Work is currently underway on Andor season 2 in London, and some new set photos (via SFFGazette.com) have revealed Cassian Andor's (Diego Luna) reunion with Bix (Adria Arjona).
In the season 1 finale, Cassian managed to rescue her from the Empire, but his old friend had been put through the wringer by her captors. We're not sure if Box has made a full recovery by the time this meeting takes place, but she looks deadly serious during this meeting with the Rebel.
Whereas the first batch of episodes took place over a relatively small period of time, the next 12 will cover the subsequent four years of Cassian's life as a Rebel prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. With that in mind, we have no idea when this meeting is actually taking place!
It's believed Lucasfilm originally planned to tell this story over five 12-episode seasons, with each of them covering a year in Cassian's life. Luckily, they thought better of it, but by that point, plans were already in place for the first 12 to cover one year; in season 2, we're getting three episodes per year.
Given those planned time jumps, there's nothing to say this is the first time Cassian and Bix have crossed paths since we last saw them. Either way, we'd guess that she's looking to get involved with Luthen Rael's Rebellion!
Andor presents Star Wars from a different perspective, focusing on everyday people whose lives are affected by the Empire. The decisions they make have real consequences, and the stakes for them - and the Galaxy - couldn’t be higher.
The show has been widely hailed as the best Star Wars TV series on Disney+, and it definitely left a lasting impact. Despite reports the show struggled to find an audience, we're sure it will have legs over time, and the story will get a proper conclusion - leading us straight into Rogue One - now season 2 is moving ahead as planned.
