Expanded material outside of Rogue One has revealed that Cassian was from a family of Separatists that opposed the Republic during the Clone Wars. Could Arjona be playing a battle hardened member of the Andor family? Perhaps she is just a close confidant of Cassian’s during his time as a Fulcrum agent? Or maybe she is an Imperial officer that Cassian entangles with time and time again. The possibilities are endless!
