Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers ahead for Andor Season 2

One of Andor’s final moments sees its smartest yet most despicable antagonist suffer the consequences of his mistakes. Lio Partagaz is one of the two overarching villains of Andor, and he is finally given a sense of justice at the end of the show. The Isb chief dies by s*icide, choosing to end it even before he is captured by the Empire.

Partagaz’s death is poetic for Andor, as is the message it tries to convey. The series explores fascism and what it takes to destroy it, how absolute power takes control of narratives, security, economy, and more, and then uses all political materials to manipulate the people. Partagaz’s death signifies that even an Imperial major is not free from its clutches.

Lio Partagaz’s death in the Andor Season 2 finale says a lot about the show’s politics...
