The first season of Andor was great, and it even featured some returning characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story including Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, and minor character Melshi.
With the second season incoming, we know that Krennic is going to make an appearance, but what about the lead of Rogue One herself Jyn Erso? Talking to EW, showrunner Tony Gilroy was asked if Jyn could make an appearance, to which he said:
“I’m not gonna answer that question fully. We’re not really teasers in our show, are we? We don’t really tease very much. Everything that we’re gonna bring in to get to Rogue is going to be organic. There’s nothing we’re bringing in for fun. Or just because somebody wants to see it. It has to be germane to the story.”
With Jyn meeting Cassian for the first time in Rogue One, it’s very likely they don’t run into each other in Season 2, but they could probably do a workaround where it’s Cassian who provides the intel of Jyn’s existence when they discover that Galen Erso is the architect behind the Death Star.
You know what, add Mads Mikkelsen to that Season 2 cameo wishlist as well.
With shows like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka being glorified cameo-fests, some fans welcome Andor’s story-first approach; that being said, it wouldn’t hurt to have a few familiar faces here and there. It’s just important not to rely too heavily on them.
It’s not clear what Star Wars has planned for the rest of the year, but for now, a lot of fans are eager for the return of one of the more mature Star Wars properties to come out of Disney+.
Andor Season 2 premieres on Disney+ on April 22.
