'Andor': Who is Bix Caleen? Adria Arjona's character in upcoming 'Star Wars' series is a 'risk-taker'
'Andor'will be introducing a slew of new characters and Adria Arjona's Bix Caleen will be one of the key players in the upcoming Disney+ show. The upcoming series serves as a prequel to 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' which in turn serves as a prequel to 'A New Hope'.
As far as Caleen goes, Arjona's character is pretty much created for the Diego Luna-starrer. Fandom describes her as a person who had issues with the Empire and from what Arjona reveals about her character, there are a lot of layers to Caleen. Talking about her relationship with Cassian, Arjona, in an exclusive with Collider, said her character was a risk-taker.

"Bix is someone that isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty," Arjona explained. "She's a risk-taker. She is bold and fearless, and she is a manager at a salvage yard. So has a pretty steady life and pretty, she has everything under control, and then here comes Cassian, and then it's of always happens. Their dynamic is one that I love deeply. So it was so fun to sort of dig in and play around with it, they are childhood friends. And you can sense that they have a history and their dynamic is complicated. You can almost tell that their trust has been built and broken and built and broken over the course of many, many years. Yet, she's incredibly caring and incredibly protective over him. Sometimes even at her own detriment."
While Andor's fate is known in 'Rogue One', there's no telling how it will all end for Caleen. The 2016 movie ends badly for the key protagonists, including Andor who perished in Scarif in the mission to acquire the Death Star plans for the rebellion. Will Bix Caleen make it past Season 1? Looks unlikely considering how grim and somber the trailer is, action apart.
'Andor' premieres September 21 on Disney+ with three episodes followed by one episode every week.
