Diego Luna had an interview with Collider, in which he talked about the experiences that Cassian Andor will have in this second season. He emphasized that we will see many of the weaknesses that exist in his character. Some that he already overcame before arriving at the plot of Rogue One and others that he still retained in this production.
Luna commented about what the character will experience, ” think what happens also after prison and in the next episodes is that he really understands what he’s fighting against. He understands the need a revolution because he understands what oppression means basically and how little freedom he has and how unfair the world he lives in is. But there’s still so much for him to learn in terms of working as a team”.

He said, “I think in the first season we see him trying to survive and which is not necessarily being part of something”. Culminating his description with, “It’s reacting to it. But now, yeah, he has to learn a lot from Luthen and from others, from other experiences, other events in order to be that person we meet in Rogue One”.
As detailed by Luna, Cassian Andor will face the forces of the Empire and himself. He will have to learn to work as a team, something he did not like very much in the first season. He will also have to understand what true compromise is and that he must put the cause of the Rebellion before his interests.
Cassian Andor may have conflicts with important characters within the Rebellion in this second season. Also, reflective moments will lead him to meditate on why he fights. We will see quite an interesting evolution in this season of this character.

As for the plot, actor Diego Luna gave hints about what we will see in this second season. The actor said ” talks about being part of this fight since he was six years old in Rogue One.

And I don’t think people actually know exactly what I’m talking about. Like, I didn’t either.”
