we review everything we know about Vel Sartha, the leader of the ‘Andor’ rebels that reaches the Disney+ catalog ready not only to dazzle the acolytes of the George Lucas saga, but also attract to the galactic universe the disbelievers of Star Wars, a complex but not entirely impossible task, as demonstrated by the approach of many neophytes to the franchise thanks to the benefits of ‘The Mandalorian’ and how, thanks in part to one of its great protagonists, it seems to be achieving.
Now, after explaining why you should see ‘Andor’ even if you don’t like Star Wars, it’s time to talk about this new group of rebels and their promising leader, ready to fight against the Empire?
Vel Sartha, Leader
“Above all, Vel Sartha is a survivor,” reads her description on the official star wars page. “A rogue operative always on the go, Vel is willing to sacrifice comforts, personal relationships, and even her life for one last mission: infiltrate the Empire in Aldhani.”
Stern and steadfast, we meet Vel three days before her grand plan against the Empire on the planet Aldhani, a world of lush, green highlands and bright, clear waterways, occupied by the Empire for over a decade.
Beneath the surface, a culture shock is brewing. While the native dhanis hold the lands and valleys sacred, the Empire values the territory for its tactical advantage and has displaced many of the locals and dissuaded them from their most sacred rituals.

Sartha leaves her camp to meet up with rebel Luthen Rael who unbeknownst to her introduces her to a new recruit, Cassian Andor, whom she introduces as Clem. She doesn’t want to add a stranger to her team but, desperate at Rael’s insistence, she decides to accept him and introduce him to the rest of the rebels as a member she herself has requested.
Faye Marsay plays Ver after having participated in series such as ‘The White Queen’, ‘Fresh Meat’ and ‘Doctor Who’. She was also the abandoned girl, priestess of the God of Many Faces in the House of Black and White, in ‘Game of Thrones’ and appeared in ‘Hated in the Nation’, one of the best episodes of ‘Black Mirror’.
