(This story contains the destroyer Ando Episode 8 of Season 2. )

exist AndoOrson Krennic's Denise Gough's Dedra Meero received very specific compliments. Ben Mendelsohn's Imperial Director recognizes that the highly respected ISB director can foresee the future, especially his plan to capture the pitfalls of Ghorman's plans through the publicity campaign. Dedra then proposed the additional idea of ​​cultivating radical local rebellions so that the empire could eventually use brute force to eliminate the threat of “terrorist” it created and deprive the planet of its Kalkite minerals to help promote its upcoming death star.

In the second chapter of the first three-episode block of creator Tony Gilroy, Dedra calls on her superior party (Anton Lesser) to keep her axis (Luthen Rael of Stellan Skarsgård) instead of the secret Ghorman assignment. But Partagaz quickly disrespects Krennic and the Imperial Command chain. Well, after the Gorman massacre in Episode 8 and the death of Dedra's beloved Kyle Soller, the question now is whether Dedra would expect such a disastrous result when she first begged Partagaz to evacuate her from the Ghorman project.

According to Goff, Dedra did not predict the turning point of this particular event, she really just wanted to complete the beginning of the axis network. If anything, she thought she could control the Ghorman plan so well that she could eat cake and eat it. She knew Cyriel would be the perfect patsy to incite the Ghorman front and lead the Ghor slaughter without knowing it. But she mistakenly believes that she can minimize the consequences of her law-abiding partner’s discovery, i.e. he has been helping with massive theft and planned genocide involving thousands of innocent lives.

"Her biggest fear was losing control. So when Synil found out what she did, you saw her desperately saying, 'No, we're going back (to Coruscant) …' She lost control of this situation," Gough told Hollywood Reporter. "That's what makes her sad about the entire situation in Gorman. Unfortunately, it's not really a massacre. It's not that she's seeing herself destroying all of these people; it's her loss of Sirill."

Below, in conversation with the destroyer thrGoff also reviews the early showdown between Dedra and Syril's mother Eedy (Kathryn Hunter).

As of the first episode of episode 1, Dedra and Syril are playing house together and they are looking for unique ways to save on electricity bills.

((laugh)

Did she quickly speak out her thoughts after he saved her life on Ferrix a year ago?

It's really interesting because I'm thinking about this today: "How long have they lived together?" She made me feel very clinical and it makes sense that he'll be in her home now. So I don't know how long it has been, but it has certainly been for a while. Wondering what was their first date? Where did they go? Yes, there were a lot of them "what happened?" ”In that year (invisible), but when we see them again, they are built.

The thing I really learnt right now is that she needs to feel safe all the time and the way she feels safe is to control everything. Therefore, Syril belongs to that umbrella, and the closer she is, the more she can control the results. He was the only one who had seen her vulnerable, so she needed to keep her distance.

There are many epic showdowns in Star Wars Galaxy: Luke Skywalker/Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker and Rey/Kylo Ren. Now they own the company in the form of Dedra Meero and Eedy Karn. How excited are you about Kathryn Hunter's Edy making laws?

((laugh. ) As a drama actress, Kathryn Hunter is one of our legends. As long as I keep performing, I will always know her and her work. So the idea of ​​working with her was first and foremost a gift. But, on paper, that scene is awesome and looks like a kind of intimidation. Dedra does her Dedra-ing and frightens Eedy, and then Eedy does what she tells her. But when you work with legends like Kathryn, they make more complex choices on site. So instead of being intimidated, she was impressed and once I saw it, I thought, “Oh my goodness, it’s not as simple as Dedra making laws.” Dedra made her Dedra, but she matched Eedy, who found it very delicious. So, in the end, there is a respect there.

Soller said he thought it was like a summoned bully. If you stand up and bully, the bully suddenly goes and says, “Oh, I actually like you.” So, I feel it during the so-called “negotiation.” Kyle chose to lie in the bed like a broken bird, which was so inspiring, and the two women got it. So, this scene is one of the highlights of my career. Working with her is indeed something else.

This is truly one of the best scenes in the entire series.

God, that means a lot. Thanks.

In 201, Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) praised Dedra for being able to see many moves forward, and then in 202 there was a key scene where she asked Anton Lesser’s character Partagaz to get her out of Krennic’s secret Ghorman mission. Did she foresee who and the people she had to stay on the project and take risks?

This is a very good question. I think it's more because she's still addicted to the axis (Stellan Skarsgård). She knew the chain of command meant that she had to do what she said, and she knew it would be all-inclusive. I don't think she will use Cyril the way she does, but she has a lot of calculations about it. I don't think she would be worried about taking the (Gorman) mission because she was instilled into the empire. She will do her best to be for the Empire, but the fact is (Ghorman) is in the way of the axis, and that is her downfall. She can't let go of the shaft. If there is no axis. I think she's happy to take Ghorman to complete her mission.

Dedra grew up in an Imperial Kinder Block, which means she has no role models for love, feelings, joy, affirmation, boundaries or any parenting. So when Synil enters her life, she has all these feelings that when an average person will be able to put in a safe position, Dedra will be revoked by it. If she hadn't had these strange things with Syril, he was sacrificed. If she assigned someone else to the Ghorman project, she would say, "Okay, I need this person to go there to do this, this one. The problem is that her feelings about Cyrill have undoed her, but she doesn't know what those feelings are.

If you look at Cassian and Maarva (Fiona Shaw) in your first season, she will teach Cassian about Love. When he says, “I’ve been worried about you all the time,” she says, “that’s just love.” But no one tells Dedra what love is, or what that means when you look at someone and are happy with them. In 205, when she said, "I'm glad to see you happy," she didn't say in some way, "Oh, I'm glad to see you happy!" She said (calmly) "I'm glad to see you happy." She didn't know what that was doing. So, Syril is the one she sent to Ghorman and used such a person, which makes her feel bad about the whole situation of Ghorman. Unfortunately, this is not a real Holocaust. Not that she saw that she had wiped out all of these people. This is her loss of Cyril.

For me, Axis is just a convenient excuse because she can't tell Partagaz that she knows she has to use her boyfriend as the perfect Patsy and then risk her relationship to achieve this Ghorman goal.

marvelous. I love what you read from it. I always feel like that is: "Oh God, now I have to go to work (krennic). Pagaz lets me control everything, if I work under Krennic, I won't be able to control it. I don't like Krennic. I don't know how to work the same way." So, maybe both things are. She knew that if she worked for Krennic, she wouldn't be able to control it. If she works with Partagaz and is chasing the axis, she is safe because she knows she controls it.

Her biggest fear was losing control. So when Synil finds out what she has done, you see her desperately saying, "No, we're going back (to Coruscant) and we're going to be this..." She lost control of the situation. But if Cyriel wasn't involved, I don't know if she would feel impossible. I think she's mechanical about it. He is the thorn; he is the thing that undoes it.

So, I think it's great and I wish I had thought of it. I wish I thought Dedra saw all this in front of her, but I don't think she was. She's really obsessed with the axis, obsessed with the axis of control, and if she grabs him she'll exchange it for Ferrix and everything. If she went to Gorman, then this Klennich guy got all the glory of all her work.
