Overview

• Tony Gilroy opted against including a Jyn Erso cameo in the Andor season 2 finale, calling it 'lame' and 'disrespectful' to Rogue One's story.
• The finale was designed as a unique, low-hype episode that bridges directly into the events of Rogue One without relying on gratuitous cameos.
• Key Rogue One characters like Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, Orson Krennic, and Ruescott Melshi returned in season 2 to maintain narrative continuity.
• Bail Organa was recast from Jimmy Smits to Benjamin Bratt due to Smits' unavailability, reflecting the production's commitment to character integration.
• The final shot featuring Bix and Cassian’s child has sparked fan discussions, reframing perceptions of Cassian's relationships, particularly with Jyn Erso.
