Adria Arjona is back as the fearless and resilient Bix Caleen in the highly anticipated Andor Season 2, streaming new episodes every Tuesday on Disney+. In her latest interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Arjona opened up about Bix’s journey, her own experiences on set, and the deeper layers of storytelling that the Star Wars universe has brought to her career.
When discussing the role of Bix, Arjona expressed her appreciation for how Tony Gilroy, the series’ creator, handles storytelling. “Tony believes that information is power as opposed to withholding information,” she shared. Gilroy had mapped out Bix’s journey right from the beginning, giving Arjona the confidence and clarity needed to dive deeply into the character’s struggles and triumphs.
Embracing the Star Wars Legacy
Joining the Star Wars universe has been a transformative experience for Arjona. “It’s been my greatest university,” she said, reflecting on the challenges and growth she’s experienced while portraying Bix. Being part of such a monumental franchise has also brought about unique fan interactions, with many asking her about her favorite Star Wars character. Arjona’s answer? Chewbacca. “People kind of want me to say Yoda or Princess Leia,” she laughed, “but I want to party with Chewie.”
In a testament to her commitment, Arjona has even taken on the responsibility of dubbing her own character in Spanish, making Andor more accessible to her family and fans across Latin America. Despite spending eight hours perfecting her lines in Spanish, she joked that her family group chat has been oddly quiet about the show. “Maybe they’re not watching,” she teased, but she remains proud of the effort.
Season 2 and Beyond
As Andor Season 2 unfolds, fans can expect to see Bix Caleen facing new challenges and deeper character exploration. Arjona hinted that her journey is far from over, and the stakes have never been higher. With Andor bridging the gap to Rogue One, the emotional weight of every choice Bix makes reverberates throughout the galaxy.
Arjona’s passion for her craft, coupled with her hustle mentality—like calling studios pretending to be her own manager early in her career—has brought her to this pivotal role. Now, with the series gaining even more momentum, Arjona is excited for fans to witness the evolution of Bix Caleen as she navigates the complexities of war, loyalty, and survival.
