Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Cast, Character & Cameo Guide
When Rogue One: A Star Wars Story came out, it answered a 40-year-old Star Wars mystery. Here’s a guide to its cast, characters, and cameos.
K-2SO’s Backstory Has Long Since Been Anticipated
K-2SO’s backstory was only briefly hinted at inRogue One, and the idea of learning about his origin story has been one of the most exciting things aboutAndor.Rogue Onealso implied that K-2 and Cassian had a very lengthy history together, though the timing of the movie limited how much of that it could show. Unfortunately, the ending ofRogue Onealso limited how many times he could appear inStar Warsstories.Knowing K-2SO’s ultimate fate hasn’t deterred fans from wanting to know more about him, though, and nowStar Warsis finally going to answer those wishes.
Andor could finally fulfillStar Warsfans' wishes to see more of Cassian and K-2 on-screen.
Cassian’s story has obviously been fleshed out inAndor, but his history with K-2 has already been seen before inStar Wars. The comic “Rogue One - Cassian & K-2SO Special 1” detailed how the two met, and how Cassian reprogrammed K-2’s Imperial protocols.It’s not clear ifAndorseason 2 will directly adapt that comic and moment in Cassian and K-2’s relationship, but it will undoubtedly reveal some of the misadventures they got into beforeRogue One. If it does,Andorcould finally fulfillStar Warsfans' wishes to see more of Cassian and K-2 on-screen.
It also seems thatAndorseason 2 will be able to give a good glimpse into several different eras of Cassian and K-2SO’s relationship.Andorseason 2 will have some time jumpsthat span multiple years.That means the show could depict K-2 and Cassian’s relationship developing over time, and audiences can watch as they become closer as friends.
