First Look at Cassian Andor’s New Outfit
A display spotted at D23 Brazil gives a glimpse into the upcoming season
For many Star Wars fans, Andor is still the best Disney+ show set in the Galaxy Far, Far Away Lucasfilm has produced, and even though we know how Rebel operative Cassian Andor’s story ultimately ends (spoiler alert: not well), there’s a lot of excitement for the upcoming second season, which will lead directly into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
We’re expecting the first teaser to debut during D23 Brazil at some point tomorrow (whether it will be released online afterwards remains to be seen), but for now, a display spotted at the event gives us a first look at star Diego Luna as the returning Cassian Andor sporting a new outfit.
Diego Luna Teases Rogue One Connections
Confirmation of characters from Rogue One appearing in season 2
During an appearance at this year’s ACE Superhero Comic Con (via The Popverse), Luna shared his enthusiasm for the show’s return, while confirming that we will see other characters from Rogue One during season 2.
"I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize. There will be cool stuff. For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight to Rogue One after watching this second season, because you will see Rogue One from a different perspective. I promise you that."
"It’s fantastic," Luna continued. "The only thing I can tell you is what happens at the end. It’s the world upside down. That’s the only thing you don’t talk about in an interview, but here we all know what the end is. I can tell you one thing, Tony Gilroy is a fantastic writer, and he created amazing characters that we got to meet in Andor season one. It’s going to be a very rich second season, because all those stories matter today. It is a true ensemble piece. It got very complicated in season one, and everything has to get resolved. Every story matters."
