Cassian Andor makes his own history, but he does not make it just as he pleases; he does not make it under circumstances chosen by himself, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.
The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a force ghost on the brain of the living.
Yeah I read that scene not so much as prophecy but just as some vague residue of precognition, she knows somehow it’s going to be on Andor to do this thing, not because it could only ever have been him, but because the material conditions just are going to shake out that way and she knows it in a similar manner to how we us materialist analysis to make reasonable assumptions about the course of broad future events, but maybe that is just me being generous. It didn’t take much out of the show for me though.
