Headcanon: Lord I have so many but one I’m especially fond of is that teenaged Cassian Andor was to droid rights what Hermione Granger was to house elf rights – perhaps slightly more dour and less clumsy, but EXACTLY that level of teenage intensity. Every now and then some new Alliance recruit said something ignorant in front of him, and everyone in the general vicinity (who knew perfectly well what was coming) made furious throat-slicing motions and attempted to sink through the floor to escape the blast radius of the incoming lecture and/or death glare.
He never actually developed any chill about it; he just got very, very tired.
(Listen. The man is two parts trauma one part self-loathing and three parts PASSIONATE POLITICAL FEELINGS about justice and liberation, you cannot tell me he does not have thoughts about droid consciousness and personhood given he is literally bffs with one.)
Heartcanon: Jeron (of Cassian Jeron Andor) is not a middle name; it’s his primer apellido, ie his father’s last name, and Andor is his mother’s. He has chosen to go by the latter (Alliance forms and files aren’t always very good with Festian naming conventions) because he was so young when his father was killed that he barely remembers him, and although Cassian loved his father his mother – his mother is the one who taught him what rebellions are built on.
Gutcanon: Children as an abstract concept freak him out because he himself barely had a childhood and he fears – as per usual – that he’s not a great person and will probably fuck things up somehow. (In practice, if you actually faced him with IRL kids, he’d be very good with them.)
Junkcanon: The galaxy’s most hardcore praise kink, ladies and gentlemen.
Spleencanon: Every time someone in fandom tries to take the Separatist out of Cassian’s Separatist backstory my mental version of him gets approximately eleventeen times more salty about the fact that the Alliance’s actual name is “The Alliance to Restore the Republic.”
