Remember Mon Mothma? She appears as a revolutionary leader in the classic Star Wars trilogy and the interestingly posed prequel Rogue One. In Return of the Jedi, she has that classic line about many Bothans dying to get the Death Star plans. (Most don’t recall that she’s referring to the Death Star II, but that’s okay). In any case, the face of the rebellion is back, and slated to appear in the upcoming Disney + show about Cassian Andor.
Rogue One spoilers ahead, in case you haven’t seen it. What is the statute of limitations on these things?
Diego Luna is onboard, of course, to reprise Cassian. Since Cassian is the lead male role in Rogue One, and we know his fate at the end, we can assume several things. The as-yet-unnamed TV series will have to show Cassian’s adventures with the rebellion before he’s chosen to abduct Jyn Erso. (From prison, remember?) So this places us in the timeline as post-Solo and pre-Rogue One. Obviously we’ll see the younger Mon Mothma, the one who wasn’t encouraging the rebels to get the Death Star plans. Isn’t it ironic?

Happily, Alan Tudyk will reprise his brilliantly amusing role as the sarcastic re-programmed Imperial droid K-2S0. If he didn’t take the role, it would have been a galactic misstep: Cassian Andor sans K-2 is like Han Solo without Chewbacca. Plus, K-2 brings the funny.
Can we talk about that perfect Mon Mothma casting, though? Could this be Genevieve O’Reilly? #StarWars #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/WoFYC929vA

But who will play Mon Mothma?
The real news: Disney snagged Genevieve O’Reilly — the younger Mon Mothma actress — for the upcoming TV show. She lacks the gravitas of Jedi’s Mothma, but we can hope she’ll settle into the role as the series progresses. She was probably cast as someone who looked the part, and granted, her Rogue One role was small.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

I foresee a lot of CIC briefings in our future.
Maybe we’ll get the scene where Mothma tells Cassian about his final mission. We could have a cameo of Jyn Erso, where Cassian scopes her out from afar, using those cool Star War binoculars. I bet Felicity Jones would be up for a brief appearance. We’d get to see what an interplanetary prison looks like. Cool things may await, if the show is anywhere as good as The Mandalorian.
There’s also this, which just goes to prove that Mon Mothma is iconic enough to start a meme of her own:
