I’ve seen some people complain that the show shouldn’t even be called Andor and should be something more broad because he gets outshined in his own show. I don’t think that’s fair at all. First because the other characters SHOULD be more “interesting” than Cassian. We already know exactly where his story ends. We know what he becomes. So at this point of the journey it’s more compelling for him to be flawed - not yet the leader that he will become, and not a true “hero” because we don’t see that turn fully until the third act of Rogue One when he joins Jen on the mission to Scariff.

So all of that means that this show is an extended hero’s journey for Andor. There are other characters who are more compelling at times, but their stories will likely end before Rogue One. But the show is narratively built around Andor, with him also often acting as the audience’s viewpoint within the story.

The first arc on Ferrix introduces him as a very flawed character, who owes money to his friends, isn’t honest, and is not at all motivated to be a leader or hero. He’s trying to run from the authorities due to his killing of those two corpos.

The second arc sees him called to join the cause, but as a mercenary for hire. During that arc he’s exposed to the true reasons he should join the cause through Nemik. But he ends up running away at the end of that arc off to Space Miami.

That running away feels like Jonah in the Bible running away from God’s call. For Cassian instead of ending up in the belly of a whale, he ends up in an imperial prison due to running away, and that’s the third arc. He gets out of the whale by inspiring a prison rebellion which was clearly inspiration for him to join THE rebellion.

Then in this finale arc it’s about EVERYONE wanting to take Andor down - everyone except that community on Ferrix who are still looking out for him. But now he’s the one helping them, leading them to escape and then being willing to lay down his life to accept the calling to the Rebellion.

This is clearly Andor’s show.
