'Andor' Just Snuck An Ancient Villain Into Star Wars Canon

Lucasfilm

The recently concluded Andor shied away from name-dropping and referencing other Star Wars works, even when it led directly to the events of Rogue One. But there was one place Star Wars fans could always expect to see fun little Easter eggs: Luthen’s antique store, the front where he could meet with Mon Mothma and work with Kleya without raising suspicion. And in Andor’s final episodes, one antique brought back an infamous species while referencing a key part of Star Wars’ old canon.

Luthen’s antique shop has featured familiar props ranging from Padmé’s headdress to Indiana Jones’ whip, and Andor Season 2’s finale featured the skull of a Gungan, Jar-Jar Binks’ species introduced in The Phantom Menace. J.J. Abrams wanted to include Jar Jar’s skull in The Force Awakens, but this particular skull is thousands of years old.
