If the first season of Disney+’s Andor offered the story of how Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) got involved in the Rebellion in the first place, the second and final season has the difficult task of closing out his origin story by telling how he goes from the paranoid, secretive character he was to the one audiences initially met in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story — and it’s a journey that the show’s creator and lead actor are excited to tell.

“What do you do if your currency is privacy and secrecy, and failure is death? How do you scale up?” asked Tony Gilroy when talking to Empire magazine. “How do you play with others? How do all the disparate pieces of the Rebellion come together in [Rebel base] Yavin?”

If they do their job right, Gilroy and Cassian himself, Diego Luna, promise, then fans won’t be able to look at Rogue One the same way ever again.

“You’re gonna hear some lines [on a rewatch] and go [gasps gutturally],” Luna teased. “Before, you just passed over them. Not anymore.”

To ensure everything on the show lands properly, who’s up for a Rogue One: A Star Wars Story rewatch before Andor returns to screens and streams April 23?
