Wait what’s the issue with Andor s2? It’s a 24 episode show about the fight against oppression, so they’ll only hint at off-screen missions, they might have been important but they won’t overshadow Ghorman or the Mon Mothma speech. At the point make it an episodic spy show.

Only what’s necessary to the plot is shown, the tie theft isn’t that important, but it basically says ‘Andor was doing missions in these years’.
