The Andor creator, Tony Gilroy, deepens the tragedy of Rogue One with one heartbreaking twist surrounding Bix in the series finale.

The final arc of “Andor” Season 2 has our disparate rebels putting the pieces together about the Empire’s plans to build the Death Star. Luthen (Stellan Skarsgård) gave his life so Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau) could take the information he learned about the space station’s existence to Yavin IV.

Before Andor ’s first episode even premiered, Star Wars fans already knew Cassian Andor’s fate. And yet, his 24-episode journey from a lowly smuggler to a hero of the Rebellion was still the greatest Star Wars story told on screen since Rogue One in 2018. You know, the last time we saw Cassian Andor.

Why isn’t Bix in Rogue One? Adria Arjona reveals Tony Gilroy’s heartbreaking warning about Andor Season 2, Episode 9’s big twist.

"My son is a big Star Wars fan and often busts my balls about how little I know," Gilroy quips. Andor gives an origin story to one of the most memorable lines of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This wasn't originally in the script because Tony Gilroy thought the line had originated somewhere else in canon.
