They will have to adjust his age for all the details to fit. Taking the official canon that Andor is 26 in Rogue One we get this:<table style='width: 100%'><tr><th>Andor Age</th><th>Event</th><th>BBY</th></tr><tr><td>N/A</td><td>The Phantom Menace - Palpatine becomes Chancellor</td><td>32</td></tr><tr><td>0</td><td>Andor born</td><td>26</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Clone Wars begin</td><td>22</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Andor "begins fighting"</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Clone Wars end - Empire declared</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td>21</td><td>Andor season 1</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>Rogue One</td><td>0</td></tr></table>He would start his fight during the Clone Wars, so this fits, but the flashback sequences we see in Andor do not. The Separatist insignia on the crashed crew's uniforms and the references to a Republic ship indicate that flashback takes place during the Clone Wars, but it is hard to believe Kassa is 7 years old there. You could handwave it to be "alien physiology" physically maturing faster, but whatever.Andor's age is not mentioned in Rogue One, that has come from secondary (albeit official) sources. If they adjust his age to be 30 in Rogue One (making him born in 30BBY), then the timeline lines up better to what we see in Andor, IMO. He would be 11 at the end of the Clone Wars.But "wait a minute," I hear you say. What about him having "been in this fight" since he was 6? On this adjusted timeline, that would be two years before the Clone Wars begin. Who was he fighting? I would say that in the lead-up to the Clone Wars, the Republic was not always a good place. Palpatine as Chancellor was working to secretly stir up trouble, and would turn a blind eye to atrocities on minor worlds that never became widely known. Most (all?) of the systems that would eventually join the Separatists would be part of the Republic at this point. I think we may see this in Andor -- showing that the mining disaster took place about 5 years prior, when Kassa was 6, and was the result of an unscrupulous/corrupt Republic system taking advantage of the Kenari world. It certainly looks like the equipment in the jungle has been left to the elements for a few years.</blockquote>
