Cassian tells Luthen that he knew about his intentions to kill him. Cassian says to kill him or take him in, to which Luthen smiles. Knowing the plot ofRogue One, Cassian is on his way to becoming a Rebellion hero.

Cassian will eventually become the Rebellion hero who sacrifices himself inRogue One.Andorseason 2 is still four years away from that defining moment in Cassian’s life. While speaking at D23, Luna explained how season 2 raises the stakes for Cassian as the Empire grows stronger and continues construction on the Death Star.
“This second part of our story will follow Cassian over the period of four years as he grows into the rebel hero we see fulfill his destiny with the ultimate sacrifice inRogue One,” Luna said at D23 (viaEW). “Every slice of time charts Cassian’s evolution into our revolution, but in this season, the stakes are greater, the enemy is more organized, and the clock is ticking. As the imperial threat grows and the lines have become more dangerous, Cassian is fueled by a sense of high purpose: to fight for freedom and a better tomorrow.”
