Spoilers Andor season one

[JD]

That part at least is not a concern since there was no romance between those two. Like, at all.
That embrace at the end was clearly a "camaraderie + we're about to die" thing, not a "we both caught some feels" thing. I don't get how people can look at that and conclude that suddenly they're in love, where literally nothing else in the movie supports it.
Actually that's a lie, I do get how; a lifetime watching poorly written movies in which it's just assumed that the male and female leads will fall in love by the end (even when it makes no sense.)
I recall a similar confusion over the end of 'Pacific Rim' where basically the same thing happens . . . only it's not an "oh fuck we're dead!" hug, it's an "oh fuck we're alive!" hug. So same, but also opposite. And again; zero romance.

Oh, I didn't realize it was just a hug, I could have sworn this kissed.
But even without romance I still don't like the idea of Jyn being Cassian's sister, it's just way to big of case of small universe syndrome, which is already running rampant throughout the Star Wars universe.

Hyperspace tends to make things small...that and if things all need to got through Alliance HQ

But even without romance I still don't like the idea of Jyn being Cassian's sister, it's just way to big of case of small universe syndrome, which is already running rampant throughout the Star Wars universe.

As I already illustrated, there's a plethora of reasons why Jyn physically cannot be Kerri and that's it's a fundamentally dumb idea. Between the movie and the two tie-in novels, her backstory is pretty thoroughly covered. And not to repeat myself but the fact that she's the wrong ethnicity makes the whole thing a non-starter.

All I'm saying here is that the romance angle isn't a disqualifying factor, because there is not romance.

 

[Set Harth]

I thought it was Bix at one point.

 

[Crewman6]

I thought it was Bix at one point.

Jyn is not Bix. That's even more ridiculous!

 

[Turtletrekker]

Jyn is not Bix. That's even more ridiculous!

I don't think that he was saying that Jyn was Bix, I think he was saying that Bix was Cassian's sister.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

I suspected that Andor's sister might be the brothel hostess on Morlana One [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unidentified_brothel_hostess].

That was my thought as well on first watch.

 

[Set Harth]

That never would have occurred to me.

 

[Crewman6]

I don't think that he was saying that Jyn was Bix, I think he was saying that Bix was Cassian's sister.

Well, that makes even less sense since Bix knows Cassian is from Kenari and because they also used to bone.

 

[Set Harth]

and because they also used to bone.

I mean, it's Star Wars

 

[Crewman6]

I suspected that Andor's sister might be the brothel hostess on Morlana One [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unidentified_brothel_hostess].

Also no

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Also no

Yeah, hence the past tense.

Why does this have to be a mystery with a surprise twist? Why does his sister have to secretly be someone we already know? Star Wars did that like once, and even then it was an 11th hour decision because Lucas changed his mind and decided he didn't want to do a sequel trilogy about Luke's sister (who wasn't Leia) after all. It's not something to be made a habit of.
Cassian doesn't even know if Kerri is still alive, and indeed the way Maarva tells it: she's almost certainly dead along with everyone else left behind on Kenari. He's just chasing a slim hope and a fantasy by running down any mere hint of a rumour about a girl from Kenari . . . in a galaxy of a million inhabited systems with quintillions of beings. Needle in a haystack would be a breeze compared to that. Indeed, kicking over that rock in utter futility is how he got in this deep in the first place. Why else do you think he owes money to so many people? He's not a gambler, or much of a drinker. We haven't seen him use a single deathstick or other recreational vice that usually comes with eyeball level debt. So the logical conclusion is that he's been spending it all on his hopeless quest.

Also, just think it through for just a second; if he found Kerri, alive and well, would he have been so willing to dive head first into a suicide mission to Scarif? Such things are for people with nothing left to loose. Hell, he literally says to Jyn "you're not the only one who lost everything!" Does that sound like the words of a person who's been reunited with his long lost sister against all odds? No, it doesn't, does it?

People who have played the The Last of Us video game, I request that you refrain from spoiling the end of the TLOU series for those of us who have not played the games.

Actually it totally does -- but then loses her due to the EMpire shortly after the reunion. I suspect that Syril Karn will be the one to do it, and shrtly thereafter die by ANdor's hands.

An all-new Phase II Clone Trooper sculpt(and plain white on top of that) based on Andor was revealed today in a Hasbro Star Wars livestream. At just one per case, though, this one's going to be a hard score at retail and scalper bait.

Personally I prefer the detailing on the 1:1 figure.

That was my thought as well, and could send him finding her and losing her again could be a big part of how he ended up so cynical.
But the fact that they never really brought her up again after the first episode, makes me think that we probably aren't going back to it. And if they do, I doubt she'll be anybody we know,

What you're describing is a cheap revenge story, which is not what 'Andor' has been thus far and doesn't seem to be where it's going. It's a story about radicalisation, both of Cassian & of Syril (also Mon Mothma, Luthen, and Saw all at various stages), and I doubt the show will squander what few episode remain of it's final season to such a dead-end plotline.
We already know how Cassian gets so jaded. He told us in 'Rogue One', and we literally saw him do it in his introduction, and struggle with it on Eadu; committing atrocities in the name of freedom. That's his whole arc in the movie.

Adding "and also sister was dead, then not, the dead again" adds nothing to that. Indeed the way season one ended it seemed pretty clear he was putting all of that stuff with Kenari behind him and is moving on to a new purpose. The show's job now is to depict and contextualize all of those terrible things he has to do.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but motivating a male protagonist by having the villain murder a female character they care for is not a good look. Fridging Kerri is not the smart move here (mostly because she's already dead), and this show has already proven it's more sophisticated than that.
