![]() In that same scene in “Aldhani,” Cassian tells Luthen he “fought in Mimban when I was 16,” a reference to the muddy planet on which Han Solo was fighting for the Empire when he met Chewbacca at the start of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Partisan Front members are considered terrorists and far too extreme for the Rebellion to associate with. That’s the name of the insurgent group led by Forest Whitaker’s Rogue One character Saw Gerrera, and the group is seen in that same film. In “Aldhani,” Cassian references several groups he says Luthen could be from, including Partisan Front. Fondor was introduced all the way back in 1979, when it was mentioned in the novel Han Solo at Stars’ End. The video game Star Wars: Battlefront II takes players above the planet Fondor, which is home to key Imperial shipyards and serves as a “critical naval complex for the Empire,” notes. In the episode “Aldhani,” Luthen’s ship is identified as a Fondor Haulcraft. Sitting behind Luthen on the ship in the final scene of episode two are a pair of Aki-Aki, the aliens from Pasaana who Rey and the gang encountered during a festival in The Rise of Skywalker. Might a similar cover-up be afoot in Kenari? Aki-Aki We learn in Andor‘s second episode that records indicate Cassian’s home planet of Kenari was “abandoned after Imperial mining disaster.” Such an incident calls to mind a moment in Rogue One when Darth Vader noted how the Empire blamed the destruction of Jedha on a “mining disaster,” though it had actually destroyed the planet with the Death Star. In the episode “That Would Be Me,” we see Cassian with a small toy Bantha, one of those creatures with horns frequently spotted on Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine. Corellia is Han Solo’s home planet, so we previously saw Corellian hounds pop up in Solo: A Star Wars Story (specifically when Han and Qi’ra are trying to escape the area). In that same shipyard scene, Cassian is given a hard time by Pegla, who’s walking two Corellian hounds on leashes. Star Wars Holocron SeptemCorellian hounds We learn in that film that Ochi - who was working for Palpatine - killed Rey’s parents on the ship.ĭid you know? A ship of the same model as Ochi of Bestoon’s ship the Bestoon Legacy (a WTK-85A interstellar transport) from The Rise of Skywalker can be seen in #Andor episodes 1 and 2 /JVVwbttySV A flashback in The Force Awakens showed Rey watching Ochi’s ship leave Jakku with her parents on board, and Rey comes across the craft in The Rise of Skywalker. Near the end of Andor‘s first episode, there’s a scene where Cassian is in a shipyard and we see a WTK-85A interstellar transport ship like the one used by assassin Ochi of Bestoon in the sequel trilogy. (The planet’s name also happens to be an anagram of “Obi-Wan.”) We’ve seen that ship before … In “Kassa,” Timm asks Bix, “Are we bidding on the Wobani run tomorrow?” Wobani is the planet with Imperial labor camps where Jyn Erso was rescued by K-2SO and brought to the Rebellion early in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Crusher’s arms were cut off by thugs working for Unkar Plutt, forcing the alien to use mechanical ones like his counterpart in Andor. Familiar yellow armsĪt around the 14-minute mark in the first episode, “Kassa,” we see Cassian Andor walk by an alien with yellow mechanical arms that closely resembles “ Crusher,” an alien who appeared on Rey’s home planet of Jakku in The Force Awakens. That’s the same kind of creature a Teedo was riding while trying to capture BB-8 in The Force Awakens (Rey soon steps in and rescues the droid). While B2EMO is rolling along the road on Ferrix, we see a Luggabeast on the right side of the screen. ![]() As far as we know, though, BBY and ABY aren’t used within the Star Wars universe itself. This is, however, the first time a Star Wars show or movie has acknowledged the BBY dating system, which dates back to the 1990s, when it was used in a guide for a Star Wars roleplaying game. The first thing we see in Andor is a title card establishing we’re in “BBY 5,” meaning five years “before the Battle of Yavin” (when Luke Skywalker destroyed the first Death Star in A New Hope).įor years, fans have used BBY and ABY (meaning “after the Battle of Yavin”) to mark dates in Star Wars BBY 5 signals that the show is taking place five years before the first movie. Here are the series’ best Easter eggs for die-hard fans thus far: BBY It’s been said that the new Star Wars series Andor has little to no Easter eggs, but that isn’t entirely true - you just have to know where to look for some delightful references to the franchise’s lore. ![]()
