There’s Andor not knowing who is, but I think there is another meaning and that is the existential question of what the fuck is he doing.

His entire life was dedicated to the order of the imperial state because he believed it cared about peace, security, and justice only for him to find out it only gaf about efficiency and profit and everything else only served to meet those goals. In the end, their order and security was nothing more than destruction and death to the people they were supposed to be providing security to.

Just to add to this, and to be fair to George, I don’t know what it was like to make commercial movies during the cold war. Seems like they were very careful, especially since the empire was the US in George’s head. They may have had good reason to be as careful with the messaging and symbolism as they were.
