This likely means Cassian will be going undercover as a test pilot inAndorseason 2, presumably to steal the TIE Avenger, given Sienar manufactures TIEs.
The TIE Avenger Risked Saving The Empire
The TIE Avenger Is Much More Difficult To Destroy
The on-screen canon debut of the TIE Avenger inAndorseason 2 is particularly exciting because this TIE was such a significant threat to the Rebellion. The Avenger, similar in design to Darth Vader’s own fighter, is equipped with both shields and hyperdrive, making it particularly formidable. In fact,this TIE fighter very nearly cost the Rebellion its victorybecause it was so difficult to destroy.
Andor Season 2’s New TIE Avenger Explained: The Starfighter That Would’ve Saved The Empire
Disney has released brand-new footage from Andor season 2, revealing that the incredible TIE Avenger starfighter will finally appear in canon.
This operation will also have several interesting connections to otherStar Warsprojects. For one, Sienar, which Cassian will evidently be joining, played a key role inStar Wars Rebels. In fact, the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratory, which Cassian may very well be infiltrating in particular, had one location on Lothal.
The Advanced Projects Laboratory was also known for making Darth Maul’s iconic Sith Interceptor. If the theories spinning out of this action figure prove true, Cassian will therefore be joining a significant part ofStar Wars’history. Of course, there’s also the simple fact that the mission itself will be a thrill to watch.

We Are About To Learn So Much More About The Empire’s TIEs
TIE fighters have been a staple inStar Warsmovies and TV showsdating all the way back to the original trilogy, butwe are about to learn so much more about these iconic starfighters. With Cassian Andor seemingly stepping into the role of a test pilot, audiences are likely going to get a peek behind the curtain at what precisely goes into making these TIE fighters. It will also be thrilling to see Cassian go undercover and steal the TIE Avenger.
Even knowing he makes it out of this event alive, given he survives intoRogue One: A Star Wars Story, his efforts undercover are sure to be heart-racing and high-stakes. This is also just one of many exciting storylines primed to be explored inAndorseason 2.Star Warsmay not have meant to reveal thisAndorseason 2 spoiler, but we are thrilled to find out more about it nevertheless.
