While Season 1 of Andor failed to deliver on a few of its promises (where’s Cassian’s sister?) Season 2 of the show seems determined to close all the gaps in this particular part of the Star Wars timeline. By the time Luke Skywalker became Red 5 and flew into the Death Star Trench, the Rebellion against the Empire was well underway. In 2016, Rogue One took us to a point just before the events of A New Hope, revealing rag-tag heroes who we’d never heard of before. And now, one under-the-radar partnership from this era will finally be explained.
In the official trailer for Andor Season 2, there’s one scene that seems to set up how Cassian will become besties with a rogue security droid whom we all know and love as K-2SO. Here’s the blink-and-you’ll miss-it moments in the new trailer, and why this all almost certainly establishes this essential storyline.
