There is little doubt that fans are already hyped up for all the upcoming Star Wars shows that will be coming to Disney+ in the next few years. After the success of The Mandalorian, people have high hopes when it comes to the new shows that are being produced by Disney and Lucasfilm.
For starters, the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel featuring Diego Luna's Cassian Andor is already expected to feature some characters who already appeared in the 2016 flick. But will the series also bring back someone who was initially introduced in a prequel trilogy movie?
The cast of the Cassian Andor series is not exactly a huge mystery. After all, it was already confirmed that Diego Luna will reprise his role as the titular Rebel captain and Alan Tudyk will return for the motion-capture and voice of the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO.
Likewise, it was revealed that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actress Genevieve O'Reilly will be brought back as Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma. The most recent addition to the Star Wars show has been Pacific Rim: Uprising star Adria Arjona, who has reportedly been cast in a lead role opposite Luna, possibly as Cassian's sister.
The idea of introducing Cassian Andor's sister is a welcome one considering that it would mean fans will learn more about the character's origin story and how he ended up becoming a part of the Rebellion. In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Cassian had told Jyn Erso that he has been a Rebel since he was six years old so the series could reveal what happened to him as a child.
But, is it possible that Adria Arjona may have been cast as someone who helps young Cassian find his way? A new theory suggests that the Good Omens actress might portray someone who was very close to Padme Amidala.
According to the theory, there is a possibility that Adria Arjona was cast as Sabe, Padme Amidala's handmaiden from the Star Wars prequel films. In the movies, the character was played by Keira Knightley, who had been chosen because of her resemblance to Padme actress Natalie Portman.
Many fans have noted that Arjona also has a striking resemblance to the two actresses, leading to speculations that she will play the handmaiden who acted as Padme's decoy in the past. However, it is important to point out that Arjona's role has not yet been specified so it's best to take this with a grain of salt.
The Cassian Andor series has not yet been given an official release date. However, the Star Wars show is already expected to premiere on Disney+ by 2022.
