Two Major Rogue One Characters Make Their Star Wars Comeback
Undoubtedly,the biggest talking point of the footage shown forAndorseason 2 is the return of Orson Krennic and K-2SO. Many were hoping the latter would appear by the time ofAndorseason 1’s ending, yet this was not the case. While K2 droids were teased as enforcers of the Empire, it became clear that fans would need to wait until season 2 to see the compelling relationship between Andor and K2 return. In the footage shown at D23, K-2SO is back in all his glory, offering more context to the origin of his and Cassian’s friendship beforeRogue One.

Another returning character comes as more of a surprise, Ben Mendelsohn’s Orson Krennic. Krennic was the primary villain ofRogue Oneas the director of the Death Star’s construction. WithAndorseason 2 taking the timeline of the show up to the events ofRogue One, it makes sense for Krennic to appear as the symbol of the Empire’s threat. Not only that, but Mendelsohn is a fantastic actor, and watching how his performance feeds into his character’s writing inAndorseason 2 will be a joy to behold.
