Interesting video and makes me look forward even more to Andor returning to our screens! But I don't see your Krennic theories holding much water, and so that also undermines some of your related theories. The only on-screen appearance of Krennic was in Rogue One and along with his book appearances in Catalyst & Thrawn: Treason, he has spent his entire time working on the Death Star and related issues. So Krennic searching for Axis wouldn't really make any sense, since from the Imperial perspective at least Axis has nothing to do with Project Star Dust and is an entirely separate rebel agitator. What would make more sense is that Axis and Cassian are investigating Krennic and the gigantic mysterious project he's running. Since Andor is supposed to end immediately before Rogue One, where Cassian meets with an informant who has Death Star info, it fits that at least the final arc of the season would see Luthen and Cassian piecing together what Krennic is up to. But Krennic taking time away from the Death Star and consolidating his power over it to hunt down a rebel with no apparent connection to the project doesn't make sense. Although Mon Mothma's escape was already covered somewhat in Rebels, I think your Luthen sacrificing himself to save her theory makes more sense here. But since Krennic isn't hunting Axis, I think Dedra and Syril will feature, ad possible meet their ends, in this arc. Dedra and Syril have no reason to consider Krennic an enemy, but good reason to vehemently despise Axis, who killed Syril's colleagues and cost him his career and who Dedra will blame for the Ferrix fiasco and her demotion (assuming the ISB do punish her). So armed with their mutual connection and hatred of Axis, Dedra & Syril will probably spend season 2 slowly getting closer to catching Luthen, while also proving their worth and advancing within the Empire once more. So by the final episode, they will have discovered Luthen is Axis and working with Mon Mothma, resulting in Dedra & Syril almost catching them both, but with Luthen sacrificing himself at the last second to save Mon.
Thank you for leaving your thoughts. Glad you enjoyed the video too. The link between Krennic and Andor could stem from Narkina 5? The empire may discover Andor was on Narkina 5 through interrogating Kino and thus want to know what Andor discovered on Narkina? In R1, Krennic is very much on the front line so to speak, so he may yet need to stretch his duties to some level. For me, the relationship between Dedra and Syril holds the most intrigue. In terms of theories, there's no end to what they could be seen doing in S2 and the lengths they'll go to, to restore pride and notoriety.

Would be good to see Tivik (Daniel Mays) make an appearance.
I recall reading a theory where by Tivik works for Luthen as a double spy. That’s why Andor kills him without question.
