Karis Nemik, Andor
Everyone knew Nemik was going to bite it on Andor from practically the moment he showed up, and even moreso when he started spouting theory at Cassian like a hopeful little rebellious fireband. The question was really more about how, as the heist on the Imperial payroll held on Aldhani gave plenty of chances for the young hero to get blasted away. And yet, he kept going, and going, and going as the tense mission progressed… until he didn’t. Just as Cassian and the surviving rebels blasted away to safety, the forces of fate and gravity aligned to send a massive pallet of credits flying into Nemik, crushing Star Wars’ premiere space socialist under the literal weight of capitalism. He got to live on long enough to guide Cassian’s control of their escape shuttle off-world, and lived on spiritually in the manifesto he had passed on to the would-be hero, but still, this one hurt. Looked like it hurt Nemik, too.
