Fans Want Andor's Most Intriguing Character To Remain a Mystery

Rael is a supporting character on the show, but some fans are curious about his past. Others, however, have made it clear that they prefer the rebel leader to be a bit of a riddle.

There are a few suggestions as to why fans might feel this way. Some argue that Luthen's role in the show is already well defined, and that adding a backstory could take away from the focus on the main characters.

Others suggest that Luthen's lack of a backstory is part of what makes him so fascinating. Without knowing anything about him, viewers are free to make up their own minds about who he is and what his motivations might be.

While it's not uncommon for fans to speculate about minor characters in shows and movies, the reaction to Luthen is somewhat unusual.

Usually, fans are eager to learn more about any character that catches their attention, no matter how small their role may be.

However, Rael seems to have struck a chord with fans in a way that's different from most characters.

Some fans note that they don't want another tearful melodrama where Luthen's family is killed and he decides to join the Resistance.

For the audience, this would be a rather hackneyed move that has been seen more than once in Star Wars.

For example, Rogue One had a similar story where the main character's father decides to hurt the Empire because they killed his family.

However, some audiences still need at least bits and pieces of information to understand the character's motivation. They want Luthen's story to be concise and systematic.

There was no hero in the spin-off movie, so it is likely that he will die or disappear in the series.

Rael is one of the most mysterious characters, so fans want the writers to keep the intrigue of his backstory, if it is revealed, until the end of the series.

For example, the mysterious green creature named Yoda also has no clear backstory: no one knows where his race came from or what he did before the Jedi Council. This adds to the mystery of the character.

The fact that fans have such strong opinions about the Rael is a testament to the show's ability to create compelling, memorable characters even in supporting roles.

Whether or not we ever learn more about Luthen, it's clear that he's made an impression on viewers.
