I Think I Know How Dedra's Story REALLY Ends After Andor (& It's Wonderful)

Published 8 hours ago3 minute read

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Andor season 2I think I've figured out the best ending for Dedra in the aftermath of season 2. Played by Denise Gough, Dedra Meero was the ISB Supervisor who was relentlessly hunting Cassian Andor and his connections to the vast insurgency network run by Luthen Rael, the rebel codenamed "Axis". While Dedra ultimately found herself imprisoned by Andor season 2's ending, I don't think that's where her Star Wars story fully ends.

As seen in Andor season 2, Dedra was recruited by Director Krennic to oversee the Empire's Ghorman initiative, a mass manipulation and resulting genocide that would allow the Empire to begin brutally mining the planet's resources for the classified Death Star project. However, Dedra never fully gave up on her vendetta to one day capture and bring "Axis" into custody.

In the aftermath of the Ghorman Massacre, Dedra inadvertently received classified files regarding the Death Star project. However, she kept the oversight to herself as the files aided in her quest to track down Axis. . This is what first alerted the Rebel Alliance to the construction of the Empire's hidden super weapon (a truth Cassian Andor later corroborates at the beginning of Rogue One).

Paired with the fact that Luthen killed himself after Dedra chose to confront him by herself, Dedra was taken into custody by the ISB. At worst, it certainly looked like Dedra herself was a Rebel. At best, Dedra was incompetent as she had chosen to arrogantly break multiple protocols, which resulted in a critical intelligence leak.

Before Luthen mortally wounds himself and Kleya ensures his death by the end of Andor season 2, episode 10, the man who helped lay the groundwork for the entire Rebel Alliance tells Dedra that the rebellion has moved on from Coruscant and is now everywhere: Sure enough, one can imagine that Luthen's words more than come true for Dedra, even if she misses the entire Galactic Civil War due to her imprisonment.

Every Episode Of Star Wars' Best TV Show, Andor, Ranked From Worst To Best

Andor is Star Wars’ best TV show and has 24 total episodes across two seasons. Here is how each one ranks against the others, from “worst” to best.

Four years after the events of Andor season 2, the Galactic Civil War ends, the Empire is shattered, and the nascent New Republic government is working to re-establish freedom and democracy to the galaxy. This also includes the presumed release of all those the Empire locked away, perhaps including Dedra herself.

Although the Empire ultimately turned its back on her, Dedra was nevertheless an Imperial. . However, it was shown that the program had its share of loyalists, as well as moles working for the Imperial Remnant.

Assuming Dedra is indeed "disgusted by the galaxy" when and if she's freed from her imprisonment, it's not hard to imagine Meero joining some faction of the Remnant during the New Republic Era. It would be cool to perhaps see a new appearance from the former ISB Supervisor in Star Wars' various New Republic shows.
