And I find that simply unbelievable that someone should think that. Because all I see is some sulky emo guy with no evidence of exceptional skills in any field."He has brass. You can see that, but..."

There appeared to have been some poison in the air in the ship, which is why all the dead Separatists had yellowed skin and were wearing gas masks.I’m confused on the timeline and why some are saying that the crashed ship people were dying from poison in the air. The scavengers that radio Andor didn’t seem concerned.
I was assuming the folk on the ship where just aliens who looked human apart from skin-colour. But that is a more sensible explanation. I found the storytelling somewhat incoherent in those flashback sections.There appeared to have been some poison in the air in the ship, which is why all the dead Separatists had yellowed skin and were wearing gas masks.
As Maarva and her husband enter the ship, B2EMO lets them know the air is fine to breathe, and Maarva comments that whatever it was has "burned off" and tells her husband to take his mask off.
It's possible that the poison got into the ship because they visited the mine where the disaster happened, but there certainly wasn't any poison in the planet's air, otherwise all the Kenari children would've died long ago.
Unless they had developed some kind of poison immunity, which will turn out to be a plot point later on.otherwise all the Kenari children would've died long ago.

Possibly. It fits, but we saw fighting on Mimban in Solo, and that was about 10BBY, so fighting on Mimban continues or resumes some unknown amount of time after the Clone Wars end. In fact, it sounds suspiciously like they took his official age in Rogue One (26), and said "Hey, when did that fighting on Mimban in Solo take place? 10 years before Rogue One? Let's see, 26 minus 10 gives us... 16!"Speaking of retconning, it looks like they took care of the age thing in episode 4. Cassian talks about being 16 and fighting in some war, while in the original canon, he was 6 when he became a child soldier. That puts Cassian a lot closer to Diego's actual age and now makes him about 30-31 for the start of the show, instead of 20-21, and 36 in Rogue One.
And I suspect we're not done with the flashback scenes - there just wasn't time for them this episode with all the introductions. We may yet see the seeds of his opposition to the Empire being sown shortly after his rescue/abduction.We could also just assume he was 6 when he and the other Kenari children were orphaned and so he considers that to be the starting point of his fight against the Empire.
That would also remove the unsavory “child soldier” element.
I thought they had green skin as well.I was assuming the folk on the ship where just aliens who looked human apart from skin-colour. But that is a more sensible explanation. I found the storytelling somewhat incoherent in those flashback sections.

Imperial: "Gas them all!"
Andor: "Ah hah! I am immune to poison because of an incident retconned into my backstory."
