- Andor Season 2 Episode 6 includes a very cathartic moment for Bix Caleen
- Adria Arjona has explained why he is so significant for his Star Wars character
- Bix has fought to overcome the trauma he suffered in the first season of the program
Andor Actor Adria Arjona has opened the cathartic “justice” that her character Bix Caleen enjoys in the sixth episode this season.
Before Andor The launch of Season 2, sat with Arjona to discuss Bix’s trip in the last installment of the Star Wars television program.
As part of our chat, I could not miss the opportunity to achieve Arjona’s thoughts about the emotional launch that Bix feels that the events that occur in season 2 Episode 6, titled ‘What a Festive Night’, too.
Complete spoilers follow immediately to Andor Episode 6 of season 2 and the last episodes of its predecessor.
It is a euphemism to say that Bix has been put through the emotional drainer in one of the best Disney+shows.
Your problems may have begun in Andor The first tickets of season 1, which saw Bix contact the incipient founder of Rebel Alliance, Luthen Rael, to organize a meeting between him and Cassian Andor. However, the risk it took was nothing compared to the traumatizing events to which that season would be submitted later.
In fact, when the galactic empire invaded Ferrix to locate Cassian, Bix was caught in the proverbial cross fire. As one of Cassian’s closest allies (she was her ex -girlfriend, after all), Bix was taken prisoner and psychologically tortured by the insensitive Doctor Gorsst to force her to tell the empire where Cassian is.
In a nutshell, Cassian rescues Bix at the end of season 1 of the Disney+ series and, with the help of Brasso and Wilmon, takes Bix to a relative safe refuge that, as we learn in the first episode of this season, is an agricultural planet on the outer edge called Mina-Rau.
However, while physically escaped, Bix is still mentally and emotionally trapped by the horrible events he experienced.
The first three episodes of one of the new 2025 Star Wars shows, whose events take place 12 months after the end of last season, are not only filled with more moments of trauma, which include almost be sexually assaulted by an imperial officer in episode 3, but also reveals that it is plagued by Dr. Gorst’s nightmares.
In chapters four to six, which occur a year after the first act of season 2, Box has become addicted to the illegal substance in the universe called Death Stick, which takes to help her sleep.
It is this two -year cycle of endless mental and emotional anguish that makes the final sequence represent in ‘What Festive Night’ even more cathartic for Bix. In fact, when Cassian is asked to carry out a new and mysterious mission for Luthen, Bix wants to accompany him.
It is a good job that she does. Before Episode 6 ends, we learned that Cassian and Bix have been sent to get rid of Dr. Gors, whose secret laboratory is located in Coruscant, the same planet that the couple has been hidden for months.
Knowing how important this mission is for her, Cassian lets Bix take the lead. In a nutshell, use the same psychological torture team in the evil scientist before Cassian destroys Gorses’ headquarters so that it seems that he exploded in an experiment that went wrong.
I will not spoil what is reserved for Bix in the next six episodes of this season, as I noticed in me Andor Review of season 2, I have seen the 12 chapters. However, episode 6 is a decisive moment for Bix in its efforts to purify the pain and misery inflicted to it, and Arjona agreed with that feeling.
“[Showrunner] Tony [Gilroy] He has a really beautiful way to infuse confidence in you without giving you a compliment! “Arjona joked to start.” But, really, I wanted to do justice to how Bix’s arch wrote this season and for what happened at the end of the first season.
“After the end of last season, he had many questions for Tony because he was very curious to see how he was going to deal with him. How would I deal with him? Would he push him under the carpet or would he try to face it in front?
I was very curious to see how I was going to face that
Adria Arjona
“I identify a lot with Bix as a character, who is someone who has to act hard and be strong, and be part of something great,” Arjona continued. “But, thanks to what happened in the first season, she is physically and mentally unable to play a role in the rebellion, which frustrates her.
“That great moment [in episode six] It allows you to redeem yourself and, as you will see very soon, it is found again for the rest of the season. She has returned to her account and finally you see the brightness in her eye, which she had in the first season, again. It’s like ‘you’ve gone through a lot, but now you’ve returned to who you were’. It was really special to see her overcome that and take possession of her future once again. “
Andor Season 2 Episodes 1 to 6 are already available. Three more episodes will arrive on May 6/7, and the final trio will be launched on May 13/14.
