Much of the first time of year ofAndorresolved around Cassian ’s struggle to give to a causal agency that go beyond himself – not that he did n’t need to glom from the Empire and push back against its encroachment on his life , but that he could ever be part of a larger cause against it . Bit by turn , until he finally enjoin Luthen toshoot him or bring himin in the close , he begin to get there , and now season 2 need to keep building on that as it lend uscloser and closerto the event ofRogue One .
“ He ’s a man amply attached to the Rebellion , ” Diego Luna toldEmpire Magazineof Cassian ’s journeying inAndorseason 2 . “ It ’s someone who has to ascend . There ’s a huge mess for him to climb in ordering to [ become ] the hombre we meet inRogue One . ”
Part of that journey will postulate , of row , Cassiandeveloping his partnershipwith the former royal security droid K-2SO , with Alan Tudyk reprising his role fromRogue Oneas we get a new adaptation of the story of how Cassian and K2 foregather ( we ’d previously gotten a tie - inRogue Onecomic from Marvel in 2017 , but we can perhaps ask things to change ) . But according to showrunner Tony Gilroy , part of usher that committal Cassian now feel as season 2 barrels towards the timeline ofRogue One , and Cassian ’s eventual willingness to sacrifice everything for the cause , will be having him encounter against the beating spirit of Alliance operation at its infamous base fromA New Hope .

“ I mean , we have to terminate up in Yavin , right ? ” Gilroy told the magazine . “ So , we ’ll tell the story of Yavin . No - one has quite dealt with Yavin the way we will be doing it . ”
It ’s interesting what Gilroy means by that sentiment . Rogue Onebriefly beleaguer at least some of the clashes and via media that occur from the Rebel Alliance being the size and range it is by the time ofA New Hope , particularly what bristles elements of its Intelligence branch – a leg that we know Cassian becomes a dedicated part of by the time of the movie . EvenStar Wars Rebels ‘ depiction of the governance of the the Yavin base as the master hub of the formalized Alliance get into the divisions at play in its moments with Saw Gerrera and Mon Mothma ateach other ’s ideologic throats .
There ’s no doubt a show likeAndorcould give us a raw tailspin on Alliance politics that push Cassian deeper and deeper into the cause . But just how it goes about it in conversation with theStar Warsstories that come before , specially as the show begins to move forward further steps in time in the disruption it has between the effect of season one andRogue One , will be fascinating to watch unfold .
Andorreturns to Disney+ on April 22 , 2025 .
