Show notes
in the 10th episode of Andor we saw all the inmates finally break free but Kino, due to his inability to swim. He was left behind and we don’t know if we’ll ever see him again in the show. Personally I think he’s as likable as Cassian if not more, and I’d love to see him as a regular on the show. Now in universe, I would have to say he hopefully found a way off that prison. There must be a way for guards to get out of there, unless they’re all trapped too, in which that would be an insane scheme by the Empire, to literally kill off anyone and everyone there. I don’t think that’s the case, as then the guards would soon join the inmates in rebelling and finding a way out of there. They obviously are able to get out of there, so Kino has to use his smarts to get to the lower levels somehow, and either get a ship to leave on his own, or if the empire has scheduled transfers that pick up and drop off, he could disguise himself as an officer and get out of there. I hope he wasn’t just a catalyst for Cassian to get off that prison island.
Here’s what actor andy serkis who plays Kino Loy has to say about Kino surviving
"Oh wow, I hadn’t thought of that. I mean, the thing is, yeah, that would be an amazing thing. I don’t know what the future holds for Kino Loy. Who knows? He might be stuck on that ship, or whatever, I don’t know. But let’s see. I haven’t had any discussions yet. But I don’t know, we’ll have to see what everybody thinks of it and the outcome."
now let’s play along and pretend he’s telling the truth when he said he hasn’t had any discussions with tony gilroy about the fate of Kino Loy. If that were the case, then usually in Star Wars, we know anyone can be brought back if we don’t see them die. Oh wait…insert child reva, insert maul, insert reva as adult. So the fact that Kino is just roaming the halls of the ship while the guards are cowering in fear, tells me he has a few minutes to get out of there before he’s arrested. Now if he were to be arrested, I think the empire would either terminate him, or send him somewhere else to another one of these facilities where he won’t break free from. Perhaps one stationed in space.
Now a popular fan theory is that he actually will be punished by the empire and turned into Snoke through experimentation and that’s why Snoke has the same voice as him. Obviously that’s just a funny made up thing that we fans like to create, like all the old snoke theories. And hey, as one last hurrah, I’d love to make another snoke theory video, just for fun.
