How Andor's finale sets up Season 2: Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Andor. (Lucasfilm) So, this is how it ends\u2026 for now. Season one of Tony Gilroy\u2019s Andor has come to a close on Disney+, and as the least Star Wars-y show in the galaxy\u2019s history, this sci-fi spy thriller has delivered something different. Even though the second season of 12 episodes is on the way, all bets were off as we hit hyperspace and dived into an explosive season one finale. As a prequel to 2016\u2019s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the end is already marked out for the likes of Diego Luna\u2019s Cassian Andor. Alongside giving our lead plot armor thicker than Darth Vader\u2019s suit, Forest Whitaker\u2019s Saw Gerrera and Genevieve O'Reilly\u2019s Mon Mothma\u2019s appearances in Rogue One also marks them as safe. Andor brings grit and politics to Star Wars When it comes to newcomers like Denise Gough\u2019s Dedra Meero, Kyle Soller\u2019s Syril Karn, and Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s shadowy Luthen Rael, their futures are less clear.<\/span><\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Thankfully, it looks like they\u2019re all coming back for Andor season two.Warning: Andor S1 spoilers ahead...(L-R): Corv (Noof Ousellam), Lieutenant Keysax (Nick Moss), Supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough), and Captain Vanis Tigo (Wilf Scolding) in Andor. (Lucasfilm)During the finale titled Rix Road, our cast of heroes and villains gathered on Ferrix for the funeral of Maarva (Fiona Shaw). The Imperial Security Bureau was correct in thinking the death of Cassian\u2019s adoptive mother would lure him out of hiding following his escape from the Narkina 5 prison facility, meaning Meero and the rest of the ISB agents closed the net. Joining the party was Karn, who continues his obsession with Meero and mission of vengeance for Cassian costing him his job with Preox-Morlana. How costumes helped Andor stars find their characters. Cassian being hunted by the Empire and Imperial wannabees wasn\u2019t enough, Luthen was on Ferrix and ready to take out Cassian for fear the rogue Rebel knows too much.<\/span><\/strong><\/p> <\/p> There was the welcome return of Shaw (via hologram), as a massive version of Maarva inspired the people of Ferrix to turn against the Empire. Saying, \u201cI\u2019d wake up early and be fighting these bastards,\u201d Maarva inspires a young boy to throw a pipe bomb at the ISB, as things literally explode. The story continues there are more ghosts from beyond the grave, thanks to Alex Lawther\u2019s Nemik and his manifesto. Echoing Yoda\u2019s iconic, \u201cDo or do not, there is no try,\u201d Nemik\u2019s voiceover says, \u201cOne single thing will break the siege. Remember this\u2026 try.\u201dMaarva (Fiona Shaw) in a scene from Andor. (Lucasfilm)There\u2019s some poignant foreshadowing here, and while Andor season one gave a fleeting cameo to Saw and his Partisans, mentions of Anto \u201cMacGuffin\u201d Kreegyr and his Rebels show how the various factions of the Rebellion are still scattered at this point in the timeline. The likes of the Aldhani heist, Narkina 5 escape, Kreegyr\u2019s off-screen death at Spellhaus, and now the Ferrix incident are all likely to inspire more Rebels to rally for the cause. Cassian manages to break Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) free from Meero\u2019s clutches and sends her off to Gangi Moon with B2EMO and Brasso (Joplin Sibtain). Cass doesn\u2019t join them, though, because he has unfinished business with Luthen.<\/span><\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Cassian tells Rael, \u201cKill me, or take me in.\u201d A smirking Rael then welcomes Cassian to the Rebellion. We don\u2019t know what\u2019s next for the pair in season two, but with Mon Mothma under pressure on Coruscant \u2014 and Luthen not appearing elsewhere in the franchise\u2019s canon \u2014 some think he\u2019ll eventually sacrifice himself to save Senator Mothma for the greater good of the Rebellion.Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) in Andor. (Lucasfilm)Speaking of Mothma, we were on the money that her driver was spying on her. She\u2019s out of a jam by blaming her husband for their missing funds, but she\u2019s over a barrel as she marries her daughter off to the shady Davo Sculdun (Richard Dillane). We know that Mothma will eventually quit the Galactic Senate to become a full-time Rebel thanks to the Ghorman Massacre that was foreshadowed in season one, but whether she can keep her cover until then remains to be seen. Other major players include Meero and Karn, who look set to become the galaxy\u2019s most loathsome power couple. Karn has been trying to get inside the ISB since the very start, and after saving Meero\u2019s life on Ferrix, he could soon be rising through the ranks. (LR): Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), Leida Mothma (Bronte Carmichael), and Perrin Fertha (Alastair Mackenzie) in Andor. (Lucasfilm)And there we have it. Going from an unlikely recruit who was paid for his services to a full-blown Rebel, Cassian\u2019s season one arc helps us understand how he becomes the plucky pilot who steals the plans to the Death Star in Rogue One. Speaking of which, we can\u2019t discuss the Andor finale without mentioning THAT post-credit scene. There were theories that the Narkina 5 prisoners were building parts for the Death Star, and as the camera pans out, Andor confirms the heartbreaking twist that Cassian and Melshi (Duncan Pow) inadvertently helped complete the very weapon that will kill them in Rogue One.<\/span><\/strong><\/p> <\/p> How to watch Star Wars in the correct order spark of the Rebellion is here, and while we\u2019re still five years from the destruction of the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin, Rix Road neatly cues up season two\u2019s jump through time. Felicity Jones as Jynn Erso and Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. (Lucasfilm\/Disney) Gilroy has suggested that season two will be split into three blocks of four episodes \u2014 with each charting a different year up until 0 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). Much like how Rogue One ended aboard the Tantive IV and the start of 1977\u2019s A New Hope, Andor is expected to end with a tie into Rogue One. There\u2019s no release date for Andor season two, but we know we\u2019ll be heading to the Rebel base on Yavin 4. Andor season one lives up to its promise that it wouldn\u2019t bend to the usual fan service of the series; however, that didn\u2019t stop a slew of Easter eggs to the wider lore appearing in Luthen\u2019s shop on Coruscant. Every Star Wars movie and TV coming soon as we head into season two, there\u2019s already word that Alan Tudyk could reprise his Rogue One role as K-2SO. In terms of others, Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendelsohn, and the rest of the Rogue One cast could stop by, while Star Wars Rebels favorites including Hera Syndulla and Grand Admiral Thrawn could make their live-action debut. Finally, it just wouldn\u2019t be Star Wars without the obligatory cameo from Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine. Andor S1 is now streaming on Disney+. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>","urlTitle":"how-andors-finale-sets-up-season-2","url":"\/blog\/how-andors-finale-sets-up-season-2\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/how-andors-finale-sets-up-season-2\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/crazy-teezeandjojosstores.com\/blog\/how-andors-finale-sets-up-season-2\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1669425590,"updatedAt":1669427831,"publishedAt":1669427831,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":103577,"name":"Crazy-Teeze and JOJOS Stores"},"tags":[{"id":933,"code":"blog","name":"Blog","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/blog\/"}],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/soo4hukhiuueoqhiof0qnal1n4nujuiv6fu5xbkd0vfoej43.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/soo4hukhiuueoqhiof0qnal1n4nujuiv6fu5xbkd0vfoej43.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/soo4hukhiuueoqhiof0qnal1n4nujuiv6fu5xbkd0vfoej43.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"How Andor's finale sets up Season 2","metaDescription":"How Andor's finale sets up Season 2: Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Andor.
