nicI'll start off being honest: I did not relate to Bix. She's a great character and a complicated woman, but she wasn't my favourite.
That said, there is such awesome writing on this show because this was a different character yet again. An ordinary person who never signed up for the Rebellion, but got dragged into it because of who she knew. Tortured because of an ex. And then wanted to fight back.

(A lot of this discussion is about my preference for the Jyn/Cassian 'ship.)

The women of Andor - Dedra
May. 31st, 2025 06:21 pmnicFor an Imperial, Dedra is surprisingly popular in STAR WARS fandom. It's because she (and other Imps) were written as people first, with their own compelling motivations and plot lines. "Andor" truly showed how everyday people can be accessories to fascists even when they don't think they are. They think they're doing the right thing and by the time they realise they are oppressing others (do they ever realise?) they're so far in that this seems normal.
Where Dedra stood out is that she is the only woman we've seen with this rank, or level of power. High-ranking women in the Empire are few and far between.
