EW spoke with the creators about why this happened and where things go from here.
Since there are spoilers ahead, lets guard these secrets byexploring them on the next page ….
This wasnt something she sought out.
Lucasfilm
When you dont trust someone, its hard for them to trust you back.
So, Tam takes this news hard.
Now that she knows her friend has been lying to her, Agent Tierney has her hooked.
Lucasfilm
In the end, a confused and isolated Tam takes her hand and joins up with the bad guys.
First, lets watch.
Then well hear fromResistanceexecutive producers Brandon Auman, Athena Portillo, and Justin Ridge.
Lucasfilm
She doesnt really view the First Order as a threat.
She views them more like the police force.
So, in her eyes, she really doesnt see them as a bad thing.
Lucasfilm
They had good reason, but the tragedy is that they dont trust her enough to explain.
Thats compounded over the season.
Agent Tierney uses that to her advantage to manipulate her.
Justin Ridge:It was also very fascinating to us to have characters that had different viewpoints.
I dont think Tam was aware of exactly what they were doing.
You know, like, Dont do it, Tam!
This is not the right choice!
Brandon Auman:Tam isnt … Shes not an evil character at all.
Shes just manipulated and theyre using that to their advantage.
Justin Ridge:She feels like this is the right choice to make.
Now, whether or not thats a good idea or not, well see in season two.
Why keep them separated?Justin Ridge:In season 2, its What do they do?
How do they evade The First Order?
How do they attempt to join up with the Resistance?
I think a lot of the citizens on the Colossus knew it was a Starship.
Like, of course.
But to Kaz, he had no idea.
Now weve got this sort of unpredictable factor.
But theyre all really just trying to survive together at this point.
To now deal with, not only being on the run but having pirates on the ship.
Justin Ridge:It gives a lot of fun opportunities for internal drama.
How everyone can get along, or maybe not get along?
And the Colossus is kind of vulnerable out in space, you know?
They got badly damaged as they were trying to escape.
So, what does that mean as theyre on the run?
