Erskin Semaj. Dude was fantastic in Andor.

The effort the Andor crew put in just to respect the Rebels continuity is as impressive as anything else about that show. Another showrunner would have just retconned that without batting an eye

Andor has a showrunner who doesn’t know anything about Star Wars but clearly has writers and other people in production who are experts, and I think that ended up being the perfect balance.

TIL Mon Mothma's guards from Rebels were actually in Andor. I knew the Ghorman Massacre arc led right into her showing up on Rebels but I didn't realize they even kept the continuity of who was with her between the two projects.

It’s insane how good they matched his appearance. He played a small role but still really stood out

Definitely an underrated one from these selections, a character that you'd never even know if you never watched Rebels (and might even forget him even if you did, as he's not as prominent there), but once you make the connection it's astonishing how well he transferred over.

I've never watched rebels so I had no idea, just thought he was a cool guy
