Cassian himself is probably the least interesting character in the show.
I disagree on that. He's the most "regular dude existing within the system" that the series has ever shown. Like when he killed those corporate guards, it was out of self-preservation, not because he's some homicidal sith/Imperial officer cruel desire.
Also how he gets used as a pawn that just wanted to be a mercenary and ends up actually believing in the cause.
The whole stuff about them being from a planet that if I'm not mistaken was genocided of their people, making his origin so mysterious. Not sure how I feel about that, hoping there's more to it for it to really make an impact beyond "Empire genocided my race". Yeah, sure, but they've done that before. I'm hoping there's something more, I guess.
