Cassian andor Lived a Lot of Lives Before He Gave It All On The Beaches of Scarif in Rogue oneAnd part of living there lives, sometimes by choice, sometimes by Necessity, was that Cassian andor Had to Not Not Not Not Not Not Not bee Cassian andorThe man loved a secret identity, and with it a new name to inhabit, but some was cleared better than others.
10) Fulcrum
Not even a real name as it’s an alliance codename, so by default it has to be last. IT IS Fun howyver, especially after his encounter with the force healer in Andor Season two, to imagine cassian inheriting this title from ahasoka tanoAn actual-honest-to-god-backflipping-sand-lightsaber-wielding jedi, and just having it completely break his mind.
9) Aach
This is one of Several Operational Aliases Given to Cassian in the Rogue One Ultimate Visual GuideSo there’s something oddly charming about the idea that cassian having a Rolodex of other names he’s had to come up with for missions has been there. Come on Thought, Cassian, this one just just sounds like you stubbed your toe before you could use the name you actually Wanted to use, and rolled with it.
8) Willix
Another from the Visual guideWillix was an Identity Cassian used on Darknell While Masqurading as a Senatorial Contact. Points for Sounding better than “aach,” at least.
7) Joreth Sward
The last of cassian’s Visual guide Aliasses, and He Finally Decided to Give Himself a Full Name! Aside from being a great name, sward was an alias Cassian Had While Infiltrating The Inner Circle of an imperial admiral, greenf -a name that its item Star wars Roleplaying game, a frequent source of Easter Egg References in AndorAgain, Nice to Know that that that that is a connection that’S always been part of this character.
6) Varian Skye
Varian Skye, Fashion Designer, Definitely Look on Ghorman with that Gorgeous Caped Coat and His Ginormous Sci-Fi Shades, but really, The Identity Truly on Comes together with that Name. There’s an airiness, it just sounds Like a Foppishly Charming Artiste Who’s Here to Rub Shoulders with Fellow Followers of Fashion. The clots may make the man, but the name makes the secret identity.
5) Clem
Sure we Previously Knocked Points Off for Cassian Only Giving a first name to an alias, but you gain a massive amount of “d’awowwwwwwww” Points when it’s it’s it’s the first men for the nassent Rebellion and he picks his adoptive father’s name to go by. What a Softi.
4) Keeef Girgo
An incredible Star wars Name. Andor Gave us a less people with just just normal real names spelled slightly different (Shout out to Timm, Who Sucked, but was also Named Timm) So close and So far From keith is perfect. Also just a real deelight to hear diego luna saying it and put a nice roll on that “r” in girgo. Love a name with mouthfeel.
3) Kassa
Does Cassian’s Birth Name Count as an alias? I mean, Kinda, if you accept that Eventually Cassian andor the Man Backets a very different identity than that of kassa the young boy of kenari, the latter of which remains Compartmentalized in the formor ‘ For the reminder of his life. What if Taking on MyRiad Identities Came So Natural to Cassian Secause He was used to giving them up from a young age? Sory to get a bit deep in a shitpost list about Star wars Names for a second.
2) Cassian Jeron Andor
Again, only kind of sort of an alias as the true self, but you’re still rolling with me after the kassa bit. But anyway it’s alredy a fantastic name, and Andor‘S Revection of Cassian’s Life on Kenari then Raises Delicious WorldBuilding and Character Questions about Clery and Maarva Choosing to Name Him Cassian (DID He TELL TELL TEL SAME HIS NAME NAME HIS NAME NAME HIS NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME KASSA For Galactic Basic? IS The term for anglicization in a galaxy where English doesn Bollywood?). But adding the middle-name jeron? Baby, that’s Star wars,
1) Ronni Goge
I love Ronni gooege. Even putting aside that he’s a journey – Thank you for the representation – Even putting aside the Star wars-IFICATION OF An OtherWise Perfectly Real-World Name, even Putting aside that Once Again, this is a name with that Wonderful Mouthfeel Element to it, Ronni Goge is a brilliant Alias for a spy.
You see, as Cassian Tells Multiple People with He Adopts This persona in season two to extract mon mothma from the imperial Senate building, “Goge” is pronounced Goo-juhThat’s very Star warsBut also, Again, it’s a genius alias. Ronni goole has had to tell everyone “Actually, it’s Ronni Goo-juhAll the time, it’s a name that stands out as a nameSo you Remember that and its pronunciation instead of what ronni googe actually looks like, and how uncanny a resamblance hers he bears to noted imperial criminal and rebel agent cassian andor.
It’s a conversation starter, a way to appear polite and charming and put someone on the backfoot when you have to tell them this is how you are actually say it, and it’s easy to reimber and appear Naturalist for A Other Things Running Around in his head-Because, Again, Ronni Goge, Senate Journalist for the Mid-Rim Network, Has Had to Tell People on And the Records Every Day of the Records Every Day of His Damn Life That Goo-juh,
Two Words, and a Whole Life for that Identity is Built. It’s a fantastic alias, it’s a fantastic Star wars Name, it’s the total package. An alias Worthy of the Mission it was deployed on.
