According to reports by comicbook, it is good news for the fans as the Rebels from the animated Star Wars: Rebels series could potentially make an appearance in the Disney+ Hotstar show Andor, season 2. This is primarily because The Rebels and Andor season 2 share the same timeline and are centered around the same story.
Andor which is a prequel to the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star War Story follows Rebel agent Cassian Andor, who in Rogue One is a hardened operative. The trailer of the upcoming season gives us a glimpse of Yavin-4, the rebel base during the battle of Yavin. Therefore, it is more likely that season 2 will feature the Rebels. Read on to know more.
Andor and Star War: Rebels share the same timeline and conflict, this is how
Season 1 of Andor was about 5 years prior to the events shown in Rogue One. This is when Cassian Andor is a self-serving survivor and a reluctant rebel. He shares no loyalty to the rebel. However, season 2 covers the four years leading to the battle of Yavin, the event in Rogue One. Season 2 is going to explore Cassian as a fully committed rebel alliance shaping into the operative we see in Rogue One, who sacrifices his life for the mission. The show will also portray him going on some dangerous mission with Luthen and Mon Mothma.
Star Wars: Rebels and Andor could introduce some familiar faces because they share the same timeline and revolve around the same central conflict. According to some reports, it is also speculated that the Ghost Crew was also active during this timeline and hence stands a chance to appear in season 2. Along with this, Mon Mothma officially forms a Rebel Alliance during the same time, therefore season 2 might also depict the pivotal moment.
The trailer of Andor features a glimpse of the Rebel base
The trailer of the show comes with a glimpse of Yavin-4, the rebel base with the ships gathered. This is the place where the Battle of Yavin occurred and was won by the Rebel Alliance. The battle was the first one they won therefore it definitely is suggestively placed in the trailer itself.
There is also some reference that Hera is an established leader by the time season 2 is taking place. Star Wars Rebels is set around 1 year before A New Hope, therefore, Hera could be seen as stationed at Yavin 4 as a General. In Rogue One, her presence was established with the appearance of her chopper at the base and her name being called on the intercom. This strongly suggests that she might appear to be on the rebel base that appeared in the trailer. Cassian and Hera might cross paths, as both are integral to the growing Rebellion.
