Two-faced Transaction at Luthen's Gallery

One of my favorite scenes from Andor, a show about the formation of the rebellion, is the introduction of Luthen Rael's gallery when Mon Mothma comes to discuss the difficulty of funding the rebellion due to heightened Imperial surveillance and her decision to add a new member to their circle to help with that under the pretenses of buying a gift for her husband. While Luthen's assistant Kleya distracts Mon's driver Kloris who was hired to spy on her, Rael leads Mothma from the bright and clean showroom to the dark and messy backroom. Just as he is talking about a two-faced divinity, he suddenly reveals his own true face as a spymaster as the camera cleverly pans around the two and they start discussing rebel business. It's an excellent scene filled with brilliant writing, acting, symbolism, and Easter eggs which I tried to recapture in this MOC. The gallery is filled with antiquities from LEGO Star Wars history. This scene is a great example of how some of the rebellion's most important members had to carefully meet in secret while hiding in plain sight to make the rebellion possible.

 

This was built for the Rebellion category of the Eurobricks May the 4th contest.
