Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Andor season 2 episodes 10-12
Star Wars galaxy. Setting the stage for the events of Rogue One and the Battle of Scarif, the final episodes of Andor are some of the series' most intense and emotional chapters. Additionally, there are plenty of references and key bits of connective tissue to the iconic movie along the way.
Following the Ghorman Massacre in 2 BBY and the extraction of Mon Mothma in Andor season 2 episodes 7-9, the finale episodes of Andor take place a year later in 1 BBY. This is notably the same year as the events of Rogue One. Keeping that in mind, here are all the biggest and best Easter eggs, references, and connections we found in Andor season 2 episodes 10-12.
