Lego Star Wars Death Star Set Confirms Special Andor Easter Egg

by

As a die-hard film enthusiast and Lego aficionado, I’ve got to say that the newly unveiled LEGO Star Wars Death Star has left me feeling quite divided. While the special Easter egg inspired by “Andor” is certainly something that has me buzzing with excitement, the overall reception from fellow fans seems rather tepid.

This latest addition to the Lego universe, slated for release on October 4, comes with a hefty price tag of $1,000, making it the most expensive LEGO set ever produced. However, what sets this model apart is its cross-sectional design – focusing on just a piece of the planet-destroying ship rather than the entire vessel. Despite the unique perspective, some fans find the cost prohibitive for such an incomplete representation of the iconic Imperial battle station.

This Death Star model showcases numerous rooms distributed across the station, mirroring notable scenes from various Star Wars stories. It features Luke and Vader’s climactic duel from “Episode VI” and the waste compartment from “Episode IV”. Interestingly, a hidden tribute to a more contemporary Star Wars production has caught fans’ attention, alluding to one of the franchise’s most critically acclaimed productions.

As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about the latest LEGO Death Star set! This new addition hides a delightful Easter egg that takes me back to the Narkin 5 arc from Disney+’s Andor series. While exploring the intricate design of this magnificent model, I stumbled upon a hidden chamber featuring components reminiscent of the characters Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) and Kino Loy (portrayed by Andy Serkis). It’s details like these that make collecting LEGO Star Wars sets an even more immersive experience for us fans!

The Narkina 5 Prison storyline (Episodes 8 through 10 of the first season of Andor) is widely regarded as the finest in the popular streaming series. This makes its inclusion in the new LEGO Death Star set noteworthy, as it has earned a place among other memorable Death Star-related scenes from the franchise.

In the Narkina 5 storyline, Andor and his cellmates, freshly acquainted, devoted their time to constructing imperial regulations, unaware of the specific purposes behind these colossal mechanical components they were working on.

Only at the end of Season 1 did we learn that the imprisoned Narkina 5 crew members had been constructing components for the Death Star, a weapon that, as seen in Rogue One, ultimately led to Andor’s demise while attempting to destroy it.

Watch Seasons 1 and 2 of the series “Andor” on Disney+. The show, penned by Tony Gilroy who wrote “Bourne Legacy”, delves into the heart-wrenching past of Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna in “Rogue One”. It follows his transformation from a burgeoning outlaw to the brave resistance figure fans are familiar with from “Rogue One”.

Pre-orders are now being accepted for the forthcoming LEGO Death Star set, scheduled to hit shelves on October 4th. This impressive collection boasts an astounding 9,023 pieces and 38 minifigures, all priced at $999.99. You can secure your set through their official website.

Andor’s Legacy Addressed: Will There Be More?

Following the finish of Season 2 for the show Andor, fans are eagerly waiting to discover if this renowned streaming series will leave any impact in the distant galaxy we know.

Although it appears unlikely that there will be a follow-up to Diego Luna’s character Cassian Andor’s story given his death at the end of Season 2, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the Star Wars universe won’t feature any more elements related to the series “Andor” in the future.

As a devoted fan, I’ve been thrilled to see a few LEGO sets inspired by the captivating universe of Andor, now available under the LEGO Star Wars line (delve deeper into the forthcoming Star Wars LEGO sets here). With anticipation building, I eagerly look forward to seeing even more of these exciting sets unveiled in the years ahead.

Andor, being a popular series, seems primed for LEGO to adapt and present its distinctive take on some of the show’s memorable scenes. It might be interesting to create sets focusing on key moments, such as a Narkina 5 prison scene or one depicting the Ghorman Massacre from season 2.

The possibilities for creating LEGO sets based on the show “Andor” seem limitless, given its growing recognition as one of the finest Star Wars series in history.
