According to a fresh theory circulating online, viewers believe that Disney+’s “Andor” Season 2 could potentially alter the backstory of Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars saga. Initially introduced as a moisture farmer in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” Luke’s transformation into a Rebellion hero was chronicled in the film, with his journey towards becoming a Jedi being guided by Alec Guinness’ character, Obi-Wan Kenobi. In “A New Hope,” Obi-Wan acted as the source of knowledge about the Force for both Luke and the audience. However, if the new theory holds true, another character might have played a role in this process.
It’s been speculated that a character from ‘Andor’ Season 2, specifically Josie Walker’s unnamed Force healer, might have played a role in instructing Luke Skywalker about the Force. This theory suggests that this healer could have encountered Luke during ‘Star Wars: A New Hope’, sharing additional insights about the enigmatic cosmic force, thereby contributing to his eventual triumph over Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
In the realm of speculation that sparked on Instagram, I found myself contemplating a fascinating theory. This theory revolves around the mysterious Force healer who appeared on Yavin-4 in the captivating episode “Messenger” from Andor Season 2.
In the second season, a new character named Walker entered the scene, informing Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor that he was destined for a significant role. He also miraculously healed a blaster wound on Cassian’s shoulder and prophesied through the Force about the perilous mission ahead, which would involve capturing plans to destroy the Death Star and ultimately bring down the Empire.
It’s speculated among these enthusiasts that Luke might have encountered the Rebel healing force during his stay at Yavin, but this meeting wasn’t depicted in any of the screen appearances.
In the past, it was thought that my origin story with the Force was limited to what was shown in movies, but there’s always a possibility that I had a chat with the Force healer after landing on Yavin in Star Wars: A New Hope. This conversation might have given me additional insights about the Force and my part in the impending war.
In my perspective, it wouldn’t surprise me if Andor Season 2 revises some aspects of the Star Wars lore, given that a significant part of its narrative is woven around reinforcing links with other stories within the broader Star Wars universe. Here’s where you can learn more about how Andor Season 2 alters canon.
As a cinephile, I am thrilled to announce that Season 2 of the riveting series, “Andor,” is now available for streaming on Disney+. Penned by none other than Tony Gilroy, who masterfully crafted the screenplay for “Rogue One,” this captivating show delves into the backstory of Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna, as well as Mon Mothma, portrayed by Genevive O’Rielly, and Stellan Skarsgård’s enigmatic character, Luthen Rael. The narrative elegantly bridges the gap between their intriguing origins and where we last saw them in “Rogue One” and “A New Hope.
Did Luke Talk to the Force Healer?
Indeed, during the initial Star Wars trilogy, Luke Skywalker, portrayed by Mark Hamill, did not encounter the Force healer from Andor Season 2. However, this doesn’t necessarily imply that such an encounter didn’t take place at some other time or in a different context within the Star Wars universe.
From all indications, it seems likely that Josie Walker’s enigmatic Rebel and Luke may have encountered each other since they were both present at Yavin at the same point in time.
If there was indeed a discussion, it would most probably revolve around Luke’s queries concerning his role in the impending interstellar battle between the Rebellion and the Empire.
It’s possible that Luke may not have been as self-assured following his initial encounter with the Rebel leaders on Yavin-4 compared to how fans perceive him during his preparations to attack the Death Star. Prior to meeting a character from Andor Season 2, Luke might have harbored doubts and received mysterious yet comforting advice from her, much like she did for Andor.
Subsequently, realizing his role in this epic space odyssey, he hastens into combat, connecting mentally with Obi-Wan via the Force, and annihilates the Empire’s destructive planetary weapon.
She might have given crucial details about the Force, which enabled him (either intentionally or unintentionally) to access a section of his mind capable of communicating with Obi-Wan even after death, similar to their interaction during the legendary Death Star trench run.
Although Tony Gilroy, the creator of “Andor”, stated unequivocally that there wouldn’t be any cameos in his Star Wars series, he didn’t explicitly rule out the possibility of revising the narratives of characters we’re familiar with.
