Outside of two returning characters from the movie, Luna insisted the storytelling will alter how audiences see the 2016 anthology movie going forward:
“I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season 2, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there.

Andor Season 2: Trailer, Story, Updates, & Everything We Know
Andor season 1 ended with an explosive finale, leading many to wonder what season 2 has in store for the characters of Star Wars’ most exciting show.
Rogue One Is About To Become Even Better
It’s Already One of Star Wars' Best Movies
Staggeringly,Rogue Oneis set to be improved even further byAndorseason 2. Already.Rogue Oneis counted among thebest-rankedStar Warsmovies. The film has a distinct tone compared to the rest of theStar Warsfranchise, acting more as a boots-on-the-ground war movie than a fantasy epic exploring the Force, the Jedi, and the Sith. This is largely due to its grounded characters, of which Cassian Andor is one. InAndorseason 2, the relationship between Cassian and his trusty droid friend, K-2SO, will be developed.
If Luna’s words are to be taken as gospel,Andorseason 2 sill flesh out the character of K-2SO in a way that will improveRogue One. K2 is already a fan-favorite and his sacrifice inRogue Oneis one of the film’s more emotionally impactful moments. IfAndorseason 2 improves K2’s characterization,Rogue Onewill be made all the more upsetting and, thus, affecting as a whole. IfAndorseason 2 upholds season 1’s phenomenal writing standard, it is easy to guess how it will improveRogue One.
