“Andor” has an unexpected Mon -Mothma connection to “Revenge of the Sith”

The former senator became the leader of the rebel alliance, Mon Mothma, plays a rather central role in all Star Wars. It must not be trained in force, nor is it the descendants of Jedi legends. But if she were not an influential politician who came along the rebellion, there would be no strength for the good to defeat evil. And after using the propaganda, it has applied the truth about the preservation of the truth, it is easily one of the best characters in Andor. But did you know: Actress Genevieve O’reilly actually played her 20 years agoIn Revenge of the Sith.

Let us clear the obvious: We know that Mon Mothma was seen for the first time in Return of the JediPlayed by Caroline Blakiston. The (ironic) iconic line “Many Bothans died to bring us this information” was delivered by Blakiston. Before someone in the comments tries to become wise with me, I don’t say that Mon Mothma is one Revenge of the Sith Character – she has been in this saga long before.

But when George Lucas started the Prequel, he tried to increase the meaning of Mon Mothma. His opportunity came in Revenge of the SithWith the Australian actress Genevieve O’reilly Cast for the role. This time Lucas Mon Mothma gave more to say than lip service for the Bothans. In her scenes, Mon Mothma appears with Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits), Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) and other senators who meet in secret. The politicians share concerns about the dwindling republic and the rise of Palatine’s empire. They start to plant the seeds of the rebel alliance.

O’Reily’s Mon Mothma: “We are not separatists who try to leave the republic. We are loyalists who try to preserve democracy in the republic.”

Unfortunately, all speech parts of O’Reilly were ultimately cut in the film, and O’Reilly was reduced to an unspecific appearance. In a 2022 interview with Entertainment weeklyO’Reilly did not express hard feelings about her smaller part and that George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum announced in advance that her appearance was minimal. She supported her argument, namely that the film slowed down with her scenes and that the focus was on Anakin’s transformation in Darth Vader.

“They are such professionals, they wrote to me and told me, so I knew it before,” said O’reilly. “And they were so beautiful about it and friendly to me as a very young actor. And it made absolutely sense for me, because of course it was all about Darth Vader Darth Vader. The cinema must have a unique focus for it to drive, you know, you know?

In 2016, O’Reilly finally appeared in a speaking ability for Rogue One: A Star Wars story. But Andor Was O’Reily’s true stage to shine – her Mon -Mothma is equipped with inner conflicts and complexity. Although Mon Mothma dreams of a democratically elected republic, she is concerned about the prices that she has to pay for a better future for everyone. She did her daughter to a loveless marriage to fail and sacrificed her friends like lambs of slaughter. Mon Mothma really gave the rebellion everything. Not all heroes have lightsers.
