- "All that time away on Morlana. What if I'd let your neglect drive me insane? Imagine that. Look back just months ago when you could easily ignore me. Imagine. Imagine I'd cracked under the weight of your neglect. Imagine I'd cracked and wasn't here now to pick up the pieces."
- ―Eedy Karn
Eedy Karn was a human female who was the mother of Deputy Inspector Syril Karn and lived on Level 91 on Coruscant.[1] In 5 BBY,[3] Karn was surprised by a visit from her son, Syril Karn. She initially greeted him coldly with a slap, but she embraced him in tears afterward. After chastising an observing passerby, she pulled Karn and his luggage into her home.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Karn first appeared in "Aldhani,"[1] the fourth episode of television series Andor,[4] which aired September 28, 2022.[5] She was portrayed by Kathryn Hunter.[1] In an Instagram post that she later took down, Hunter confirmed she would be returning for Andor Season Two.[6]
Hunter and Kyle Soller, the actor who played Syril Karn, collaborated on a story about the latter's father, which involved him leaving early on in an acrimonious and horrible way. They thought Eedy being wronged catalyzed how she raised Karn. The actors believed that Eedy's anger, grief, disappointment, and frustration of him leaving filtered into Syril.[7]
