We all knew where Cassian Andor’s story was going to end — with a heartbreaking sacrifice on Scarif. But what remained a mystery until just recently was how Andor was going to end. Much like fans thought, we saw Cassian apprehensively take off and head off to what would be his debut in Rogue One, but that wasn’t the last scene in the episode.
Andor’s final coda tied off one last loose end — with Bix, his long-time love, who left Yavin so she wouldn’t hold Andor back. “I can't be the reason you leave here. If you ever gave this up for me, I'd... I'd never forgive myself,” she said in a letter to Cassian. “We have to win. We have to beat them.” She promised they’ll be together after everything was over, but that wasn’t meant to be. Instead, she’s left with an ending that seems hopeful at first glance, but undercuts her character arc and perpetuates a Hollywood trope in the worst possible way.
