Diego Luna was right – the Andor season 2 finale is already making us see Rogue One in a new light

Andor season 2 is already changing how we think about Rogue One, just as Diego Luna said it would – including one small detail at the start of the movie.

"Cassian questioning Tivik in Rogue One about what the imperial pilot said isn’t him just asking for more information, it's him confirming what he's been told by Luthen and Kleya," pointed out one fan on Twitter.

"They actually managed to get most of the info right too, he’s asking what kind of weapon, he already knows Galen’s name etc. really well done contingency," someone else replied.

Of course, with the context of Andor season 2, we now know that this meeting would have vindicated what Luthen and Kleya told him before their deaths about the connection between the Empire's presence on Ghorman, their mining on Jedda, and the engineer Galen Erso – and proves the naysayers on Yavin 4 wrong.

"I definitely believe it's going to change the experience because it's now so full of answers – almost many more than you even wanted when you watched Rogue One, like who Cassian's mother was, what was the first droid he had a strong connection with [that'll be B2EMO], how his bedroom was… You've seen enough of this man now that you will go, like, 'Holy shit, that’s what he meant?'"
