ANDOR Full Series Breakdown - Every Star Wars Easter Egg You Missed

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5jZz8-4DQ - a 6 hour and 10 minute video from the ScreenCrush youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘ScreenCrush breaks down the entire series of Andor, in an epic supercut that is 3 years in the making. Every Star Wars reference to the Original Trilogy, Clone Wars, Prequels, Sequels and Star Wars Rebels, all in one place.’
 

Andor Season 2 Is A Star Wars Manifesto From 1981

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUv7j5Gj3Us - a 27 minute ‘Andor: Season 2 Review’ from the Spaceman youtube channel.
 

The blurb: 'Andor Season 2 tells the story of a Rebellion: growing, overwhelmed, and entirely too prescient. It is a beautiful love letter to our own history, to the era we find ourselves in now, and to the people who choose to sacrifice their lives so that we may live on. From incredible color theory and amazing setpieces, to astounding monologues and gorgeous cinematography – Andor is the greatest Star Wars of the 21st Century.

Please remember, this is just one lone man’s opinion. I hope you enjoy.’

 
^ Well worth a watch of anyone’s time. Insightful, thoughtful and entertaining - as usual… from Spaceman.

For me, Andor season 2 once again had some of the best acting performances in television this year (and in recent times) - yet the cast got a total of ONE Emmy nomination (for ‘Guest Actor’ - Forest Whittaker; congratulations to him). No nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, or Best Supporting Actress.

The near-zero acting nominations is bizarre. The series had many strengths, but acting was its second (after writing)

www.youtube.com/@The-Upstairs-Lounge/videos | x.com/_upstairslounge | tiktok.com/@the.upstairs.lounge
 

The blurb: 'You watched Andor. You thought you got it. But couldn’t shake the feeling you missed things, we all did. I checked out all the other analysis out there and I was disappointed.

This human-written channel is dedicated to peeling back every layer of Andor. Scene by scene, moment by moment, to uncover what Tony Gilroy and his team really built. This isn’t a recap channel. It’s not about easter eggs. It’s about subtext, structure, power, politics, silence, rhythm, rebellion, and why every line matters.

The Upstairs Lounge is a place most people don’t even know exists, and to most of them, it’s closed.

But you’re in. Welcome.’

Diego Luna is the first / only actor to receive a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in a Star Wars project since Sir Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars 🏆. Luna has received a Golden Globe nomination for Season 1 of Andor… which makes him the most nominated Star Wars actor of all time.
