ANDOR EPISODE 5 BREAKDOWN! Star Wars Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

welcome back to new rock stars I'm Eric. Boss and this is a breakdown of Star. Wars Andor episode 5 the axe forgets. which is a relief because I forced way. too much axe on a smelly day to Revenge. of the Sith and I hope no one remembers. it from Indiana Jones Easter eggs to. just downright Great Character details. let's break down everything that you. might have missed in this episode. composer Nicholas brell's music. continues to evolve over the titles. Episode by episode this time adding some. piano notes to the mix. [Music].

by the season finale this better be brel. succession. theme now this title of the axe forgets. comes from the rebel arval SK line later. the axe forgets but the tree remembers. he's referring to how oppressors tend to. forget their crimes but the wounded. never forget and despite this episode. focusing so much on the victims of the. Empire it's not titled the tree. remembers and I think it's because we. are all axes and trees in different ways. to different people we tend to remember. how we've been scarred but not the scars.

that we leave on others Cassian Andor. for example totally a victim a tree. scarred in his own ways but also an axe. in others and one of the victims of his. cutting croar a tree deeply scarred and. that's who we start with this episode. sunlight briefly beams in before fading. on his face it was implied from that. Spaceport scene last episode that this. metropoline world could be hosnian prime. future capital of the new Republic after. the Empire Falls and if so a blinding. light in the sky of this planet totally. foreshadows the apocalyptic end of hosan. prime by the first order Maybe to a.

destined Doom for K disguised as a. Heavenly Spotlight each storyline this. episode begins with a kind of breakfast. and on the table of this breakfast are. some fruits that look like murun the. fruit popular from Rebels and the Book. of Boba Fett but these fruits are. smaller than they are in the book of. Boba Fett they actually look more like. real world kiano melons his mother Edy. played by Katherine Hunter fig from. Order of the Phoenix and the witches. from the tragedy of MC Beth pours him. cereal with blue bam milk and this. puffed cereal that kind of looks like. oops all berries he holds one and stares. at it probably wishing he were on a doom.

space station in this shape instead of. here with his mom she nags you're. slouching by the time you remember to. sit up straight it's too late it might. as well wear a sign that says I promise. to disappoint you yeah this is a real. trigger for the Moody boys of this. episode shoulders. back more don't touch me you want. something you tell me sirel spends time. staring at cassian's mug shot and I. think these two are on Parallel. trajectories because if you think about. it the only real Prospect available to.

serel at this point through his uncle. harlo might be the Rebellion something. seral might try out as a way to get. closer to Cassian we could totally. imagine a scenario where these two are. on a mission together and then woh. because as V later says everyone has. their own Rebellion Cassian wakes up to. find ski going through his stuff. including his k19 Brier pistol the same. Blaster used by Kyle katar in the dark. Forces game and that corporate Blaster. that Cassian got from the prore cops in. episode one as Cassian approaches his. eyes drop to sk's tattoo crate head what.

about. this by the hand yes sk's chest tattoo. has a barcode meaning this is some kind. of prison registry in crate head is a. reference to the crate Dragon which. might have been Ski's prison gang now by. the hand could be a nod to the path of. the open hand from Tessa Gratton and. Justina Ireland's New Path of Deceit. from the high Republic series published. literally this week but you know Lucas. will probably had outlines of it for. months now this story follows a culty. knel gang who believe the force should. know longer be used but we us to hands.

there's also a group of Palpatine. operatives from Legends called The. Emperor's hand marij Jade Luke. Skywalker's wife was a member of it and. the Rebels Episode Legacy of Mandalore. confirmed this group existing Cannon. even if Mara Jade remains non-cannon for. now it would be crazy for SK to be. involved in either of these groups I. think he may have just gotten this. tattoo as a reference to the nil. ideology ski asks cassan how he knows. these so where were. you sa y center.

three years I was 13 when I went in they. built a lot of cages huh the axe forgets. but the tree remembers now it's our turn. to do The Chopping now remember cassan. did have a prior mug shot in Imperial. records claiming he was from best so he. likely did sometime before he was forced. to fight in mimon Ski's reference to the. episode title is also him referencing. his brother a pepper tree farmer and as. he walks away he passes an axe in. freshly cut firewood meaning that it was. sk's morning chores and rather. remembering that likely caus him to work.

up this sweat that required this bath. another breakfast scene shows us mon. mtha with her husband pin dri here. Cloris you know his name yeah I love the. subtextual storytelling there man has a. new driver who has been spying on her. for the fact that parin doesn't know the. new driver suggests that he's completely. removed from the spycraft he's super. ignorant but also we learned they have a. daughter Lita who changes the routine. and says that daddy's taking me to. school today the point is we have a. schedule the driver's waiting I've. planned on this and we're going.

you're only doing it to show off what. just. go what would I be showing off that. you're involved somehow yeah man's plan. routine likely involved her using this. schedule to connect with her Rebel. contacts every move she makes has to be. carefully planned so Lita altering the. schedule mucks all that up indeed monma. is using this girl for show but for more. than just political posturing but to. truly have a convincing cover identity. for the Empire who is watching her it's. also pretty sad to think that when mon. MMA goes on the lamb to publicly join.

the Rebellion following the Gorman. Massacre she will be leaving behind a. daughter NC pours Cassie in his. breakfast Trey. milk you can live on it you may question. Your Existence after a few. days memorable isn't it yeah nimic is. obsessed with memorable true moments. because he believes the Empire is. brainwashing everyone this Series has. been so concerned with an imperial star. path unit but nimic shows Cassie in an. old star path unit unit old and true and.

sturdy one of the best navigational. tools ever built can't be jammed or. intercepted something breaks you can fix. it. yourself hard to learn yes but once. you've mastered it you're free this prop. is actually the backside of a Polaroid. sx70 camera from 1972 and I love that. they use an early '70s Appliance to. hearken back to the beat up analog Tech. look from the 1977 Star Wars film they. use a super analog camera something that. literally prints the photograph on film.

in your hand basically the oldest type. of practical working camera that we'd. have in our world nimic rants there's a. growing list of things we've known and. forgotten things they pushed us to. forget things like. Freedom neic sees oppression everywhere. yeah neic explains the psychology of the. Empire's fascist control by using. Imperial technology people have allowed. themselves to become enslave also notice. during the scene how Cassian observes. how ski is drinking with his left hand. this is the moment that cassine. registers all of their handedness like. later when he says nimic favors his.

right but shoots with his left nimic in. this scene holds a star path in his. right hand but keeps his true moral. compass his Manifesto in his left but. neic goes on the pace of repression. outstrips our ability to understand it. and that is the real trick of the. Imperial Thought Machine it's easy hide. behind 40 atrocities in a single. incident o speak truth I would love to. see nimic in a speed debate with paragas. we are Healthcare Providers providers of. an Obi to the basses to which we've. grown addicted an addiction willingly. subscribed to by by alien patients.

ignored by the cruelties of Freedom. freedoms you have an open invitation to. attempt to cure nimic says our Elemental. rights are such a simple thing to hold. they will have to shake the Galaxy. awfully hard to loosen our grip yeah. neic is using the same grip metaphor. that Leia uses on Tarkin the more you. tighten your grip tarken the more star. systems will slip through your fingers. but nimic sees meaning in everything. including what is currently in his hands. two seemingly random objects and yet. this charts an astral path this Maps the. trail of political Consciousness both. systems based on truth both navigating.

toward clear and achievable outcomes and. I love what this means for Cassian the. path ahead in the Stars through the eye. of aldani is the same kind of thing as. the path toward political Awakening for. him if you're loving Andor as much as I. am and you want a fun way to commemorate. this cool show all season long the Star. Wars card Trader by Topps is dropping. weekly card sets after every episode. airs last week I got this cool one of. mon mothma cruising up to Lutheran. riel's antique shot from episode 4 star. wars card Trader by Topps lets you open.

rock stars Max and propose a trade now. the sheep livestock is a real world. British breed called Jacob sheep that. commonly have four horns but they. actually added an additional prosthetic. pair to make six I've heard some. speculation that these might be Nerfs as. in you know a scruffy looking Nerf. herder but that hasn't been confirmed. Lieutenant Gorn arrives at the temple. what's. this target practice yes we learned. later this episode that he fell in love. with a local woman his discipline in. this case is truly rooted in genuine.

respect for the aldani sacred sites back. on Barracks supervisor Bevin oversees a. cleanup from K's mess back in episode 3. appointing Captain too as the prefi. giving him the hotel as his new Imperial. headquarters which includes this laundry. device with a garment bag I assume it is. Willies cuz you know that guy probably. paid an arm and a leg for dry cleaning. an imperial cph Patrol Speeder Bike. floats up to the left we actually first. saw one of these chasing Han and Kira on. corellia in Solo a Star Wars story and. as the Imperials March past the editing. perfectly syncs with the aldani rebels.

marching to practice looking like these. Imperials Cassie Provine knows what hand. they all shoot with and suggest to. switch formation so that their guns are. on the outside I assume next episode. it's going to be pretty important on the. mission and then a TIE fighter buzzes. past and it reappears over the crest. doing a really low. flyover I love how the humans Duck and. Cover their ears but the Sheep unfaced. why because Jacob's sheep suck at acting.

they refuse to react to VFX on the set. should have put me in the volume mimic. says they soon. see surprise from above is never as. shocking as one from below ultimately. this will prove true in the Battle of. Scar Cassian and his team in that battle. will be able to bring down a threat from. above the freaking death star with an. assault from the ground below on the. scar of surface CTIC quizzes cassan in. the aldani language hello Nat again Nat.

stop. na n it's hard now Fiona sha told us. that they created actual functional. languages for this show I tried to find. a linguist on the staff but so far I've. only found Marina Tindle credited as a. dialect coach now in the real world all. spoken languages have a practicality in. how they evolve and I like how in this. case the word for stop has a hard as. opposed to soft phonetic pronunciation. at the end of the word n as opposed to n. at the ISB damiro brainstorms in her. investigation H and Prime it's useless.

they haven't broken misplaced or. mislabeled a single military component. in the past 12 quarters yeah H and Prime. coming up again which might be where K. is located and thus how we could tie. back into this miro's Aid says you're on. to. something Castle fondor targeting. consoles from jaku proton Warheads from. base K the steer guard star paath ah so. these are all the past cases that de Mir. has been trying to connect kessle could. refer to the events of solo a Star Wars. story where Han and his crew stole. coaxium that Starship fuel from the. Pikes on Kastle which ended up in the.

hands of the Rebel group The Cloud. Riders one of the cloud Riders is Ben. thi Tut tubes brother to edre TU tubes. member of s gerrera's partisans and. based on a shot in one of the late Andor. trailers edrio will appear later in the. season fondor is a shipyard Planet seen. in Battlefront 2 from which luthan got. his fondor hallcraft which remember is. mysteriously equipped with a hyperdrive. jaku is a desert planet from the P. awakens future setting of The Battle of. Shoup and where Ray grew up and decades. before this series Palpatine began an. archaeological dig on all to prep for.

his later Sith Observatory from which he. will postmortem orchestrate his. operation Cinda contingency plan to. Scorch all planets proton Warheads go on. the tip of proton torpedoes and of. course steer guard where the star path. unit was taken sagrera is at least. benefiting from all these incidents but. as someone in Heidi anyway I don't think. he really cares if the Empire finds out. what he does he might even prefer it. because he's like a terrorist instead I. think D's investigation is going to lead. to luthan who said this episode that he. hasn't really been careful and I think. when he gets exposed that's going to. force mon mothma to cut him off to. maintain her deception and her status in.

the Senate Goran reprimands his men with. an engineering officer from corusant. arriving today and in our business yeah. another reference to this corusant. engineer whom I think we see arriving in. that Imperial shuttle later on whoever. this is it couldn't be a major Wrinkle. in their mission maybe a VIP that the. rebels have to choose whether or not to. assassinate or stay focused on their. mission or if they have some bigger. booms planned for this damn a dead VIP. that's going to make this Mission an. even bigger blip for the Empire ski. rages about the crystal kyber skyber in.

a stone worth 30,000 credits yeah SK is. lowb net luthan said not to take less. than 50,000 for this Crystal but Vel. quells the feud get still Cassian comes. expain to them I'm here for the money. you can't live with that I'm not worth. it I walk away and wish you luck so by. telling them all the truth Cassi just. lays down their cards so that they know. his motives pin challenges monoa about. not telling them about this new charity. Foundation which she probably hid from. her husband because this is how she's. going to move some Rebel funds around. ski reveals to Cassie and what his. personal Rebellion is his brother was a.

pepper tree farmer whose land was. flooded by an imperial prefect and his. brother drowned himself so how cousin. going to make the janer without some. bell peppers but this Revelation also. gives greater weight for ski to attack. this Imperial Dam this Dam damned a. sacred River and flooded a valley. displacing thousands of farmers so in. every single one of those farmers ske. will see his brother it might get hard. for him to not get emotional tomorrow B. splits off with CTO on a side part of. the mission that they won't tell Cassian. as the two women of the group maybe. there's some role to play as Alon. priestesses maybe as friends of the.

Common's wife that got mentioned earlier. remember there was a little moment. earlier where cintus said that she. rigged the charges that they're going to. use in some way in this Mission so maybe. they could be on their own suicide. mission to blow this Dam after Cassian. departs it leaving him as a sole. survivor with the payload and that's why. it was so important for luthan to have. him on this Mission and actually if you. think about it it could be an even. bigger deal than he thought when he. insisted on piloting the freighter. earlier back when he shamed them for not. knowing how to calibrate the weight. because by moving himself in the pilot. position and telling V you'll still get. the credit for it he might have.

accidentally shifted the rolls around so. that would stay behind maybe we'll see. how it goes in luthan's shop on the. shelf behind them are some big Easter. eggs and I mean big because those Jedi. and Sith holocrons are way larger than. they are when we see them elsewhere in. Star Wars titles so I don't know if. these are real holocrons they may just. be enlarged replicas of them but I don't. know why they would have replicas of. these things it's not like they're. widely known but even crazier than these. beside them to the right are the Sara. stones from Indiana Jones in the Temple. of Doom now this isn't the only broader. lucasfilm family cameos the final shot.

shows three Carbonite plates we saw them. better last episode in the interior shot. the outermost one shows Indiana Jones. whip beneath that Frozen and Carbonite. is the golden idol from the temple and. Raiders and beneath that Frozen and. Carbonite are Indiana Jones famous Alden. boots and there's a long history of Star. Wars and Indiana Jones referencing each. other R2 and 3PO are among the. hieroglyphics by The Arc of the Covenant. shanghai's Club Obi-Wan and Temple of. Doom a barrel on the boat in the Last. Crusade with a Portuguese word for. Carbonite the golden idol cameos among. DED vos's items and solo Star Wars story.

and various shared sound effects from. the Lucas film archives sometimes Easter. eggs are just meant to be fun like I. don't think we're meant to read too much. into luthan having the lothal tablets or. plun mask or the Star Killer armor when. it comes to how important these Easter. eggs are it really just depends on the. director because when Dae filon includes. Easter eggs and his Star Wars titles I. think he wants us to be like Dade it's. too random to be random follow me on Tik.
