I thought the wheat field planet in season 2 of Andor was gonna be Dantooine.

No I’m not complaining. It just surprised me.

Scarecrow - "Someone's gotta take care of the @#$% birds."

You may need to click on the image for better resolution.

Explanation of some of my thoughts under the cut:

This piece is about change, courage, and danger.

The wheat has changed from green to gold. Similar to how Cole Cassidy has undergone change. From ranch hand, to Deadlock gang member, to Blackwatch operative, and now he's part of a recalled Overwatch. Even his name has changed, from Jesse McCree to Cole Cassidy.

Additionally, the wheat is about to be harvested for the benefit of others. However, carrion birds have come to pillage it for themselves.

Likewise, in the current narrative, the world is moving towards peace but antagonistic forces, like Talon or Null Sector or good ol' corruption, threaten that.

Cassidy has seen these forces burn the world to the ground before. But this time, he's not going to let them win. Like Winston said, "Someone's got to do something."

TLDR - Cole Cassidy is a scarecrow AND a field of wheat.

Les Vessenots in Auvers

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890)

Date: 1890

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, Madrid, Spain

Description

This landscape of ‘Les Vessenots,’ on the outskirts of Auvers, shows a group of old country cottages placed just below a raised horizon; further down, wheat fields stretch to the bottom of the canvas, broken only by a few swaying trees. The narrow colour range—mainly bright greens and yellows—and the nervous, agitated brushstrokes following a repetitive, undulating rhythm, are characteristic of the artist’s work in his final period.

Van Gogh painted a large number of landscapes in the weeks before his death, always working outdoors. By that time, he was prey to all manner of conflicting moods: the vast expanses of fertile cropland gave him a sense of freedom, but at the same time intensified the feeling of melancholy and loneliness which would eventually lead to his suicide.

Ruth in Boaz's Field

Artist: Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (German, 1794–1872)

Date: 1828

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The National Gallery, London, United Kingdom

Description

The oil on canvas painting entitled Ruth in Boaz’s Field Boaz is a biblical tale narrating the story of the first meeting between Ruth and Boaz and was painted by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in 1828. This picture was painted in Munich and based on drawings he had made a few years earlier whilst in Italy.

The subject is taken from the Old Testament Book of Ruth. Here we see the Moabite woman, Ruth, meeting with Boaz and she is gleaning (gathering up corn left after the harvest) to support her widowed mother-in-law. The landowner Boaz who talks to her has come to show his admiration for her hard work in supporting herself and her mother-in-law, Naomi.

Ruth was a daughter-in-law of Naomi, a woman from Bethlehem, who had left the city in order to escape the famine. She, along with her husband Elimelech and their two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, travelled to the land of Moab which lay east of the Dead Sea. However Naomi’s husband dies. Later Naomi’s sons marry Moabite women but ten years later both of the sons die leaving Naomi with her two daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth. Naomi feeling there was no reason to remain in Moab any longer decides to return alone to Bethlehem telling her daughter-in-laws to stay in Moab and return to their parent’s homes. Orpah goes back to her family but Ruth refuses to leave her mother-in-law, Naomi saying:

“…Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me…”
