Spoilers Andor - Season 2

[Turtletrekker]

Sheer fucking hubris.

Sorry, I thought we were just quoting catchphrases. I have spoken.

So say we all.

Strange space radiation changes him blue and gives him antennae, and he founds a new species.

I know someone who kept saying she thought "Andor was about the planet," and it took a while before I realized she was also misremembering the name "Endor."

 

[Set Harth]

There's probably a lot of that.

Screw you, Stair Wares! Star Trek had Andor first!

 

[The Wormhole]

I know someone who kept saying she thought "Andor was about the planet," and it took a while before I realized she was also misremembering the name "Endor."

So the story goes, one of the reason why Enterprise changed the name of the Andorian homeworld to Andoria after DS9 established it as Andor was that Berman or Braga felt Andor sounded too similar to Endor. Probably not true, but if it is, kind of funny that Star Wars has no problem having an Andor and Endor.

Though this kind of reminds me of a joke I heard about a decade ago when the Lucas Story Group actually tried to remove the word "Ewok" and replace it with "Endor Native." The joke I heard was "what, are they worried 'Endorian' would sound too Star Trek?"

The rocket launcher the Range Trooper is using in this, is the Smart Rocket from DICE's Battlefronts. First time it's ever appeared it anything other than those games, according to Wookieepedia at least

And a Hallmark Ornament calls the TIE he's stealing a 'TIE Avenger', so it's not just inspired by the Legends design, it uses its name as well.

It's always cool when they bring stuff from other media, like the games, into the movies. Have we seen that kind Trooper before?

Unless Season 2 proves otherwise, my headcanon is that Werner Herzog's Mandalorian character is Uncle Harlo.

 

[JD]

Yes, it's a Range Trooper from Solo.

OK, I've only seen Solo a couple time and takes several viewings for that kind of stuff to stick in my head.

I have to admit, I might go to Disneyland just to see all the Star Wars stuff.

 

[KennyB]

I just watched 2x1 at Celebration in Tokyo and wow. I’ve missed this show. Just as intense as season 1. Flew by.
