This story contains spoilers for Andor’s second season, up to the sixth episode.
Andor has certainly put Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) through it. She’s arguably the person who set the Star Wars series’ events into motion by linking her love interest, Cassian (Diego Luna), with the Rebellion’s grand architect, Luthen (Stellan Skarsgård). Since then, she has been tortured by Empire-sanctioned interrogator Dr. Gorst (Joshua James); more recently, she narrowly staved off an attempted sexual assault by an Imperial lieutenant. In season two’s episodes four through six, which premiered Tuesday on Disney+, she moves into a hideout apartment with Cassian on the planet of Coruscant—finally able to experience a period of sustained romance with her partner, if also still struggling to overcome her trauma. She can’t sleep. She’s battling addiction. She wants to help out with the Rebellion, but is fighting to make it another day.
