Rael offers Andor another thousand credits just to explain how he managed to steal such valuables from a heavily secure imperial base. Cassian explains that it’s easy, you just have to “act like you belong.” He explains that the empire has gotten so “fat and satisfied” that they can’t even imagine someone like him would “get in their house.“Andoris set to be the next bigStar Warsoriginal series from Disney Plus.

Based on this brief clip it looks like Cassian is pretty far from where he was inRogue One.In the film, he’s a well-established member of the rebel alliance, having worked as a rebel intelligence officer for some time. However, in this clip he appears to be a more petty thief, a Robin Hood type stealing from the empire. Little is known about Skarsgard’s character, but based on this clip andthe previousAndortrailershe appears to be a wealthy man of important stature in theStar Warsgalaxy who is working to undermine the Emprire. He may serve as a kind of mentor and/or handler for Cassian as he’s recruited into the rebellion.
