubt; It was only in his last moments that he realized that he should probably ask questions. To this end, there have been many debates on how the scene should take place.

“There was a big question of whether, when the explosion occurs, Syril is still standing or may be dead or something that loops in the beat between the two,” said Soller. “This fight is equally unexpected; another day, Cassian would beat Syril’s S ***, without a doubt. But Syril has this superpower released by everything that happened to him.”

The Ghorman massacre will remain in the story of “Star Wars”Without a doubt, with Syril’s experience at the center of all this. His horrible realization that her partner Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) betrayed him is only ignited by her long -awaited confrontation with Cassian, who was there to kill Dedra. The whole creates an impressive arrangement of parts on the chess board. Speaking further, Soller plunged into his thoughts on the death of Syril, believing that it is a perfect end for his character:

“I thought it was a perfect end for him. It was like just before something could happen to Syril, it was removed. So much so had been removed in the last 10 minutes of his life, all these revelations and betrayals coming to the light, the veil being lifted from all the truths that he was correct on the Empire and the choices of his life.

“For all of Syril’s vanity, romanticism and illusions of greatness on itself, it is just another cog in the wheel. It is only another victim of the war,” concluded Soller.
