    I think your criticism is too harsh for what it was. IMO it was presented quite take-it-or-leave-it; a potential red herring just like Andor’s sister. There is no reason to interpret what the woman said as anything other than religious ravings

      This is certainly not supported by anything telegraphed on screen. The force healer women was not portrayed as a religious nutjob.

        Since the show subverts expectations in a few other ways, we can’t trust what is “telegraphed” — it could be a misdirection.

        The final scene shows Bix carrying a baby, but the only information definitively contained in that scene is the fact that Bix has a baby. Other stories might use to imply the baby will be someone great or important… but I think it is much more in line with the rest of the show if the baby ends up unremarkable.

          Please, you think the whole entire scene with the force lady telling Cassian is a messenger aka someone special was a misdirection? That is cope.

            Yes, the thing that the show has done at least a few other times, plausibly happened here too.

            The fact that your interpretation stands in stark contrast to the broad themes of the show is an argument against your interpretation.

              You have been depicted as the smuglord, your argument is inherently flawed now akshually <- You.
