Work continues on season 2 of Andor with cameras currently rolling in Valencia, Spain. Characters like Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Riley) have all been spotted on set in recent weeks, and these new videos offer a look at a very intriguing meeting.
As you can see below, Cassian and Mon are finally set to cross paths, and it's possible this is their first meeting. We will get to see that in the second and final season, anyway, but what's happening here?
It's hard to say without context, but Cassian appears to be pleading with Mon as they walk frantically through a location that looks very much like Coruscant. Mon seems a little reluctant, but Cassian is trying to lead her to parts unknown (all while avoiding Imperials, of course).
Bespin Bulletin (via SFFGazette.com) has shared some photos from the set and believes Robert Emms (Lonni Jung) and Kleya Marki (Elizabeth Dulau) have also been present lately. There's some speculation that, rather than this being Coruscant, it's Mon Mothma's home world of Chandirla, but time will tell on that front.
We know we'll reach a point where Mon publicly makes her feelings about the Empire known before setting off to lead the Rebellion, and that's a moment we anticipate being covered during Andor's second batch of episodes.
Despite a slow start, the show's first season proved to be nothing short of phenomenal and delivered a new take on this Galaxy Far, Far Away. As a result, excitement for the show's return is now through the roof.
Check out Cassian's meeting with Mon Mothma below with footage of some Imperial Stormtroopers marching through this unknown location.
