Which Rogue One characters should make an appearance in Andor Season 2 ?

^ Orson Krennic. Would be so great if we got a scene with him and… Partagaz? Dedra?!

Casting spoilers and speculation below…

Apart from Cassian, Mon, Melshi and Saw, we now know that K2SO is making his chronological debut, and we’re getting more Krennic. General Draven - Cassian’s commanding officer - can also be glimpsed in the D23 leaked trailer. Mads Mikkelsen is appearing at Star Wars Celebration 2025, fuelling speculation that Galen Erso might be in Season 2.

^ The wonderful Mads Mikkelsen as Galen Erso. I remember whimpering with joy when I first saw he was in this film.

My own point of view? I love Rogue One but I prefer Andor if forced to choose (though I’m excited by Diego Luna’s repeated assertions that after season 2, it will be like watching a completely different film ) and for that reason I don’t want any less screen time for my season 1 favourites. Especially those who I think still have a lot of growth/story to come: Syril, Mon, Bix and Vel. But seeing as the final arc happens merely days before Rogue One begins - and the final scene will literally be Cassian departing for the Ring of Kafrene to meet Tivik the informant - it makes sense for Tony Gilroy to enhance the links to the film.

There are some characters who I would like to see and some who it would make sense to be there. Bail Organa perhaps - he’s clearly known to Mon. Mon even knows about his links to Obi-Wan (“your friend - the Jedi”). He would be a good character to have at least in the background, as an explanation for an increasing awareness of the Force (even in an unlikely character such as Cassian) . Maybe. Not essential though, and I wouldn’t be fussed either way.

The characters who make most sense to me and who I would really like to see : Tivik and - IF we’re getting Galen - Bodhi Rook. Tivik because Cassian clearly knows him and has met him before. An appearance by him – especially if we see the sister that Cassian and Jyn were supposed to be meeting with on Jedha - could add a lot of weight to the scene where… Cassian is forced to off him. You know, deliberately depriving a sister of her brother and all that. What with his own history. And there goes another little sliver of his soul…(This is one of the scenes that Tony Gilroy added in the reshoots in order to enhance the sacrifice theme.)

^ Alas, poor Tivik. With that great big red flag of a wounded arm . Among the all-time greats of “Characters who were unceremoniously shot dead by Cassian Andor”.

I love the film, but the opening 20 minutes or so is pretty confusing and fast moving and we’re given no explanation about why Galen trusted Bodhi enough to give him the hologram message for Saw. This is my biggest personal wish. I would really love to see a scene between Galen and Bodhi. To find out a bit more about this relationship and how it was built up. Bodhi obviously has a great deal of affection and respect for Galen. It doesn’t need to be much or long, but I think it would really enhance the film.

Bodhi Rook - arguably Rogue One’s least developed main character. Could Andor’s final arc do something about that?

Jyn Erso? With apologies to my Rebelcaptain-loving friends, I can’t realistically imagine a scene where Cassian is staring at her hologram image, simply because that wouldn’t happen before the Rogue One Tivik scene - the Alliance only then start looking for her as a possible way to track down Galen and gain safe access to Saw. But there is a hope that she might pop up at least as a mention in any Galen and Bodhi scene, or perhaps via Saw - who looked after her all those years. Maybe even Luthen knows about her in some way from that time.

^ Jyn Erso - might we get a mention or even a glimpse?

For the same reason, I don’t think we’ll see anything of Baze or Chirrut - it makes sense for their first appearance to be in the film.

One more wishlist request from me. Bor Gullet. The alien who works for Saw as a mind-reader. I would really like a little backstory there. No, really. I’m fascinated. (Might Bor even be retconned as a surviving Dizonite?!)

^ Bor Gullet will know your thoughts! The unfortunate side-effect is that one tends to lose one’s mind.. (though not for very long, apparently!)

Over to you. Re-blog or comment with your wish list.

I have a feeling we’re going to love you all over again, K2!

Rogue One Costume Contest - Round One

Who shows up to the Halloween party in a better costume?

sometimes i remember all over again that tivik was headed back to jedha and even if he'd survived and gotten off kafrene somehow he would've been dead by death star in a couple of days anyway

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) directed by Gareth Edwards

Wots all this then?

[andorerso]

I'll be real, I don't think it makes much sense for Cassian to only start looking into Jyn after the meeting with Tivik. I mean yes, the timeline of Rogue One in general isn't 100% clear, but Cassian has already known about Galen when Tivik mentioned his name to him, which leads me to believe they already had some kind of intel about Project Stardust and that Galen was involved in it. which in turn makes me think they were likely already looking at Jyn as a possible mark. not to mention that Bodhi was already on Jedha when the meeting with Tivik happened, and since I don't think that much time passed between that and Jyn and Cassian going to Jedha, Jyn had to have been rescued from Wobani around the same time. and honestly, I don't think Cassian could have put together her file and found her that quickly.

is it possible? technically yes. but I find it far more believable that Jyn was already in the picture when the Kafrene meeting happened.

there's also this from the novelization:

they know about Galen. they know about Saw. there's no reason they wouldn't already be looking into Jyn, the girl who connects them both. just as a precaution - even if they aren't yet sure she's important.

Andor Season 2 Second Trailer

I love how the poster incorporates more Rogue One characters and locations.

Yet again, Andor Season 2 continues to have me hyped. I like the use of the Imperial alarm sounds since it reminds me of how the Rogue One teaser trailer used an Imperial alarm sound to build up tension.

“Welcome to the Rebellion” the delusional part of me hopes he’s telling that to Syril tho he could be talking to someone else. Syril will either undergo a redemption arc, remain a delusional pro-Imperial to the end, or will die as an Imperial but realizing he served the wrong cause.

Seeing Ferrix under Imperial occupation and being torn down is heartbreaking.

I really hope the jungle world is Kenari.

I think Kleya might help Andor find Tivik based on how she mentions the Empire is working on a weapon.

I cannot wait to see Mon’s speech and perhaps maybe Saw will get a speech of his own.

One thing is clear: All roads lead to Scarif.

Thane is a soldier, not a hunter! This particular Buffalo Beetle has escaped with its life, Thane a bit bruised and embarrassed by his failure. It looks like another night of a small bit of their stew. The whole pack is hungry, but the more frustrated they get, the more clumsy they get in hunting. They have tivik back at the outpost, but tivik are small, and the eggs they produce are definitely helpful for protein. Eating the tivik would mean no more eggs. There's enough for each of the Warbred to have a couple eggs and a little of their stew.

[rapidashrider]

I don’t think we talk about this enough tbh, about the sacrifices Kay also makes against his own kind for the cause.

“You know what you have to do,” says Cassian.

“You know” tells us Kay made a joke instead of acknowledging what he already knows is the solution; “have to” tells us it’s not something he’s choose. He’s trying to avoid it - not really, not actually, but there’s a dark humour to making a joke when both he and Cassian know the real solution.

There’s a clearly intentional (in the filmmaking) brutality to the whirring, the flickering lights, the holding the other droid by the neck. Whatever it takes. Get the information even if it means murder.

This is Kay’s Tivik moment and we don’t talk about it enough.

speaking of tivik

oh my god i did not realize earlier that cassian's contact among saw's people who "has just gone missing" WAS TIVIK

not only did cassian casually lie to jyn about what happened to him, but he really sought out tivik's sister with every intention of looking her in the eye and lying about her brother's death and, hey, can you put in a word for him with saw gerrera? thanks

my mans was not about to let his haunting guilt get in the way of the cause

[andorerso]

I love your last reblog about Jyn and Cassian. I know we usually think Jyn is the one always wanting to leave because it’s easier to leave than to be left one more time which makes sense but specially after Andor I think this fits Cassian too. I guess the rebel alliance is the place where he stayed the most because in a way or another he was always leaving and didn’t have many connections (as it’s implied in Rogue One) because he always felt displaced and was really trying to figure out who he really was. They fit each other so well, I’m going to cry.

mmhm yes, if I'm honest I think both descriptions fit them to an extent. but I guess I always saw Jyn as someone who's greedy for love and affection and thus greedy with the people she loves. she spent a lot of time on her own, disappointed by everyone in her life, so I see why she'd be the one who wants to leave at first, but I think that's more pre-RO Jyn and her character arc in a way was also about finding a home again. people she can call family. and not just Cassian, but she got along amazingly fast with Bodhi, Baze and Chirrut as well, and even made truce with Kay. she's close to all of them by the end of the movie. I could still see her having doubts and fears but I think ultimately, unless something happens or someone (coughs Cassian) tries to push her away, she'd try to hold onto them with an iron fist while also trying to appear super casual about it. she doesn't want to admit how much they mean to her but they do.

with Cassian, I'll admit I was thinking more about his first backstory as it's still the default to me, but yes, Andor fits too. with the first backstory though, I see a man who's been isolated and lonely for so long, who's been playing roles and putting on masks for the better part of his life, that he just isn't really used to anyone knowing him, his real self. he probably feels like he barely knows his real self. and I think he spent most of his life leaving people behind or sacrificing them for the cause (like Tivik) and he's used to that. he comes back for Jyn but I think she's an exception he didn't anticipate. I think his life as a spy didn't really allow him to form attachments or stay in one place for long, and I think even in the rebellion not many people actually know him all that well (exceptions being Kay, I like to think Draven, maybe Melshi). so he's definitely not used to being known or staying. I think even with the Rogue One team, he'd be slower to allow them close to him.

but on the flipside, I think once he gets over that, he like Jyn would be clinging to them just as fiercely. so conclusion... they're definitely once again mirroring each other

[melyzard]

Okay, I’ve finished up the climax of the story, but it ran 12k long, so I cut it in half. Here’s part one of the end of i might know my heart, @kotaface!

It’s time to run.

Tivik’s mouth dropped open. “Are you insane?”

Very possibly, Cassian thought indifferently.

Read it here.
