Andor It is not exactly known for launching the service of fans like Tony Gilroy And his team has carved out a space in Star Wars The galaxy that feels on the ground, gritty and fresh, and I like that the fan service is not a main priority.
But in season 2 there was an Easter egg that nods to the past, and I thought it was quite beautiful when I learned about it!
In the premiere of season 2, Cassian Andor is sent on a mission to steal a new type of fighter, one who is considerably more elegant, faster and more threatening than your standard problem.
If it seemed familiar to you but you couldn’t have positioned it, it was revealed by the official Star Wars Website that this ship is the Tie AvengerA model introduced for the first time in the classic 1994 PC game Star Wars: Tie Fighter.
For anyone, like me, who spent late nights glue to a clumsy CRT monitor, flying imperial missions with a joystick and overwhelming DOS graphics, this is a full -blown moment.
Tie Fighter It was the following of X-Wing And put the players in the piloting cabin of the best stars of the Empire, revealing a plot on the threats inside the emperor. I liked playing those games when I was growing! It could still be considered one of the best Star Wars games ever made.
What makes this cool Easter egg is that the avenger bond Andor It was not only CG slapped in the background, it was a complete practical set.
According to Lucasfilm, it was a “rare build of interior and exterior interior and external titles sets” and its design has even borrowed whisper elements from Kylo Ren. Skywalker’s ascent.
Andor has already done this kind of things with the Luthen shop from the first season. Fans with the Eagle eyes identified artifacts and relics from The force sparked And other deep cuts combed on the shelves.
You don’t need to have played Tie Fighter appreciate the tension in Cassian’s mission. But if you did it? You probably smiled when you realized that a piece of Star Wars canon of the 90s had just made its way into the live action.
