Can we remind ourselves just how brutal Cinta actually is?
Now that she's back in the spotlight, I would like to remind everyone that Cinta slaughtered Commandant Jayhold Beehaz' family on Aldhani - without hesitation.
Did she though? Later in the season, Dedra connects Ferrix and Aldhani, while Partagaz, remains rather sceptical. To support her case, Heert points out that Cassian was clean-shaven - just like the rebels on Aldhani - and adds that some soldiers thought one of the rebels resembled their reference picture.
So... why rely on soldiers who likely only caught brief glimpses during the chaos?
Beehaz’s wife and son saw Cassian up close, in a much calmer situation, while being held hostage. If anyone could’ve identified him clearly, it would’ve been them. Why weren't they referenced?
Cinta killed them.
The last time we see her in that episode, she’s walking - not running. She doesn’t need to run. There’s no one left who knows about her. She’s a ghost. People call her the grim reaper of Star Wars and this is just one of the many reasons why...
What I’m still wondering, though, is whether Vel knew what was going to happen to Beehaz’s family. If she did, then she was lying straight to his face when she said: “We win, or everyone dies.”
And now that I think about it… maybe she was...
