ANDOR EPISODE 8 BREAKDOWN! Star Wars Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

welcome back to New rockstars I'm Eric. Boss and this is a breakdown of Andor. episode 8 narkina 5. and narkina 5. really should be the name of the. five-man boy band after they struck that. pose. [Music]. I'm sorry let's break down all the. visual details of Star Wars Easter eggs. that you might have missed this episode. composer Nicholas Patel updates some. music over the opening title so that now. it sounds like a hammer on metal. [Music]. echoing the sounds of Cassian and his. labor crew assembling this Imperial. Machinery in prison Cassian has moved. off of niyamos as a tan armored short.

Trooper barks Roman. yeah this stripper is not credited as a. different actor so it's probably once. again Mall voice actor Sam Wentworth. doing an uncredited Cameo like he did as. a short Trooper last episode the. drippers sort the prisoners into. transports based on how able-bodied they. are the guy brought up Cassian tuck. hybacks is from galdi and is sent to. belsavis which is a planet from Star. Wars Legends in 1995 Children of the. Jedi novel in the Old Republic stories. it's a frozen planet used as a hiding.

place of young Jedi who escaped The. Purge like roganda is Marin who was also. made Canon as one of the Jedi names on. the wall in Obi-Wan Kenobi this idea of. immediately sorting prisoners into labor. camps and rushing them off is one of. many dark parallels in this episode to. Nazi concentration camps George Lucas. has depicted the Empire space Nazi since. the beginning I mean have you seen the. wings on dangerous pants this episode. continues the metaphor in the way the. prisoners are just so efficiently sorted. and shipped off to different labor camps. to focus on the taking off of the shoes. reminding us of the heartbreaking last.

Witnesses exhibit at the U.S Holocaust. Memorial Museum and the way these. prisoners are lined up for showers this. whole place is just a well-oiled machine. of Cruelty we cut to Cyril Carn in the. Bureau of Standards the first shot is. literally what he sees from his cubicle. when he looks up I think he might be. playing a game on his terminal Batman is. playing Galaga. there aren't really any numbers or text. on his screen just flashing shapes this. kind of looks like a 70s game console. screen this whole episode frames all of. these prisoners toilings is a kind of. game the prisoners of narquina 5. literally competing against each other.

you play against all the other tables in. this room I play against all the other. rooms please call it what you will. competing for petty food based Rewards. or to avoid pain Cyril Khan playing his. games and if you think about all these. characters are in a kind of squid game. but I guess in Monmouth in this case. it's a Squig game no I'm not post serial. supervisors follow a mouse droid to his. cubicle I'm assuming this is the same. mouse story that nearly tripped him when. he walked to his desk last episode while. cassian's cuffs are magnetically sealed. in place we cut to Cyril's knee bouncing.

nervously as he waits to be interrogated. for filing false inquiries looking for. Cassian Cyril corrects Dedra from five. to six inquiries showing he's not. ashamed of his actions one would think. you'd want to leave ferricks as far. behind as possible one could be wrong. yeah another parallel between Karen and. Andor they both keep returning to. ferricks despite how stupid it is for. them to go go back to it narkina 5 has. floating prison facilities if you count. there are seven of them seven is magic. number seven bases shaped as seven-sided. heptagons seven levels seven rooms seven.

tables seven men per table and later we. find out seven seconds to return to your. cell when the lights start flashing May. remind you of the Saint Ives riddle as I. was going to say knives I met a man with. seven wives each wife had seven sacks. each sack had seven cats each cat had. seven kids kids cats sex and wives how. many were going to say knives and if you. watch Die Hard with vengeance you know. that the answer is of course one only. you are going to say knives similarly. this facility buries you in this number. game so that you lose sight of yourself. now seven is a prime number and has. various different meanings to different.

mythologies and fictions seven deadly. sins the lucky number seven God created. the world in seven days seven gods in. the faith of the seven in Game of. Thrones seven horcruxes for Harry Potter. Dante's seventh circle of hell houses. the violent but here I think seven is. less about symbolism than it is just. about harmonic balance since all groups. are kept in competition with each other. seven groups is a large enough number to. keep each group motivated to avoid being. last but to also feel Pride if they top. the others notice how Aquino only cares. about being in the top three of his. level seven is also an odd number to. prevent mutinous coalitions from forming.

and to encourage fluidity among the. factions with seven descent is overalled. quickly and it's just easier to conform. and with the prisoners keeping each. other honest and getting each other. motivated it all plays out like a. Stamford Prison Experiment now as the. transport arrives you see how each base. is surrounded by whirlpools at the point. these might come from engines that keep. the bases suspended which doesn't make a. lot of sense really my darkest theory. for what they are making in these rooms. are just machine parts and turbines just. to perpetuate the prison itself with no. other Imperial purpose which in some. ways would be even more messed up than. if they're building parts of the Death. Star Miro produces the Imperial starpath.

unit that she recovered from barracks. and she pauses for Wolf you'll Lauren to. catch up my full report highlights the. prevalence of this problem galaxy-wide. I'm listening oh whoa you Lauren always. Charming us since your first Cameo on. the Death Star in the New Hope and he's. so good at multitasking I really hope. he's reading reports from his good buddy. Grant Admiral thrawn because if you. watch Rebels you know those two are. friends Miro reveals they have code. named Lutheran axis. acts the kind of fulcrum upon which the.

current phase of. the word axis also pretty ironic when. you remember that the Axis powers. included the Nazis in World War II and. we learned the purpose of the prisoner's. bare feet in the guards insulated boots. let's go the warden reveals that the. floors are made of tungstoid steel this. is a substance from the 2009 novel fate. of the Jedi Abyss kudos to Diego Luna. and these other actors for their. perfectly synced contortions it looks.

incredibly painful especially for. Cassian whose feet and hand touched the. floor even more points of contact even. more pain and notice how the warden. Smiles just a bit enjoying the sadism of. this before catching himself to release. them Karen tells mirror that he didn't. get a good look at Lutheran remember. back in episode three Cassian held him. at gunpoint and Karn was in a variable. to turn around to see luton's face he. only saw him as a blur when he passed on. the Speeder bike and as Mira leaves. Karin still Smiles a bit to himself. comforted that he made an impression on. her and that someone is finally. investigating the ferric's incident as. Cassian is brought into his work room he.

clocks where the guards hang their boots. and each boot is stamped with an. imperial Crest he also notices how truly. inefficient and easily thrown off. schedule these guards are showing that. it's really the design of the facility. not the Personnel that makes it so. secure I think this will all be useful. next episode when they escape the. prisoners all wear white creamsicle. uniforms in a mostly white facility. recalling the production design of. George Lucas is dystopian sci-fi thx1138. we meet the floor manager Kino Loy. played by Andy Circus who's of course. played supreme leader snoke in the. sequels and he says losing hope your.

mind. so already I just get this guy way more. than anything we learned about snow. Cassian meets his table gembach zal taga. Olaf ham and melshi and malshe should. look familiar Duncan Powell played. runescott melshi in Rogue one he was a. rebel commander in cassian's unit who. helped Cassie and break jyn urso out of. the women's prison on wobani and leads a. rebel faction in the bunker on Scarab. Olaf is played by Christopher Fairbank. who played the thug in the 1989 Batman. who set up this iconic moment what are. you you. I'm Batman ooloff struggles to keep up.

during the sudden Sprint segment. reminding us of the heart pounding speed. test that Eamon Gutt puts the worker. under to make that hinge in Schindler's. List now all the workers are totally in. the dark with theories about what's. really going on they notice the guards. outside are laughing they speculate that. Kino is actually the one in charge I. guess putting them all through this like. he's an Undercover Boss I feel like. there's also a meta joke here like they. recognize Andy circus's snow can have. their own fan theories about snoke being. everything now it is not clear what. they're building yet it does have six. arms that are bent inward obviously this.

would be something the Empire would need. a lot of if it's being mass produced. like this so if it's not turbines to. keep the facility afloat I did speculate. they could be parts of TIE fighter. cockpits like this facility might be. part of an imperial contract with assign. our Fleet systems or or they could be. the hexagonal nodes to build the. framework of the curved Death Star there. are only four episodes left of the. season of Andor it's so good I don't. want it to end and thanks to Star Wars. card Trader I can get all my favorite. Andor moments on my phone so the. Rebellion is always in my pocket look. here's Sim to contemplating the.

downloading the app from the link in. this video's description find me on. there under the username new rockstars. backs to propose a trade Monmouth and. her husband parent drink a chandrillan. drink by dropping squigs that. disintegrate and Fizz toasting with the. term sagrona and sagranatima man is. trying to secure votes against the. emperor's latest overreach with por-d. and remembers Perrin when he's 15 years. old. that's not the academy five round we. later learned that Mon and Perrin were. actually part of an arranged marriage as. teenagers per achangerland custom Perrin.

and take homea trade barbs good luck. feeding the Galaxy I'm off to feed. myself charity begins at home the look. parent gets Tay after that Juan mata's. daughter later interrupts their scheming. you here are the time now. learning to love Corazon you're drinking. squigs no I've lost my taste for it it's. disgusting but that's the point so yeah. it sounds like chandrillans drink these. squigs as a snobby delicacy and later. definitely seems to be suspicious of. take Homer she might be the one who ends. up reporting him and blowing her. mother's money moving operation on the.

bridge Thai guy uses hand signals with. an inmate across the way so a prison. break may already be in the early. development even without casting and. planning it mod chats with Senators Dao. Florida tinar and Gibbon would give in. defending the emperor is just doing his. job to protect everyone someone in this. group says what do you mean ah says what. he means hey luckily says what he means. what obviously commonly said about. supposedly populist politicians in the. real world who actually don't really say. anything and actually don't really mean. anything it's all hot air hey no editor. please don't show an image for that they.

all flipped out when I reference Mark's. a few episodes back gem box shows Cassie. and his cell where they get food from a. tube it's a lot like an umbilical cord. it's super and finalizing isn't it when. it gets taste with their food. top table with flavor cassian's number. is 2180 his sentence was six years which. in Earth years would be 21.90 so if we. assume 10 days on yamos it does line up. now yes it does not really make sense. for Star Wars years and days to line up. with the orbital cycles of Earth around. our sun but you know it just does so get. over it Jim box says everyone's number. was doubled last month as a result of.

the por-d and taga is shocked to learn. no one on the outside knows or cares. about this they speculate that a. Garrison was slaughtered by rebels even. though it was just a robbery that's some. Imperial propaganda at play there and. Olaf cell it looks like there's only 74. days left that tracks with him being one. of the older inmates but it also implies. that hey he has been here for several. years and still never moved up the. ladder to where Kino is despite Kino. having more days left on his sentence. and B last month his number was half of. that because it was doubled remember so. he was so close to release last month. and in this episode when we shipped.

ahead 30 days to the point where Olaf. probably should have been released this. is when he starts to stumble it's just. so heartbreaking something's probably. gonna happen to this guy he probably. would have been free if not for the poor. descendancy and increases that cash. cause or not cause like it wasn't his. decision to do it but obviously his. choice has led to it and he's probably. gonna feel a lot of guilt for it or he. should feel a lot of guilt for it but. not that much guilt you know it's the. Empire's fault Leda eats a snack which. looks a lot like one of those teal. macaroons you know not macaroons and. macarons that grogu snacked on in the. Mandalorian cassians never transitioned. from 2180 to 2150 and we see 30 shifts.

later they don't measure their time in. days they measure it in shifts because. they don't see the outdoors they don't. know if it's day or night or what. Cassian is eating off of a plate. suggesting that his table won a recent. ship because otherwise wouldn't all. their food come in the tubes right all. the prisoners stand naked to get. sanitized echoing the prison shower. montage and Shawshank Redemption and we. nearly see our first Star Wars ass crack. from Andy's circus but the booty never. makes it into frame they retrieve clean. clothes from cubby holes like the farex. workers glove wall in episode one and. even these person guards boot rack it. seems like everyone in this Imperial. machine is kept on a routine like.

children in school Olaf jams the pin and. Kino comes over in a solid Gordon Ramsay. and Hell's Kitchen impression bye. you're just taking a breather come on. guys you got a chance of winning the. ship today. I'm ashamed to waste it. yeah Kino's smile is totally. performative it's a tool that he uses to. reassure and motivate like Lutheran's. final smile everybody's violin is used. as weapon or a mass on ferex Brasso. walks past an imperial Speeder Bike the. kind we saw in corellia and solo a Star.

Wars story he and Bix check in on Marva. who fell trying to open a Floodgate on. Rick's road to see if a tunnel was open. under the hotel so that Rebels could. catch the Imperials by surprise Val and. sento wait for Andor to show up Santa. wants to stand up for a while to stay. and watch but not with Vel as that would. draw too much attention who would you. say you are. maybe I'm a rich girl running away from. her family. it's cold. even for you now I have been thinking. that Bell might be Lutheran's daughter. because they do look pretty similar but. if she would be running away from her.

family in that case she'd be working for. her father's business so I don't know. about that but it seems like she's gonna. be related to someone important maybe. take Homa or maybe one of those other. Senators Bix calls Luth and shop now. Lutheran has a few new items you move. that white Jedi Temple guard mask onto. the central pedestal beside a headpiece. that looks like padme's Naboo Crest. headdress from Attack of the Clones. which you can get a Galaxy's Edge. there's also some chest armor that looks. a lot like Mandalorian best guard sadly. apparently no one wants to buy The. gungan Shield or that Starkiller armor. Clea tells luthin that he is slipping. and he agrees to shut down the pharynx.

frequency unfortunately for Bix on her. end the lights stayed lit so she has no. way of knowing if the other side is even. listening anymore as that overhead shot. of her suggests she is literally siled. another great shop composition showing. some cross dissolving from Belle on the. ferric shuttle to Santa spying on the. Andor home like Anakin and padme's. longing glances across the city from. their windows in Revenge of the set a. prisoner named bemos takes his life by. stepping on the red floor we actually. saw him earlier in the shower and he has. some scarring on the side of his face. this might not be the first time he's. tried to do this the others say that he. railed it which might be their slang in.

the way people in underground metros. will jump in front of trains or touch. the electrified third rail Lutheran. takes his fundor Hall craft to sigra. Milo to meet up with sagarrera's. partisan group a few familiar faces from. Rogue one return benthic two tubes and. then down below if you look closely. that's more off the Gregorian they also. have a few early model x-wings this. would be after the income Corporation. has transitioned away from the z95. models you'll notice these x-wings have. the Astromech Port Forest Whitaker. returns to sagarrera who does not yet. need a breathing mask as he doesn't. broke one he is younger and healthier.

here though still he has the scar across. his face that he has in the rebels era. Lutheran once saw to meet with a rebel. named Anto Krieger to give him air. support as he attacks an imperial power. station on spellhouse but saw is. reluctant to merge their efforts. a separatist my base a new Republican. the Gorman front the partisan Alliance. sectorists human cultists Galaxy. partitionists they're lost separatists. refers to clone wars era Confederacy of. independent systems Gorman Fred those.

are the Freedom Fighters according to. Gormans whom Monmouth has been talking a. lot about all these groups are just. various anti-empire political alliances. all of which have failed Bix gets. arrested and Dedra orders pot to be left. in the room so that Bix can seize. tortured body and the desert can pretend. that this was a mistake she's just a. very skilled interrogator I'm really. worried about Bix we end on cassian's. team toiling away as more and more of. these parts get assembled assuming these. are pieces of the Death Star it's pretty. sad to think that these prisoners are. once again the instruments of their own. destruction but one question I'm left. with assuming Cassian left his credits. above the shower back on the Amos did he.

also leave nimix Manifesto there too we. need to protect that document at all. costs I mean I guess you could argue a. political text in any reader's hand. remains valuable as long as a person. doesn't want to burn the book but damn I. am hoping that Cassian stashed it back. on ferrics for Marva to bring to book. club with the daughters Barracks follow. me on Tick Tock Instagram and Twitter at. eavos following rockstars And subscribe. to new rockstars for more analysis of. everything you love thanks for watching. bye.
