This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Andor Season 2, episode 3, "Harvest."
Andor is back and ready to wreck our feelings. Week one wasn't kind to the characters and fans alike, as we saw a few major characters from Season 1 killed or met their demise off-screen.
One was in episode 3, "Harvest." You can see the entire recap here, but the "too long, don't read" version is that Mon Mothma's bestie became a problem. Tay Kolma helped her hide her Rebellion activities in her finances in Season 1. However, he fell on hard times, his wife left him, and he was basically ready to blackmail her for help. Luthen Rael and Mon saw the big issue developing. So, Luthen brought in his little Angel of Death, Cinta Kaz, to kill Tay to protect the Rebellion.
Mon, knowing she was condemning her best friend to death in the name of the Greater Good, got incredibly drunk and danced her emotions out at her daughter's wedding. It's one of the most powerful, cathartic scenes in all of Star Wars.
And now you can dance along with it too! (Listen, there was no good segue from best friend murder.)
The official Star Wars channel, being the mad lads they are, has released an hour-long cut of the song "Brasso," which is the music where Mon Mothma had the ultimate crash out. Composed by Brandon Roberts, who has taken over from Season 1 composer Nicholas Britell, "Brasso" is really the tale of two songs. The first half is for its titular character, as our Ferrix friend Brasso met his demise. The back half is the techno beat that Mon Mothma mourns her friend Tay to, as it's all she can control in that moment.
She can't stop Luthen. She didn't get to say goodbye to Tay. The only thing she can do is get out her emotions and lose herself for one night.
The song is remarkable, unlike anything we've had yet in Star Wars. Rock out for an hour with Mon Mothma, and hopefully, you didn't have to condemn your best friend to do so.
Andor Season 2 is now available to stream on Disney+.
