A Star Wars spy thriller has captured the hearts of millions. The show is admired by many fans who miss the serious shades of a galaxy far, far away.

And lately, audiences have been trying to solve one of the most mysterious characters in the Disney universe.

The harsh world of Andor is a vast and complex one, full of fascinating characters and rich histories waiting to be explored.

One such character is Luthen Rael, a key player in the political and social landscape of the Star Wars Universe during the Age of Empire.

While much is known about Rael's current role in the story, his past remains shrouded in mystery, so fans were left to speculate and theorize about what events might be shown in season 2.

Some fans suggest that Luthen was once a Jedi and escaped his fate during Order 66.

We already know the stories of Ashoka Tano, Ben Kenobi, or the now-canonical video game character Cal Kestis, who survived the Emperor's ascension to the throne.

This theory is also supported by an antique shop where Luthen sells Jedi and Sith relics. He has the mind of a Lightsaber Knight and is overly committed to the ideas of rebellion.

To overthrow the Empire, he's willing to sacrifice everyone he loves, manipulate people, and force senators to work for him.

However, many fans do not support such theories. Some want no backstory at all, since there is already enough information that Luthen was some kind of military and strongly hates the Empire to be part of the rebellion.

Others rightly point out that not only did the Jedi endure Order 66, but there were many characters in the galaxy who even survived the Death Star attack.

Audiences are hoping for something different to explore, as many have already settled on the standard Jedi vs Sith narrative.

Fans want to see more unique planets, mysterious artifacts, and different alien races.

While these theories are all intriguing in their own right, the truth of Luthen Rael's past remains unknown.

However, the speculation and discussion surrounding his character only serves to deepen the already rich and complex world of Andor.

We already have Yoda; the origin of his race remains unknown, and that makes the character incredibly mysterious. Maybe that's the way it should be with Luthen, because mystery has always been part of the magical world of Star Wars.
