The Andor creator, Tony Gilroy, deepens the tragedy of Rogue One with one heartbreaking twist surrounding Bix in the series finale.

It’s no secret now that Rogue One was one of the first cases of Disney and Lucasfilm executives butting heads with their new wave of directors. Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Jurassic World Rebirth) had the final cut of Rogue One ultimately taken from him and handed to none other than Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy,

I wanted to have something hopeful at the end of this. We’re punishing a lot of people in this show,” Gilroy said.

The final arc of “Andor” Season 2 has our disparate rebels putting the pieces together about the Empire’s plans to build the Death Star. Luthen (Stellan Skarsgård) gave his life so Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau) could take the information he learned about the space station’s existence to Yavin IV.

Why isn’t Bix in Rogue One? Adria Arjona reveals Tony Gilroy’s heartbreaking warning about Andor Season 2, Episode 9’s big twist.

"My son is a big Star Wars fan and often busts my balls about how little I know," Gilroy quips. Andor gives an origin story to one of the most memorable lines of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This wasn't originally in the script because Tony Gilroy thought the line had originated somewhere else in canon.
