With a three-episode premiere on Disney Plus, Andorra already promises to become something unique and real from the Star Wars universe. on Disney Plus, Star Wars has found a new home, ripe with many exciting stories in the galaxy far, far away. However, Andorra seems to be very different, and part of that is in the visual identity and story structure.
You could say that for three episodes, Andorra is an exciting but slow burn. Not only that, but it remains distinct from flashing lightsabers, the Force, and blaster combat. Even Easter eggs are hard to find and remain for the most die-hard of Star Wars fans.
8/8 Bryar Pistol
It seems like the Star Wars universe will never run out of ideas for weapons like Andorra brandishes another unique looking blaster. However, this blaster doesn’t seem to be unique to Star Warsonly the live-action series, if Andorra‘s blaster in episode 3 appears to be a Bryar pistol.
The bulky appearance of a Bryar pistol was first seen in the 1995 game, Star Wars: Dark Forcesand was the fan favorite blaster Star Wars Legends Jedi, Kyle Katarn. When introduced to canon in Star WarsFront (2016), it was dubbed the “K-16 Bryar pistol”.
7/8 Gonk Droid
In one of the many “blink and miss it” Easter eggs from Star Wars content, fans can see a classic droid “buzzing” all over the place. The gonk droids are a staple of Star Warsbecause of their slow movements and unpleasant sound effects, which simply repeat a monotonous “gonk”.
The audience barely gets a full picture of the gonk droid, but the sound and sight are unmistakable. Fans are sure to recognize one of the oldest and most famous droid types out there in the Star Wars universe.
6/8 Wobani Run
When Timm’s character asks Cassian and Bix, “Are we bidding on the Wobani run tomorrow?”, fans of Rogue One might prick up their ears at the mention of “Wobani.” This is the canon planet in Star Wars which was used by the empire as a detention center and labor camp.
It is also the planet where an adult Jyn Erso is introduced to both the audience and Cassian. It’s a nice reference to the movie that started this adventure 6 years in the making, and hopefully not the last audience to hear of Rogue One.
5/8 Y-Wing Bomber
Cassian visits a shipyard full of various spacecraft. There is a lot of metal junk around and scrap to try to avoid looking at it. Sharp-eyed fans, however, will easily spot the yellow cockpit of a Y-Wing bomber.
This ship may have been used since the Clone Wars, but it’s interesting to see a ship wrecked and wrecked here Andorra. It just goes to show that no one knows what treasures lurk in a scrap heap, especially when Star Wars Easter egg fanatics are over.
4/8 Exist Legacy
Perhaps one of the more eyebrow-raising Easter eggs of Andorra is not about a named Jedi or a character, but that of a ship in the distance. The public can see a spacecraft that has a similar, if not identical, design to the Bestoon Legacy, a famous ship in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
The Bestoon Legacy belonged to the Sith assassin, Ochi van Bestoon, but was also used to drop off a child Rey, as seen in the flashback in The power awakens. Perhaps this is another common thread to the often divisive sequel trilogy.
3/8 Toys Bantha
At Maarva .’s residence Andorra, fans will be able to spot a toy next to a blaster rifle. This toy is peculiar, as it appears to be made of sticks and fur, and has the identical shape and horns of a Bantha. Banthas are large, furry mammals with spiral horns, a distinct design that definitely comes back to this toy.
It’s a nice die-hard Easter egg for Star Wars fans and one that not many people would have noticed, due to the increase in intensity in the scene. Banthas were mainly used as herd animals by Tusken marauders, so Maarva must have had quite a few adventures if she has a toy of one.
2/8 The Clone Wars
As fans learned from Rogue One, Cassian Andorra fought on the side of the Separatists of the Clone Wars. Star Wars fans hope so Andorra answers a lot of questions they have about the character and his past, and it certainly will. The three episodes so far are gently immersed in Cassian’s childhood and will hopefully further explain how he came to fight for the Separatists.
When an unknown ship landed on the technology-missing planet Kenari, Cassian boarded to find the crew dead. He was soon taken by Maarva, and perhaps Cassian’s childhood will take us through his experiences during the Clone Wars.
1/8 BBY 5
At the beginning of Andorra, some fans may raise their eyebrows in confusion as to what exactly “BBY” means. This is a term that is not very common in live action, but has an integral meaning for: Star Wars fans. BBY is the acronym for “Before the Battle of Yavin”, a significant Star Wars event in which Luke Skywalker blew up the first Death Star.
With this reference point, fans can view the timeline of Star Wars, because it’s always expanding its canon in movies, TV, comics, books, and games. The canon use of BBY is to the delight of many die-hard Star Wars fans, who can now understand exactly when Andorra occurs.
Star Wars: Andoro is out now on Disney Plus, with new episodes every Wednesday.
