Andor Writer Confirms the Real Reason Why Bix Left Cassian

Wait 5 sec.

Dan Gilroy, brother of Disney+'s Andor creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy, wrote several episodes of the series. He was responsible for one of the show's most impactful sets of episodes, centering around the Ghorman Massacre. The story arc closed out with Bix Caleen, leaving her love, Cassian Andor, for the benefit of the Rebel Alliance. Gilroy shed light on Bix's true motivations for her departure, a reason that was more important than her being pregnant with Cassian's child.In Andor Season 2, Episode 9, Cassian wakes up with Bix nowhere to be found. He spies a datapad on the kitchen table and plays its message, left by Bix while Cassian was asleep. As Dan Gilroy explained to The Playlist Podcast, the fact that Bix was pregnant didn't factor into her decision to walk away from Cassian, calling it "secondary" to her actual goal:"I never saw the pregnancy as the prime motive. That was secondary. I never even thought of it. I thought of it as sacrifice, and all the sacrifices in the show, she's certainly not dying, but her sacrifice is fairly high. And the thing about all these characters who sacrifice? In a way, they're martyrs, and in a way, the equivalent you could find is in religion. Believing something is worth dying for is a belief in the equivalent of a religion, because you have to believe there's something greater than yourself." Read full article on The Direct.
