Does Andor point to more Legends canon joining the Disney Star Wars universe?
Although 2022 was a packed year for the Star Wars franchise on Disney+, Andor stood head and shoulders above the other projects. While The Book of Boba Fett offered empty fan service and Obi-Wan Kenobi stretched out a narrative that would have made a better film, Tony Gilroy’s Rogue One prequel became a surprisingly gritty spy series that used the galaxy far, far away to address current issues of imperialism, xenophobia, the prison-industrial complex, and the rise of fascism.
Mimban Cassian reveals to Luthen Rael that his hesitation about “joining causes” is a result of his experiences on the planet Mimban, where the Imperials pitted several Rebel factions against each other. Mimban was the primary location of Splinters of the Mind’s Eye, the very first Star Wars spin-off book released in 1978; the novel featured the franchise’s first appearance of kyber crystals, which also play an important role in Andor.
“By The Hand” Ever since the “Legends” content was deemed “non-canon,” fans have been clamoring for another appearance by Mara Jade, the Imperial Hand turned Jedi who wins Luke Skywalker’s heart. One of Arvel Skeen’s tattoos reads “By The Hand” in the Star Wars language Aurebesh, in what could be a potential reference to the Emperor’s Hand program of spies, who work directly for Emperor Palpatine.
Leida Mothma One of the most interesting characters in Andor is Leida , the daughter of Mon Mothma who might be placed in an arranged marriage in Season 2. While Andor’s Leida is inclined to join the Empire, she serves as her mother’s ally in the New Republic in Dark Forces .
