Season two ofAndorisofficially comprised of 12episodes but, really, its more like 14.
Diego Luna himselfhas repeatedly said thatwhen you watchRogue OneafterAndor, certain lines will mean new and different things.
Could we figure out what hes talking about?

We dont all have the luxury of deciding when and where we want to care about something.
Suddenly the Rebellion is real for you.
Some of us live it.
Ive been in this fight since I was six years old.
Youre not the only one who lost everything.
Some of us just decided to do something about it.
Weve already seen how some of that is true.
Cassian was adopted by his rebellious parents around the age of six, so that checks out.
But here he says he lost everything.
At the end ofAndorseason one, he still has a lot.
He has a friendship with Luthen Rael.
Surely he cant lose them all, right?
RIGHT, TONY!!?!?
Though, it certainly seems that will be the case from Cassians thoughts inRogue One.
The other line comes from right before Jyn and the crew leave Yavin 4 for Scarif.
Spies, saboteurs, assassins.
Everything I did, I did for the Rebellion.
A cause that was worth it.
Without that, were lost.
Everything weve done would have been for nothing.
I cant face myself if I gave up now.
None of us could.
Now, even in the movie, we see Cassian do terrible things for the Rebellion.
But the speech here speaks to a much longer, deeper pain.
Missions upon missions, deaths upon deaths, all of which weigh on the character.
Who could he kill that would make him feel like this?
Will he really feel its worth it?
Then, of course, theres the obvious stuff.
How Mon Mothma leaves the Senate to become the leader of the Rebel Alliance, for example.
His story could be in there.
Those two lines, though, really shook me to the core.
And thats the night you want to carve out a few more hours towatchRogue Oneright after.
