Andor’s fourth episode takes us deeper into the Star Wars universe and helps us understand how the Rebel Alliance functioned in its nascent stages. Some of the major planets and characters whom we have seen earlier make their appearances in this episode titled Aldhani. The episode begins with Luthen Rael making a proposal to Cassian Andor to join the Rebel Alliance and be a part of something that accomplishes more than just his own goals. Although hesitant initially, Andor eventually agrees when Rael offers him money.

They then travel to the titular planet where Andor meets a small faction of the Rebel Alliance who plan to steal an Imperial facility’s payroll.

Here we explain some of the most important Easter eggs we can find inScar Andor episode 5:

Chandrila

The planet where Mon Mothma lives, Chandrila is one of the power centers during the Republic as well as the Empire’s reigns. It was in Star Wars: Rebellion, a 1998 game, that we are first introduced to this planet. The planet also serves as the New Republic’s first capital after Return of the Jedi.

Coruscant

This is the episode when we finally are back in Coruscant. This is the Republic as well as the Empire’s capital. In the Star Wars universe, this city is first mentioned in the book Heir to the Republic, written by Timothy Zahn. It was later added to the film canon in a Special Edition re-release of Return of the Jedi. It had an important role to play in Revenge of the Sith.

Scarif

The planet Scarif features extensively in Rogue One. This is where the plans of the Death Star are hidden. And it is during the attempt to steal these plans that Cassian Andor ends up losing his life along with other members of the Rebel Alliance.

Luthen’s shop

A number of items that we’ve earlier seen in the Star Wars universe can also be found in the antique shop that Luthen Rael runs. These include a Dark Lord Starkiller armour, a Mandalorian armour, Jedi as well as Sith holocrons, and others. Rael himself wears a kyber crystal, that not only gives power to the Deathstar’s superlaser, but also gives the colour to a lightsaber.
