From Gorn to Tala to Finn, Andor and the Star Wars universe show that there will always be defectors who join the rebellion.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Andor Episodes 1-8.Star Wars has an interesting thread running through the franchise—sometimes to win, you need bad guys to turn good. Across properties, we've seen mercenaries like Han Solo and bounty hunters such as Boba Fett become unlikely allies in the fight against evil. Even someone like Kino Loy , who is a prisoner in Andor, tries to work the system as best he can to help his fellow inmates .
And Lando is just the beginning. The history of Imperial defectors in the Star Wars films and TV shows has continued to expand as more stories are told.
We see more disillusioned Imperials in Andor, as well. The Aldhani crew consists of a former stormtrooper, Taramyn Barcona , who brings his knowledge of Imperial tactics to the team’s insurrection plans. But the team’s secret weapon is Gorn , a sharp, no-nonsense lieutenant in the Imperial Army’s local garrison on Aldhani, who is actually an inside man. Without Gorn’s precise orchestrations, the insurrection would have been dead on arrival.
Finn is a stormtrooper at the start of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but he’s unable to participate in a literal massacre. Instead, he chooses to free Resistance pilot Poe Dameron and reluctantly joins the fight against the First Order. Finn’s initial motivations aren’t quite as altruistic, he’s just looking for an escape, but in the end, he’s battling his old bosses with the support of other escaped stormtroopers.
