BEWARE SPOILERS: Just like with the previous Disney Plus series, Fantha Tracks will be offering our own episode guide for your entertainment! Here we will post every reference, Easter egg, everything named and unnamed per episode and some fun trivia in-between that we have spotted.
Episode 12: Rix Road
Official summary: Cassian returns home to Ferrix, a tinderbox that is experiencing a spark of rebellion.
Trivia
The Lambda-class shuttle parks next to a Zeta-class Heavy Cargo Shuttle. SW-0608 was the Zeta-class shuttle which Cassian, Jyn and the rest of Rogue One used to infiltrate Scarif.
As a high-ranking official in the ISB, Dedra is getting Death T
roopers as protection, just like Krennic had.
The alien seen in the bar on Ferrix is an as of yet unnamed species that was first seen in Maz’s castle on Takodana in The Force Awakens.
The marriage problems between Perrin and Mon Mothma continue as she notices him still gambling. She suggests he should go to Canto Bight, the casino luxury world first seen in The Last Jedi.
The funerary stone with Clem’s name carved into it uses symbols seen throughout Ferrix in all the episodes. While it looks familiar to other such symbols seen in the saga, this is a new design by graphic designer Barry Gingell. Ender (Aurekfonts) has a very interesting breakdown of this font, nicknamed Barribesh.
Talking about Barry Gingell, it turns out that it was him who was seen as Anto Kreegyr’s hologram from the previous episode.
Classic Aurebesh can also be seen on the manifesto of Nemik that Cassian is reading. The text seen on the device is the same as the voice-over.
The Daughters of Ferrix are described by the Imperials as just a social club, while we all realize how wrong they are in assuming that.
The speeder that the Imperials use looks a lot like the speeder that was included in LEGO set 75266 Sith Troopers Battle Pack.
Again, an Aki-Aki rides the shuttle into Ferrix.
The comms backpacks of the Imperials are different, but obviously inspired by the ones the Sandtroopers used on Tatooine.
When Wilmon Paak joins the procession you see a logo above a door. While it is too thin and most likely a coincidence and not a reference, the coloring in yellow does reminds this article writer of the LEGO minifigures hand logo as seen in LEGO The Freemaker Adventures series logo.
Maarva’s funerary stone has a bit more text with her birth (7895.330.9) and death (7972.234.2) dates in C.R.C. dating. This dating system was only used in the reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy’s Most Notorious, by Pablo Hidalgo before appearing in this episode. Using Ender’s decoding, her birth year is 7895 C.R.C., and with 7977 C.R.C. being used for A New Hope (matching also with 1977), 7895 corresponds to 82 BBY, the same year that Sheev Palpatine was born. Maarva’s year of death is 7972 C.R.C. or 5 BBY, as we knew the series to take place in. Unfortunately the other numbers, most likely months and days, have not yet been cracked further.
In the procession you can spot a Kubaz and an unknown red-skinned alien with tendrils.
Tenek (played by Gavin Spokes) is a new character on Ferrix.
This is the first time that we hear Maarva Andor’s middle name of Carassi.
The ship they use to escape Ferrix with is the same one used by Cassian in Episode 1, a Breon Dayvan.
Gangi Moon with Farside Sea is a newly mentioned location.
The end credits names the wife and son of Davo Sculdun as Runai (played by Rosalind Halstead) and Stekan (Finley Glasgow). Andor is the debut for Finley Glasgow as an actor.
Stay tuned for a scene after the end credits!
That’s all for our Guide to Andor. Join us soon for our The Mandalorian season three guide in 2023.
