Cassian may seem one note to the song of others, but his job was never to be the leader. It was to inspire others to lead. And that complexity and that choice enhanced his own character's shell as an osmosis of story. One that again is an anchor for the development of others. And through their progressions the common denominator is still Cassian Andor.
