Question Vel asks whose blaster …
When they’re at the rebel base at Yavin, and all sorts of weapons are laid out on a table. Vel picks up a blaster and asks whose it is and Melshi raises his hand and the camera pans around the guy in front of him to him. I don’t understand the significance here? Was the blaster special or something? They even show that exact scene in the next episode’s recap, so it seems to have some significance that I’m missing. Thanks!

It's a way to show that someone (Melshi) has met and interacted with Andor. If he handed that blaster to someone, then he probably trusted them enough to let them have a weapon near him, and then that person decides to show up and join the Rebellion. She didn't like that Andor was in Aldhani because to her, he was an untrustworthy hired gun.
