andor is the cover story cassian gives out to recruits who ask him about his history he's actually still from fest guys he has been in the fight since 6 years old he bite a stormtrooper real hard

Unpopular opinion but I think Jyn wouldn’t want to be involved in this situation at all unless Bix came back after at least like 3 or 4 years, giving her time to be in a long relationship with Cassian and all. If she just like appeared in Yavin on the next month or something Jyn would be out of this mess lmfao good luck to Cassian I guess

LMAO i dont think jyn would be out because like cassian offered her a home and stuck around when things got bad like no one else ever had, BUT i also don't think they'd be together a month in under ANY circumstances. it would probably give jyn real pause though, like ??? the fuck you mean you lost everything??? cassian would be GOING THROUGH IT LOL because he's totally unhinged for this woman but like he does have a real history with bix, even if its obviously over, and that i am sure would be a shit place to be with a fucking SURPRISE BABY in the middle of a newly HOT WAR 😭😭 i dont think bix would actually show up like that bc that would defeat the entire purpose of that ridiculous choice so

i do think if a month after scarif bix showed up with a fucking baby and the expectation that they'd get to play family and pickup where they left off, jyn would probably attempt to kill whatever blossoming feelings that were developing. it wouldn't be pretty and i don't think in that circumstance jyn would everrrr be friends with bix. its not about pitting women against each other, its about the very real pain that would cause her but also that it would definitely cause cassian.

like i think it is a laudable goal to avoid slipping into misogynistic missus and the ex toxicity and cattiness but i think sometimes we don't take into account that it isn't always about jealousy or internalized misogyny that hinders friendship between two women who have had relationships with the same man/partner at different times in his/their life.

sometimes its just the circumstances of the prior relationship. it would be pretty hard for me to like a woman who did what bix did to a partner of mine. full stop, i would find it incredibly selfish and cruel. and i dont even HAVE the trauma that jyn does surrounded abandonment and absent/dead parents.

like full stop i think it is despicable to leave a partner like bix did. its why its so off-putting to me that its framed as a grand romantic gesture, or a great sacrifice when in reality it feels like she was leaving her partner right when he needed her most. when things got bad. which is precisely why i think jyn WOULDN'T leave him to deal with bix and the baby himself. even as friends with developing feelings, i think she'd still want to hold onto that friendship.

so yeah i also don't see cassian handling it very well. this is why in the fix it thing im working on, i have completely erased the entire scene and the baby as well because LOL no way bix caleen is bringing a baby into a war as an undocumented woman, nor is she gonna have that kid on the planet where she was sexually assaulted and then her friend was murdered. aint no way in hell. unless she is a total 🤡

i agree though it would be way easier for them all if bix reached out after the war. they probably both would have completely moved on, which would mean far less dogshit to sift through. distance makes things easier so i can see that. but i could see co-parenting being a lot easier without all the layers of mess that would be there a month in.

what i kinda cant help wondering is what vel would be doing? you know vel would adore jyn. she is cassian's friend first and foremost imo even though we BARELY FUCKING SEE IT LOL and i cannot imagine she would be opposed to the way that jyn has lit that fire under cassian's ass that vel always wanted to see from the decoy andor!cassian(which! loool omg dont even get me STARTED ON HIS LACK OF COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE)

idk this hetero mess is too much 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Thank you BuzzFeed for shattering my confidence and for making me feel really bad about my Star Wars knowledge. I really appreciate it, I had so much fun.

Describe the Rogue One squad.

[thewarsofstar]

oh but the parallels of the council doubting cassian’s information on the construction of the Death Star due to his connection to luthen and the council doubting jyn’s information on the weak spot of the Death Star due to her connection to saw and galen

and how that adds to cassian not hesitating to put together a team to follow jyn to get the Death Star plans because he knows exactly how she feels to be doubted and for her information to be invalidated

[thewarsofstar]

Thinking a lot about the ending of Andor and my own little head canons.

Honestly, the more I sit with it the more I think that both things can be true in that Cassian loved Bix but also is at peace with how they left things. Of course he misses her. Of course he thinks about her. Of course he wonders what their life could have been. And yet, once she’s gone, he just seems so much lighter.

There’s no question that they loved each other deeply and that he was devastated when she left. How she left. But ultimately so much of their relationship was him “saving” her or trying to protect her from the empire, from her trauma, from herself. The poor man was exhausted and was desperately clinging to the idea of a life with her that he couldn’t see the life they actually had. How isolated they were together, even on Yavin 4. While I take some issue with the way Bix left him, the “I’ll wait for you” speech, and the pregnancy… I’m grateful that she took that step back. Sometimes the most profound act of love towards another person is to let them go. She loved Cassian but I think she was also honest with herself about what their relationship had become. That ultimately they were not in a space to be healthy together.

When we see Cassian about two years or so after she’s gone, he’s more relaxed than we’ve seen him in the entirety of when they were together. He has built a little life for himself, a community, a home on Yavin 4. Maybe isn’t exactly what he envisioned, but it’s the life he needs. Sure, he’s lonely but he also just seems to be at peace. When Vel tells him to reach out to Bix, he shrugs. He says maybe but it feels like he’s saying no. Why? Because he’s moved on! He’s finally feeling like he can let her go, that their story is over. I’m sure he still has love for her but it’s shifted into something else and he’s found peace with her on his own way.

Then Jyn comes along.

She’s so different from Bix and yet the love she feels and the heart she brings to the rebellion reawakens something in Cassian. Hope was fading away, then there she was, bringing it home. It knocks the wind out of him and you can see it in every look he gives her. He’s impressed and terrified and transfixed. She’s a walking hurricane and yet she’s his mirror. She’s the echo in his shadow. Jyn’s the partner he needs to make that last push against the rebellion. As Luthen said, they burn for a sunrise they’ll never see and it’s a beautiful thing that they can hold each other when the end does come.

In that final scene, we learn Bix’s fate and see that she also found a home and community as well. She gets to take solace in knowing that in making the choice for her and Cassian, she saved him in a way. She saved herself. She finally found her peace. I like to think she met someone and that they reignite something she felt was long gone or that she’d never have after Cassian. I hope she was able to move on too and that they help her raise her baby and that she feels seen and cared for and loved. Of course she’ll tell her child about their father and the legacy he left behind with the rebellion. But at the same time, I have no doubt that that child will grow up in a better world because Bix left.

Who knows, maybe if the Rogue One team had lived, maybe Cassian and Bix would have reconnected? Maybe. Maybe not. But I like to think that if they had, it would be as friends. Sure, their family wouldn’t be the most conventional and there would undoubtedly be some awkwardness in the beginning, but they’d find their way. They’d co-parent and I do honestly believe that Jyn and Bix would have a lot of respect for one another and would be great friends. Jyn would love that child like her own and would be a bad ass step mom.

All this to say, at its core, Rogue One and Andor (pretty much all of Star Wars for that matter) is all about hope. Hope through rebellion. Hope through friendship. Hope through love in all forms.

Parka shenanigans ☆

[thewarsofstar]

The ending didn’t really upset as much as I thought it would but it kinda reframes the tragedy of Cassian that any semblance of choice is taken away until someone choose Cassian and that’s Jyn

[thewarsofstar]

Alright Andor and Rebelcaptain fans listen up! I haven’t watched the finale yet but I do know about one particular detail about Bix’s character and how her and Cassian’s relationship ended up. So here’s the deal:

When it comes to shipping canon is whatever the fuck you want it to be! This is our sandbox and our toys to play with! What we are NOT going to do is be assholes to other shippers and fans of other characters! Just let them play in their sandbox and we’ll play in ours ok.

If you don’t want to see a certain ship or blog, there is a very convenient block tag and block user option to be used at your discretion. It’s there for a reason! Use it!

That is all.

[thewarsofstar]

"I'm not used to people sticking around when things go bad", she said, by way of explanation. She didn't know if Cassian really understood, but he said "Welcome home", and she knew she was.

[thewarsofstar]

Everything that happened in Rogue One HAPPENED. Nothing that occurs in Andor effects what happened in that film, what was literally on our screens.

I hope some of you realize that.

Cassian's relationship with Bix should not effect your ability to ship Rebelcaptain at all, not from anything they've shown us thus far and nothing they even could show us in the final 3 episodes. (Yes, even if Bix is pregnant as I've seen a few people speculate. I don't have an opinion on that one way or another but it's irrelevent.)

Andor is a Prequel, not a sequel, it can't negate what we already have as canon. It can recontextualize characters (and you can choose to accept or reject that tbh) and it can give us additional information and insight, but at the end of the day Rogue One came out over 8 years ago and was, what many of us interpreted to be, a love story. Not just between Jyn and Cassian but the entire crew, it's a beautiful film and nothing that Andor does should take away your enjoyment of that.

Ship and let ship people, it's just Star Wars :)
