What to Expect Before the Star Wars Series ReturnsMatthew and Alex talk about everything we need to know for Andor Season 2! The new season will bridge the gap between the first season and Rogue One, showing the evolution of the Rebellion during a crucial five-year period.Matthew and Alex reflect on what made Andor Season 1 such a groundbreaking addition to Star Wars storytelling — its mature themes, complex moral questions, and unprecedented quality of writing and acting. The hosts discuss how Season 1 presented a more "adult" version of Star Wars that wasn't afraid to explore the moral complexities of rebellion and resistance.What loose threads from Season 1 might Season 2 address?One of the major talking points is how Season 2 might resolve storylines introduced but not concluded in Season 1. The hosts discuss the possibility of exploring Cassian's search for his sister — including a fan theory that Kleya, Luthen's assistant, might actually be Cassian's long-lost sister. They also wonder if we'll learn more about Cassian's feelings regarding his adoption by Maarva.How will Mon Mothma's story progress?The hosts speculate on Mon Mothma's storyline, particularly regarding the potential arranged marriage of her daughter to secure funding for the Rebellion. They note how Season 1 explored themes of tradition across different cultures, and how this might continue to play a role as Mon Mothma navigates her responsibilities to both family and revolution.What other Star Wars characters might appear in Season 2?
