5 Easter eggs in Andor Season 2 that you might have missed

The second season of Andor was arguably the best show in the Star Wars franchise ever since the conclusion of the original film trilogy. While other similar shows have often either missed the mark or gone overboard in terms of narrative saturation, the second season of Andor has successfully managed to carve out an immersive storyline that is dynamic and engaging.

This is owing to the fact that Andor season two is replete with several references and easter eggs that not only enrich the narrative but also redefine its place in the larger scheme of things within the Star Wars universe. These Easter eggs are often easy to miss, hidden that they are within the narrative, and therefore we have prepared a list of the five most important Easter eggs from the second season.

What are the 5 Andor season 2 Easter eggs?

1) Tony Gilroy's voice cameo

Tony Gilroy is the creator of the show, and therefore it is only befitting if he lends his voice for a cameo on the show. This happened in the show's episode 11 when Cassian and K2SO are on their way to rescue Kleya, and a voice reprimands them to return immediately. That voice belongs to Gilroy and comes across as another addition to several other voice cameos in the show by renowned artists such as Simon Pegg and Daniel Craig.

2) The Partisans feasting on a massiff dog

The Partisans are a group of rebels led by Saw Gerrera and were first introduced on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They have been known to attack the Empire and create massive chaos. Episode 5 of Andor saw Wilmon teaching the Partisans the uses of rhydo fuel. They soon take a break for lunch, wherein they are seen roasting a massiff dog on a spit. This is a particular breed of dog otherwise found on desert planets.

3) The appearance of a Loth cat

As their name suggests, these adorable creatures belong to the planet of Loth, from where Ezra Bridger hails as well. Loth cats were seen for the first time on Star Wars: Rebels, and this Easter egg provided a satisfying reference to the TV show. The Loth cat was seen on the tenth episode, and it walked up to the dead body of Lonni Jung, the Luthen spy, lying on a bench.

4) The Lina Soh Hospital

Episode 10 had Luthen being taken by the Empire to a hospital for medical attention. Although the words atop the hospital building appear to be jumbled up at first, they read as the Lina Soh Hospital. It is worth remembering that he was the erstwhile Chancellor during the High Republic era.

5) Inside Luthen's gallery

Luthen's gallery itself is a treasure trove of Easter eggs, and the Nautolan bleeder, the Gungan skull, and the Naboo headdress found inside the gallery are intriguing in their own right and shed remarkable light on Luthen's character.
