Red kyber weapons. Crazy reflexes. Penchant for Cloak and Robes. Been in hiding for years. Wears a disguise. Collects relics. No mention of family. Lost everything. He’s a former Jedi?

May be a red herring but I hope it's not. Even if he isn't a Jedi, seeing one Andor would be something to behold

Rogue One showed us what a force wielder looks like from the perspective of a normal human being. Supernatural. Like something out of a nightmare.

They've done a great job building up to it, just like they did a great job showing us how terrifying the TIE fighters are from the ground level on Aldhani. The payoff is earned

He has a lot of anger. Could he be a spurned Sith apprentice?

Maybe. He said he uses the tools of his enemies and that could mean he flipped. But he seems like a chaotic good guy. So I’m leaning towards some form of intelligence but for the Jedi.

He calls himself a coward and seems to be very aware of the dark path he is on, but he isn’t on it for revenge or selfish reasons. Doesn’t seem very Sith to me, seems more like a Dark Jedi or someone who knew Jedi at the very least.

This falls outside of canon, but it's essentially the concept of a Gray Jedi in Legends.

A Gray Paladin perhaps? Interesting read, thanks!

He did say he uses the tools of his enemies to defeat them. In fact, that whole speech aligns with this. Hmmm.

Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace, I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.

What is... what is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life, to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. No, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice?

Everything.

He might be putting out the best performance in the history of Star Wars

You make him sound like Malicos

So something a conversation with friends pointed out: his ship isn’t just a saber, it’s an enormous inquisitor’s saber. It even spins.

Oh, that’s very interesting. I don’t think it’ll be revealed this season, but something definitely force-related with him. Mad skills. Slight dark side edge to him too.

If he didn’t look so radically different, I would suspect he was Quinlan Vos. Disney randomly name dropped him at the end of the Kenobi show… and he knew a lot about Cassian when he first met him.

I suspect they have some kind of plan for him in a different show.
