Andor Season 1 was set so long before the events of Rogue One that it was easy to forget where Cassian Andor’s story was heading towards. But as each chapter of Season 2 has inched further and further through the timeline, things are starting to fall into place: the crew is assembling on Yavin, Saw Gerrera is doing his thing, and even Andor’s old prison buddy Melshi is onboard.
In the final episodes, Andor has the same immediate energy as Rogue One, crawling right up to the edge of its chronology. That includes referencing all the same characters, including one of the most underrated Rogue One heroes.
