Warning: This story contains spoilers for all ofAndorseason one, includingfinaleRix Road.
For most of its first season,Andordidnt feel like a Disney+ show.
However, this post-credits scene maintainsAndors level of restraint and excellence.
This isntDeep-fake Luke Skywalkeremerging from the shadows to invite Cassian Andor to join the Rebel Alliance, Nick Furystyle.
The camera pulls back to reveal that these contraptions are brackets holding together what look like golden solar panels.
We pull back farther and farther, and the scale of what were dealing with becomes clear.
Cassian was building the Death Star.
There are subtle hints throughout the season that the Death Star has been under construction.
The timeline of the Death Stars conclusion tracks.
Conditions on Narkina 6 or whatever must have been even worse if they got it built that quickly!
Thats notAndors problem, though.
Take it up withReturn of the Jedi.)
This is not their story.
We sawRogue One, we sawA New Hope.
We know whats coming.
One ofAndors strengths is how it makes theStar Warsgalaxy feel vast and lived-in without relying on reference.
Cassian has no idea what he was building.
Andorcould have gotten away with never revealing what the Narkina 5 prisoners were building.
Theres a certain allure to the mystery.
Cassian isnt any more or less changed by the experience for knowing or not knowing what he was building.
