Andor’s sister, Kerri, was taken by the Empire when they were children.
Cassian Andor, a character from the “Star Wars” universe, has a backstory that includes a tragic event involving his sister, Kerri. In the series “Andor,” which explores Cassian’s life before the events of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” it is revealed that Cassian was born on the planet Kenari. His homeworld was disrupted by the arrival of the Empire, which sought to exploit its resources.
During a chaotic confrontation between the local population and the Imperial forces, Cassian and Kerri were separated from their parents. In the midst of the turmoil, an Imperial ship took off, and Kerri was inadvertently taken aboard. Cassian, who was only a child at the time, was left behind and could only watch as the ship carrying his sister flew away, leaving him with no knowledge of her fate.
This loss had a profound impact on Cassian, shaping his views on the Empire and sowing the seeds of his eventual rebellion against it. The disappearance of his sister is a driving force behind his deep-seated resentment towards the Empire and his commitment to the Rebel cause. The series delves into the psychological and emotional effects of this event on Cassian, illustrating how personal tragedies fuel the larger galactic conflict.
