Long gap (passport-weighted): foundational who/where listed first.

Standard

Cassian Andor has gone from small-time survivor to someone the Rebellion and the ISB both care about.

Aldhani heist funded rebels and put Cassian on Luthen's board - then prison on Narkina 5 radicalized him further.

Maarva is dead; her funeral on Ferrix becomes a public spark against the Empire.

Season 1 braided Ferrix community, Coruscant politics, Aldhani theft, and Narkina prison into one machine of Imperial pressure. Cassian escaped prison, returned for Maarva, and left Ferrix in open revolt.

Mon Mothma's secret funding is increasingly precarious. Luthen's moral ledger is already stained by choices he will not soften.

Aldhani heist; Narkina prison.

Maarva's funeral sparks Ferrix.

Luthen and Mon's secret war.

Season bridge: everything above is end of Season 1. S02E01 ("One Year Later") has not started.
