Andor Season 2 Episode 1 Easter Eggs & Breakdown
One year after the events on Ferris – BBY 4. Each time there is a time skip in the show, the Ferrix Gong sounds.
At the Sienar Test Facility #73, a tech goes to run tests on a Tie Interceptor. Sienar Fleet Systems was one of the main makers of starships and arms. It was first mentioned in The Clone Wars and had its first appearance in Star Wars Rebels.
That tech meets with Andor who is dressed in a pilot's uniform. Niya tells him that he needs to go tonight. The password is Kafrene.
The Ring of Kafrene is where Andor met with Tivik in Rogue One.
He boards the ship and has issues flying it. A Range Trooper shoots at him. This trooper was first shown in Solo: A Star Wars Story but was mentioned in Star Wars Battlefront II.
Andor makes it outside and manages to escape two more Tie Fighters (Tie Advanced X1).
On Mina-Rau, Bix is having a nightmare that Dr. Gorst has come to find her while B2EMO and the others are asleep. Talia, Brasso, and Wilmon check on her. Bee tells them Cassian will want to know she is still having nightmares.
On Chandrila at the Mothma Estate, Leida is showing her peer maids her wedding dress. Mon tells Perrin to figure out all what to do with Sordo, Erskin, and Governor Klavin.
Mon and Val see that Luthen has also come to the wedding. He's come with Sculdun with a gift for the betrothed.
She greets Senator Beeva the Tay Kolma who wants to speak with her.
Luthen and Kleya talk about how Cassian got away on Sienar but they haven't heard from him.
Back on Mina-Rau, Bix is working on a machine for watering crops. Wilmon is flirting with Beela. They all look up as an imperial ship approaches.
Cassian lands the tie, calling for Porko. But he is nowhere to be found. Instead he meets Gerdis and Bardi who are the leaders of a local group. They capture Cassian.
The Maltheen Divide: Director Krennic is having a secret meeting. If someone isn't in the room they aren't cleared for the project. Colonel Yularen and Governor Tarkin are absent but mentioned.
Dedra Meero is at the meeting along with Partagaz. They are shown an infomercial for the Great Valleys of Ghorman where the Ghorman spiders help merchants thrive.
Krennic tells them that Ghorman is of great interest to the Emperor. His dream of energy independence will become a reality: Energy Initiative is the centerpiece of his agenda.Ghorman is rich in deep substrate foliated Kalkite that they need to coat the reactor lenses. If they fail to find an alternative then the Empire will have to take control of Ghorman.
The bandits don't believe Cassian is working for the Rebellion. Bardi, Rika, and Gerdis are trying to figure out how the Tie Fighter works.
Admiral Daysar is worried that drilling on Ghorman will leave the planet unstable. Partagaz says that Ghorman is not some obscure planet. It does have political power.
Cassian figures out the bandits are part of the Maya Pei Brigade. Maya Pei was the leader of a rebel faction associated with Luthen, first mentioned in Season 1 of Andor.
The Ministry of Enlightenment (aka the media working for the Empire), led by Dee Shambo and Nisus Osar, will help them make Ghorman look bad to the rest of the galaxy.
The Empire plans to build a new armory in Palmo, the capital of Ghorman.
Krennic invited Meero to be a part of this group. He asks what she would do in Ghorman. She says he needs a radical insurgency he can count on to do the wrong thing.
On Mina-Rau, Bee is sad. He misses Cassian. Brasso tells them that the ship is there as part of an Imperial Supply Census. Next to the radio Wilmon uses there is a picture of Maarva Andor.
At the wedding banquet, Luthen is talking to a young man in the Navy. He tells Luthen he was training on Steergard but now he is being transferred. This is the place Cassian stole an Imperial N-S9 Starpath Unit from in season 1.
Tay tells Mon his business has gone sour and wants to discuss her Foundation.
Meanwhile, Cassian gets caught in the middle when the Maya Pei group starts fighting.
Episodes 1-3 of Andor Season 2 are now streaming on Disney+.
