Matt Gross at Inverse.com has spoken to Andor writer Tom Bissell, and amongst other things he shared a couple of easter eggs from the second/final season of the Disney+ show that you may have missed.
You’re a Star Wars guy — as is, you know, just about everybody who’s our age. How much of that stuff comes from your own knowledge? Are you dropping Easter eggs in there?
Two Easter eggs that I suggested on the page got in. One was the name of the hospital that Kleya goes to, which is called Lina Soh. She was the Chancellor from the High Republic days. And I had no idea if it was gonna get in. I just stuck it into the script, and then someone went and named it that.
And the other was when Luthen shows Dedra the dagger. It’s a Nautolan bleeder, he calls it. Uh, that was a little treat for my kiddo who, whose favorite Star Wars character is Kit Fisto, who’s the Nautolan, the fish guy with the long tentacles. And so I can’t remember what Tony had it as, but I changed it to Nautolan. And then when he shows her the knife and it had the little Kit Fisto Nautolan guy’s head on it, I was like, “Oh my God, that one got in, too.” So those are the only two Easter eggs that I am aware that I consciously put into the scripts.
Most of them, as I understand, are added by production design. Tony has said there’s a mix of people who know a lot about Star Wars on the show and a mix of people who don’t.
