Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken to Collider about the show’s romance between Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen, and what that means for the chemistry between Cassian and Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
“I knew very well what had happened with Jyn and Cassian in Rogue One and what had happened in the elevator,” Gilroy noted, referring to the fact that he rewrote parts of the film. “I knew that scene very, very well. I probably went back and looked at that. I was pleased to see that my memory of it was of all the other takes and other things, and I was really pleased to see how we’d edited that, that it was really ambiguous about what it was, and then I didn’t care anymore. I was like, ‘Okay. It makes sense.’” He continued on to explain how he approached Bix and Cassian’s on-again-off-again relationship, saying:
“I mean, they’re both pretty sexually liberated in their way. I think that first kiss they had, I think the first person they ever slept with is each other. Who knows how old they were on Ferrix? Probably very, very young. And over time, they were together and not together. Timm starts off the show, and who’s in charge of that relationship, right? Cassian certainly has a rich history in just the little bit we see, and has alluded to, and his mother calls him out on all his girlfriends, and there’s Windi on Niamos. I think they have a very healthy idea of what the different calibrations of love are.”
