Spoilers Andor - Season 2

Rewatching Rogue One, man Jyn really got sent to minimum security compared to Narkina.
Jyn: Oh you're THE Cassian Andor?

Cassian: You've heard of me?

Jyn: Yeah one of the fellow prisoners I was with before you freed me, some blonde lady by the name of Dedra Meero, kept screaming "This is all Cassian Andor's fault!" over and over again.
 
I managed to avoid most spoilers except I did see photos of Bix and the baby.
I managed to avoid that one, thank god, but I did see a youtube thumbnail that showed an image from the last cassian scene, which just showed cassian, so it wasn't much of a spoiler at all because we knew he had to survive the show.
Also, at a point when I was still only about 50% through the last three episodes, I reflexively jumped onto the BBS and right into the Andor thread without consciously realizing what I was doing, and saw a vaguely worded post about Dedra before suddenly coming to my senses and getting the hell out. But at the point where I had left off it had already been made clear that she was in some kind of trouble so that wasn't exactly a back-breaking spoiler either.
 
Meesa not notice this until today-ee.

You know, I'll always have issues with Rogue One, but damn if the film doesn't get better every time I watch it and my issues seem less and less important (although deep fake Cushing will always freak me out and annoy me)

Love that Mon Mothma actually looks older 9 years ago than she does now.

Couple of things.

1. Andor and K2 left together at the end of Andor, but in R1 they're on different missions on different planets?

2. Chirrut talks about him and Baze having been in lots of cages and Cassian intimates he's never been imprisoned before...

Anyway that hit harder than it ever did before and, you know, I'm not a great one for special editions and inserting characters into existing films, but I'd kinda make an exception to show a blink and you'll miss them glimpse of Kleya, Vel and Wilmon in the background on Yavin.
 
Kind of a random thought. What happens to R2-D2 and C-3PO after The Rise of Skywalker? Their masters have died They have basically been in the service of the Skywalker and associated families for almost 70 years. Are they considered independent droids, or are they on retainer of the Republic successor government? Do they pass to Rey or another of the main characters?
I'm assuming they go to Rey, Finn and/or Poe. 3PO was already with them in The Rise of Skywalker.
Didn't the Ahsoka novel already go there?

( I have to wonder how the existence of Ilum fits into Andor/R1's focus of "they need Jedha for kyber". )
I thought Fallen Order came out before the Ahsoka book?
Tony Gilroy is now on record as saying they wanted to use K2 sparingly for numerous reasons: You can't really bring along a hulking Imperial droid on most undercover missions and having him around while he's so powerful gets the characters out of danger too easily.
Sure, but I still wouldn't be surprised if Alan Tudyk's Resident Alien schedule had some impact on his availability for this, especially since the two shows are premiering so close together.

I'm a little confused on the timeline for this, Rogue One, and A New Hope. They have this ending and Rogue One at BBY 1, but I didn't think the main body of Rogue One covered that much time, and A New Hope doesn't seem to cover more than a few days. Am I really misjudging how much time this stuff all covers, or do they just call everything before The Battle of Yavin BBY1 not matter if it's 365 (or however long their years are) days or 1 day before the battle.

No.

The latter is my guess. However, Gilroy said in an interview that the series covers a five-year period. :shrug:
 
Episodes 10 through 12 take place over twelve months of time, but I doubt the series ends precisely on any new year. It's 0 BBY during Episode 12 but we don't know how long it's been 0 BBY.
 
If you go by the Lothal Calendar (wherever that comes from, I just saw it on Wookieepedia), this is the time period the series takes place over:

3272 (BBY 5) - Andor S1
3273 (BBY 4) - Andor S2 arc 1
3274 (BBY 3) - Andor S2 arc 2
3275 (BBY 2) - Andor S2 arc 3
3276 (BBY 1) - Andor S2 arc 4 / Rogue One
3277 (BBY 0) - A New Hope
 
Yeah, it seems to be that if you consider BBY 1 to be an actual year, then Rogue One ends on December 31st and Star Wars starts on January 1st BBY 0.

There is no year zero in calendars, generally. Han Solo was hired by Luke and Obi Wan in BBY 1, and the throne room ceremony a few days later was in ABY 1. Wookiepedia disagrees with my assessment, but the show apparently doesn’t.

We really should stick to the calendars when the Battle of Yavin was May 25, xx77, it makes everything a bit less stupid and gives a better intuitive understanding of how far apart events were in a contemporary historical sense. I also hate that nuBSG settled on a calendar when the Cylon attack happened in their year 2000. I remember the real year 2000. There is no way that no one would mention that the world ended in the year 2000 for four years. A good chunk of people would’ve expected it to, since it was a big, round number. But I digress.

I guess the BBY calendar makes sense, since Andor sets up the Death Star as a classical nemesis for Cassian, his opposite number in all respects, leading parallel lives (come to think of it, I’m guessing whatever happened on Kenari with the strip-mining and the weird Republic/Separatist ship was related to the Ultimate Weapon, as it was called, just for thematic reasons). Still, I would’ve phrased it as a countdown. Probably to something grim. The Disaster at Alderaan, or Jedda, maybe. Five years before the Disaster. Two years before the Disaster. Eight days before the Disaster.
 
Thought I stick rouge one on.
The meeting with Andor and his contact. Just noticed Andor knows Galen Erso's full name, which was given to him via the info from Kleya.
Also is that Melshi breaking out Jyn?
