The 12 Best Star Wars Easter Eggs in Andor Season 1

What's the difference between an Easter egg and a cameo? In this case, they are one. In "Andor," Forest Whitaker reprises the role he played in "Rogue One," and while it's not necessarily a surprise to see Saw appear, this version of the character is pleasantly unexpected. The guy we meet in "Rogue One" is literally half a man. He hobbles on cybernetic limbs, taking generous hits on an oxygen tank. Worse still, he distrusts everyone and does not hesitate to inflict unwarranted cruelty. He is a sad and broken man. You kind of understand why he decides to meet his end with open arms.

In "Andor", Saw has not yet been crippled by war or rendered paranoid by years of guerrilla assaults on the Empire. It's actually quite refreshing to see what Saw was like before the war shattered him. Now you understand why this guy was such a magnetic figure in the pre-rebellion era. This version of Saw has yet to develop its cynical side either. He is horrified that Luthen could let fellow rebel Anto Kreegyr - and 30 other men - fall into a trap. The cold logic makes sense, but the human cost stuns Saw.
