The second and finale season of Star Wars: Andor ends with a shot of Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) walking out into a field cradling a baby. We immediately assume that this is the child of our title character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), whom Bix left behind earlier in the season right after finding out she was pregnant, knowing that he wouldn't be able to devote his full energies to the Rebellion if he had a family to take care of. We know that Cassian himself dies in the movie Rogue One, which means he'll never know he has a kid out there.
If Disney ever wants to return to the story it told in Andor, it could in theory center a movie or TV show around Cassian's son, now grown up and fighting the First Order or something. In fact, some fans think that already happened: Is Poe Dameron, played by Oscar Isaac in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the grown-up son of Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen?
There's a lot of writing about this theory out there, although mostly it seems to be people refuting it. The basics are that no, Poe Dameron couldn't be Cassian's son. In canon, Poe Dameon was born in the year 2 ABY, or two years after the Battle of Yavin, the battle where the rebels destory the first Death Star at the end of the original Star Wars movie. Cassian's child, on the other hand, was born a year before the Battle of Yavin. Poe Dameron even has parents in canon: Shara Bey, an A-Wing pilot who flew in the Battle of Endor (as seen in Return of the Jedi) and Kes Dameron, who was part of a special forces unit called the Pathfinders, led by Han Solo.
So that would seem to settle things...but when there's money to be made, anything can happen. If Disney or Lucasfilm thought it was worth making a movie or show that hit two birds with one stone — exploring Poe Dameron's story and following up on the end of Andor — I can see them rewriting things a bit. Remember how, in The Last Jedi, Rey was revealed to be the child of no one important, only for it to come out in The Rise of Skywalker that she was the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine? These things can be fudged.
That said, it's hard to predict where the Star Wars franchise will go next. Will there be any interest in picking up the story of Andor, or exploring the further adventures of Poe Dameron? With a regime change reportedly on the way, everything's up in the air
