The new Star Wars: Andor is here! There's a lot to discuss! Andor series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor's journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It's an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero. Cassian Jeron Andor, also known by the aliases Willix, Aach, Joreth Sward, and the codename Fulcrum, was a human male soldier, pilot, and intelligence officer who was remembered as a hero of the Alliance to Restore the Republic after his death. Once a supporter of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, Andor eventually made his way into the Rebel movement during the Imperial Era and Galactic Civil War. Andor was a skilled operative, working as a spy and an assassin, performing many missions for the Alliance. As a child, Andor first fought against Galactic Republic forces in 20 BBY despite being only six years old. He also lost his father during the war. By 0 BBY, Andor was a captain for Alliance Intelligence and was assigned to assist in Operation Fracture, which was to extract an Imperial scientist, Galen Walton Erso, who had given a message to a cargo pilot, Bodhi Rook, who was defecting from the Empire to give the rebels information about a secret Imperial superweapon. Andor, with the help of his droid companion, K-2SO, and Galen's daughter Jyn Erso, who the rebels had rescued from an Imperial prison to help with the mission, recovered Rook and learned of the Death Star. When Alliance High Command rejected Jyn's plea to steal the Death Star plans from an Imperial installation on Scarif, Andor assembled a team of soldiers willing to act against High Command. He and Jyn then led the Rebel team, which included K-2SO, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Îmwe, and Sergeant Ruescott Melshi, on a rogue mission to Scarif, intending to steal the plans themselves. Andor and Jyn stole Imperial uniforms to allow them to sneak in to Scarif base along with K2, while Melshi led the bulk of their forces to plant detonators around the base to cause chaos. Andor, Jyn, and K2 made their way to the vault with the plans, and meanwhile the Alliance Fleet arrived after Alliance High Command decided to reinforce the strike team. Although the mission was a success, with Jyn succeeding in beaming the plans to the Rebel fleet above Scarif, Wilhuff Tarkin fired the Death Star's superlaser at Scarif base in an attempt to prevent the Alliance from acquiring the plans. Andor perished along with the rest of the team in the battle at the hands of the dreaded battle station. Andor was a human male standing at 1.78 meters tall with brown hair, brown eyes, and light skin. A man with striking good looks, Andor used his handsomeness to lure in the unsuspecting during his service as a Rebel spy. He was a committed, steady, practical, and by-the-book intelligence officer with a fair amount of combat experience, but that experience grew from missions that sometimes blurred the line between what was morally wrong or right. He eventually developed into a selfless man, which set him apart from other, more extreme rebels who blurred the same lines as him. Nevertheless cold and distant to others, Andor often kept quiet and reserved, a trait he had acquired due to his experience in war. Although fighting on the side of the Rebel Alliance, he'd been hardened by war to the point that he did not hesitate to commit morally questionable acts when necessary. During the days of the early rebel movement, he relied on the excuse that he was following orders to justify what he had done.
