ANDOR Star Diego Luna And Showrunner Tony Gilroy Suggest We'll Learn More About Cassian's Sister In Season 2

Andor star Diego Luna and showrunner Tony Gilroy have weighed in on what's happening with that subplot surrounding Cassian Andor's sister, suggesting it could be revisited in the upcoming second season.

Andor's first few episodes quickly established that Cassian was searching for his sister. The show devoted only a small amount of time to showing his early life on Kenari, with it later revealed that the orphans - part of a group of children fighting for survival on a planet ravaged by the Empire - had been separated when "Kass" was taken from the planet by Maarva. 

She did that to save him, but Cassian has quite clearly devoted a lot of his life to tracking his sister down...with no luck. During their final exchange, Maarva tries to discourage him from that mission, insisting that Kerri is gone and he will never find her.

It was around that point poor Cassian ended up in prison on Narkina 5, bringing an underwhelming end to the subplot. During a recent interview with Collider (via SFFGazette.com), Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy said the mystery surrounding Kerri is "to be determined."

"A lot of times people don't trust what people say in the show," he added. "I saw people saying, 'Oh, Luthen’s monologue means something else,' 'This means something else.' Maarva's kinda telling the truth. I'd say TBD, I don't want to close the door on it."

We'd like to see this touched in season two, though with four three-episode arcs devoted to the next four years in Cassian's life, it's tough to say when and where it will happen. As for Diego Luna, he seems far more confident we'll pick up with the Rebel's hunt for his sister. 

"I don't think it's ever over. I don't think it's over in Rogue One, because I see that as one thing. It's like the feeling, it's one of those things that kind of follow every decision you make, or never letting [go] anymore, not again. That kind of thing. And I think that's behind the decision of that last mission, that suicide mission in Rogue One."

"That's for her. That's for Maarva, that's for his people, for his community. I love the arc that Tony has built, and the arc ends in Rogue One, not in Season 2. I think it's going to be quite amazing to watch Rogue One after you see Season 2. I think you'll see a different film. For sure, you'll understand the character from a different perspective, and you'll be with him in a different way."

Season 2 of Andor is definitely going to be interesting, and no matter what sort of answers we do or don't get regarding Cassian's sister, that should be an absolute must-watch. 

All twelve episodes of Andor are now streaming on Disney+.

This is just getting 2 seasons, or was it 3?

I watched the first half week to week. Meh...

I watched the second half in one sitting and cried like a baby and cheered.

Disney+ needs to recognize when to drop "pieces, chunks, or the whole thing."

Because while some material works with weekly cliffhangers and momentum building; others really need to find a groove with the audience and establish satisfying character arcs and narrative choices.

Andor would have worked SO much better 3 episodes at a time or the whole season releasing on day one.

I fear Willow is also gonna struggle with being released weekly. (storywise and pacing, at least)

Man this easily has some of the best writing, if not the best writing of anything Star Wars related. They've managed to make a grounded take on SW one of the best things to happen the franchise.

This show had a slow start but in the end it all paid off and was nearly the best Star Wars Disney has made.
For me it’s…
1. The Mandalorian
2. Rogue One
3. Andor

Anything else Star Wars that’s been made so far by Disney doesn’t really matter to me. 🤷‍♂️🤣
