Sorry, Season 3 enthusiasts — Andor has officially come to a close.
The Star Wars prequel series has concluded with Season 2, now available on Disney+, seamlessly leading into the storyline of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). The concluding episode, entitled “Jedha, Kyber, Erso,” serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges ahead for Cassian Andor (Diego Luna): a mission to steal the Death Star plans that will ultimately cost him his life.
With this, the franchise wraps up what could be dubbed the “Death Star trilogy” — a continuous narrative thread that connects Andor, Rogue One, and the original 1977 Star Wars film (now recognized as Episode IV: A New Hope). This is the most cohesively linked storyline in the Star Wars universe thus far.
Here’s an overview of where all the key characters end up — and how Andor intertwines everything.
What’s Next for Cassian Andor?
As the series winds down, Cassian is gearing up for an essential meeting with an informant named Tivik (Daniel Mays) at the trading post of Kafrene. This meeting, which initiates Rogue One, is where Cassian learns about the Death Star from an Imperial pilot defecting. Tivik, who has been embedded with Saw Gerrera’s rebel group on Jedha, discloses that Galen Erso — a crucial Imperial engineer — has sent a warning concerning a “planet killer.”
The meeting takes a deadly turn. Tivik, injured and frantic, grabs the attention of Stormtroopers. Unable to flee, he is killed by Cassian in a desperate act — marking one of Cassian’s darkest moments.
Simultaneously, General Draven (Alistair Petrie) dispatches Melshi (Duncan Pow) to rescue Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) from an Imperial labor camp. Cassian and Jyn subsequently cross paths on Yavin IV and set off for Jedha, where they receive Galen’s message: he has embedded a critical flaw in the Death Star.
The only way to exploit that flaw is to obtain the plans from the Imperial archive on Scarif. Cassian and Jyn manage to accomplish this — but meet their end in the process, as the Death Star fires upon the planet. Their ultimate sacrifice leads directly to Princess Leia receiving the plans, paving the way for A New Hope.
Was there a romantic connection between Cassian and Jyn? The series keeps it open to interpretation. But Andor suggests that Cassian might have had thoughts of someone else in his final moments.
What Happens to Bix?
In the closing moments of Andor, Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) is spotted on the agricultural planet Mina-Rau — the same location where she and Cassian resided early in Season 2. She escaped there a year prior to avoid obstructing Cassian’s rising role in the Rebellion.
It appears she wished to be discovered. Her whereabouts weren’t precisely concealed, and Vel (Faye Marsay) even encourages Cassian to seek her out. He vows to do so after completing his next mission — a mission from which he never returns.
Bix is ultimately seen holding a child — unmistakably Cassian’s. The child’s identity remains undisclosed, but it’s plausible they could appear in forthcoming Star Wars narratives. For now, the image of Bix and her child echoes the final scene of Rogue One: a beacon of hope passed to the next generation.
What About Cassian’s Sister?
Cassian’s quest for his sister was a significant storyline early on in Andor. In the series finale, he dreams of her as she was on their home planet, Kenari. But did he ever track her down?
No. As stated by showrunner Tony Gilroy, Cassian’s sister perished on Kenari. Her absence fuels Cassian’s savior complex — a motivating factor behind his desire to rescue others, including Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau), Luthen’s aide and the actual mastermind of the rebel network. Although some fans speculated that Kleya might be Cassian’s sister, Gilroy confirmed that this is not the case.
What Becomes of Saw Gerrera and the Rebels?
In Rogue One, Tivik informs Cassian that Saw Gerrera’s group is “running on fumes.” Andor provides a literal twist to that remark: Saw is addicted to rhydonium, a volatile fuel for starships, which clarifies his dependence on a breathing mask.
Saw employs rhydonium in a warped initiation ceremony, believing that revolution demands madness — and that rebels must embody the explosive fuel: unpredictable and primed for ignition.
Despite his extremism, Saw isn’t entirely wrong. The Rebellion requires friction to battle the Empire. Yet, internal divisions persist. On Yavin IV, figures like Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and Bail Organa (Benjamin Bratt in Andor, Jimmy Smits in Rogue One) remain cautious about taking action. They
