I thought immediately after this conversation with Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee), Colonel Tuttle (Tim Meadows) immediately gives that information to Elia Kane (Katy O’Brian), who then gives it to Moff Gidean (Giancarlo Esposito).
Perhaps I misinterpreted him speaking with Elia Kane as working with her. But for sure Elia Kane was an imperial infiltrator. Perhaps they weren’t working together.
Oh maybe I’m misremembering the whole scene.
I vaguely remember that. I think when I watched it I interpreted it as him naively sharing information with her. Perhaps it was part of her duties to collect the data, she did seem fairly high up the New Republic’s information stream.
I think you’re right. I just read through the script of that scene, and I think Colonel Tuttle was just doing his job. Elia Kane inserted herself into the conversation and confirmed that Tuttle shouldn’t help Nevarro at this time, then got more information out of the conversation while Carson Teva was only trying to help.
So yeah, on second thought, I don’t think Tuttle was imperial, only Kane.
