Star Wars Reveals 9 ‘Andor’ Characters Survived to ‘Rogue One’ – Shocking Connections!

by

It has been confirmed that several major figures from the series Andor are still alive when the story of Rogue One starts. This news is straight from the newest addition to the Star Wars saga, giving fans a fresh perspective on how these two narratives intersect.

In the final episodes of ‘Andor’ Season 2, some characters who were initially introduced remain alive as events align with those depicted in ‘Rogue One’. Although major characters like Luthen Rael (played by Stellan Skarsgard) and Lonni Jung (portrayed by Robert Emms) don’t make it to the end of the series, many others step into significant roles during the time period covered by the original Star Wars trilogy. Some of these characters become key figures in the storylines of ‘Rogue One’ and even ‘A New Hope’, while others continue in more subtle ways within the broader Star Wars narrative. The entirety of ‘Andor’ Season 2 can now be streamed on Disney+.

Here’s a full list of the confirmed main characters who make it out of Andor alive:

Andor’s Main Characters Alive During Rogue One

Cassian Andor

Without a hint of shock, it’s clear that Diego Luna’s character Cassian Andor makes it through the incidents of Andor Season 2. By the finale, he is fully immersed in the Rebel movement, a transformation from a hesitant outlaw to a devoted operative. This development paves the way for his Captain position in Rogue One.

At the start of the movie, Cassian already holds a significant position within the Rebel Alliance as an intelligence officer and is assigned crucial tasks such as the one leading him to the Ring of Kafrene for a rendezvous with Tivik, which marks his initial appearance in “Rogue One”.

K-2SO

In the ninth episode of Season 2, K-2SO, originally voiced by Alan Tudyk, gets successfully reprogrammed by Cassian and the Rebel Alliance in the series “Andor”. By the last few episodes, he’s fully functional and is back to fighting alongside Cassian as his trusted companion, much like how fans recall from the movie “Rogue One”.

Vel Sartha

In the second season of Andor, Vel Sartha, portrayed by Faye Marsay, manages to make it through the series’ events and remains committed to the Rebellion, working from their base on Yavin. Although she isn’t visible in Rogue One, her character appears to have a significant role behind the scenes as the story approaches its key events.

Following Cassian’s rescue of Kleya Marki, Vel learns crucial information about the Death Star and shares it with her cousin Mon Mothma, enhancing the Rebellion’s understanding of the Empire’s powerful weapon. In the end, she is found conversing with Kleya following Luthen’s demise, silently carrying on her struggle against the Empire.

Wilmon Paak

In the finale of Andor Season 2, Wilmon Paak, played by Muhannad Bhaier, continues to live. However, he is absent from Rogue One. After surviving the riot on Ferrix and the subsequent Empire’s repression, it’s likely that Wilmon will embody youthful rebellion alongside Dreena in years to come on Yavin 4, serving as a symbol of resistance.

Kleya Marki

In the concluding episodes of the second season of Andor, the character Kleya Marki, portrayed by Elizabeth Dulau, assumes a significant position, becoming a pivotal figure in the Rebellion. Her past is unveiled in Episode 10, detailing how Luthen rescued and prepared her covertly as an undercover agent.

Following Luthen’s arrest, Kleya undertakes a bold mission to sneak into an Imperial hospital for a heartfelt farewell, and subsequently manages to leave Coruscant with assistance from Cassian, K-2SO, and Melshi. Although she is not seen in Rogue One>, her actions play a crucial role in expanding the Rebels’ intelligence operations on Yavin 4.

Bix Caleen

In the final episode of Andor, it was disclosed that Bix (played by Adria Arjona) bore a child with Cassian. However, this fact remained unknown to him as he lost his life during the battle at Scarif in Rogue One prior to the birth.

1 BBY found Bix nurturing their child on the tranquil Mina-Rau, the same planet where they once resided with Andor. This brief peek suggested that the future was molded by the selfless actions of individuals who kindled the flame of optimism.

Dedra Meero

At the culmination of Andor‘s second season, Denise Gough’s character Dedra Meero finds herself in a disastrous predicament. A promising ISB supervisor, her relentless pursuit of Luthen without authorization ultimately results in her apprehension following his demise. This is further exacerbated when it becomes known that she had unlawfully obtained classified information about the Death Star.

Her mistake provides Lonni Jung with an opportunity to share that information with the Rebellion, essentially ending her Imperial career for good. By the end of the story, Dedra is captured and held in the Narkina detention center (the same place where Cassian once managed to escape), leaving her future uncertain and open to speculation during the timeframe of Rogue One and beyond.

Mon Mothma

In the finale of “Andor” Season 2, Mon Mothma, skillfully played by Genevieve O’Reilly, takes center stage as fans anticipated, solidifying her role as a pivotal figure in the Rebel Alliance. With Luthen out of the picture, she ascends to one of the Rebellion’s top leadership positions, orchestrating operations from their base on Yavin 4.

In the movie “Rogue One”, she is given authority for the Scarif operation, and subsequently, in “A New Hope”, she takes up a crucial role as the mastermind behind the offensive against the Death Star.

Saw Gerrera

In “Andor” Season 2, Saw Gerrera, portrayed by Forest Whitaker, continued to be a stubbornly autonomous and erratic rebel character. His suspicion and unwillingness to fully embrace Luthen’s grand plan frequently conflicted with other rebel groups. This dynamic foreshadows his role in “Rogue One”, where he heads the Partisans on Jedha and ultimately meets his end during the Death Star’s initial test.

Andor’s Supporting Characters Who Survived Through Rogue One

Bail Organa

In the second season of the series “Andor”, Benjamin Bratt takes on the role of Bail Organa, who emerges as a key political ally to Mon Mothma and a covert champion for the Rebel movement. Throughout the season, he makes brief yet impactful appearances. By its conclusion, he is depicted working to organize initial resistance activities while still navigating carefully within the Senate.

In “Rogue One,” we find him again, readying to dispatch Princess Leia in search of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Regrettably, Bail does not make it to “A New Hope” as his life is claimed during the destruction of Alderaan by the Death Star.

Perrin Fertha

In the finale of Season 2, the character Perrin Fertha, portrayed by Alastair Mackenzie, has a tranquil, farewell scene. This occurs following Mon Mothma’s escape from Coruscant as she initiates her open revolt against the Empire in Andor>.

Or, more colloquially:
In the final episode of Season 2, Alastair Mackenzie’s character Perrin Fertha has a peaceful exit. This happens right after Mon Mothma escapes Coruscant to start her open uprising against the Empire in Andor>.

During the final scenes, we catch a quick glimpse of Perrin seated contentedly in a vehicle on Coruscant, with a woman peacefully dozing on him, hinting at his advancement and potential remarriage after Mon left him behind.

Ruescott Melshi

In the first season of Andor, Ruescott Melshi, previously an Imperial captive like Cassian, significantly contributed to the initial missions of the Rebellion.

In the movie “Rogue One”, Melshi gains the trust and position of a sergeant, taking part in crucial missions such as rescuing Jyn Erso from a detention camp. His strong leadership and bravery earned him a spot on the “Rogue One” team, where he battled in the Battle of Scarif to obtain the Death Star blueprints.

Davits Draven

In the continuation of his storyline from “Andor” Season 2, the character Davits Draven, portrayed by Alistair Petrie, made a reappearance. He managed to survive the ordeals he encountered earlier and joined forces with Cassian and the crew from “Rogue One.” His coordination proved vital for the mission’s success, even though his character wasn’t present after the Battle of Scarif in the main storyline. It is worth noting that, according to the comics, Draven eventually meets a tragic end at the hands of Darth Vader.

Dreena

As a passionate movie buff, I can’t help but share my thoughts on Ella Pellegrini’s character, Dreena, in Season 2 of “Andor.” She’s a stalwart member of the Ghorman Front, a daring resistance group standing up against the Empire’s tyranny over Ghorman. In a harrowing event known as the Ghorman Massacre, which took place in 2 BBY, she miraculously escaped and sent out an urgent distress call for aid. Her journey didn’t end there; she found solace and camaraderie with fellow rebel Wilmon and eventually sought refuge at the Rebel base on Yavin 4, just before the events that would unfold in “Rogue One.

B2EMO

Eventually, character B2 settled down in harmony with Bix and their offspring on Mina-Rau. Numerous viewers were touched as they watched him live a tranquil, satisfied existence at the conclusion of Andor Season 2.

Orson Krennic

In the series “Andor,” Orson Krennic (played by Ben Mendelsohn) was last depicted admiringly looking at the Death Star as it neared completion, hinting at the destruction it would cause later. He subsequently encountered conflicts with Grand Moff Tarkin and rebel forces in “Rogue One,” striving to keep control over his project. Tragically, Krennic met his end on Scarif, a fate sealed when the Death Star, paradoxically, was utilized to eliminate all evidence of the rebel infiltration, along with Krennic himself.
