Spoilers Andor season one

Yes I do wonder if it'll have the same slow burn as the first season, and whether the time jumps will work or will jar, given the quality of the writing on S1 I'm trusting it will work just fine.
My suspicion is that it'll be a similar structure as season 1 with several 2 to 4 episode mini-arcs, with a time jump in-between them. Shouldn't be too jarring if it's plotted sensibly, and I see no reason to assume it won't be.
Indeed, I can see say a three episode mini-arc in S2 going a similar way it did in S1, first two episodes are gradual buildup, with Shit Getting Real in the third.
 
I thought that too. Then it went nowhere, and Andor went elsewhere.
Which pretty much sums it up, and that's likely very intentional on the part of the writers; His sister is almost certainly dead, and he's literally chasing a ghost.

Maybe there was a girl working there who was from Kenari, but Kenari is a whole damn planet; she could have been from some other surviving settlement on the planet and got out before the accident. Or she's actually from Cann'arey, Konarii, Kenahree, or one of several dozen other similarly pronounced planets and moons (it's a big galaxy after all.) Or maybe she's from someone else entirely and just said she was from Kenari precisely because it's a dead world and she doesn't want anyone looking for her, for entirely unrelated but not at all difficult to understand reasons for a person in her position.
 
I hope we see a live action Kallus passing off the Fulcrum codename to Cassian. He doesn't need to die but a character like Kallus probably should sacrifice himself on behalf of the Rebel Alliance as a form of completing penance for his years serving the Empire.
 
Then a live action handoff would be fantastic. I don't know who I'd cast as him but someone who can rock those sideburns would definitely be a requirement.
 
Depends on when, since Ahsoka disappeared about a year or two after the events of the first season of Andor, for a bit followed by Kallus sort of taking the codename for a year before being discovered. So the time frame of Cassian having that codename would be a roughly year to year and a half long window between Kallus joining the Rebellion and Rogue One.

Though there may be multiple Fulcrum agents...since that would throw off the Empire even more. Fulcrums for different sectors, or Oversector groups so they don't overlap (to keep cell structures intact).

Fulcrum isn't a specific agent's codename, or some sort of title, it's just a catch-all codename for any embedded agent. Presumably it's so if the Empire intercepts a dispatch they have no way of knowing if they have one mole or a hundred. Also shields the Rebel moles from Imperial counterintelligence; since the Alliance by necessity must depend on a lot of Imperial defectors, there's always the chance one of them is a double agent. Such an infiltrator however won't have a lot of luck uncovering a fulcrum agent's identity since even the Rebels don't know it.

So yeah, there doesn't need to be any sort of handoff between Kallus & Cassian. Indeed I wouldn't be surprised if the show never bothers to mention Fulcrum at all.

Jensen Ackles, it would also keep my wife happy :)
I doubt he could pull off the accent. Also, I think he'd look weird as a blonde.
 
IIRC, they were aiming for a late summer/fall 2024 premiere. With the strikes it could very easily be pushed back to 2025.
