(Andor season 2 spoilers, obviously.)
The individual rebels in the Star Wars universe are great at their job. Kleya especially, we see how Luthen raised her and her ability to distract and infiltrate.
But the rebellion as a whole? They seem just as ineffective as the Senate they came from. I was surprised how ineffective and unwilling the rebellion was by the end of Andor, but watched Rogue One right after and they’re equally ineffective.
I have to assume Alderan was a HUGE swinging point for them to get their shit together and combined with the destruction of the Death Star finally got them kicked into gear.
Everyone just seemed so distrustful of Luthen and Kleya. Maybe it’s because we see so much of their story but the rebellion owes them so much.
Luthen and kleya did a lot of dark, unpopular things and worked with people like saw.
They were dropped out of political expediency, because that’s what you do, they were convenient to scapegoat for anything the rebellion wanted to distance itself from.
