Star Wars: Andor finale post-credit scene explained
The Andor finale post-credit scene shows some little Star Wars droids floating around in space constructing the Death Star, and the kicker is they’re using the mysterious creations being produced by Cassian and the other inmates at the Narkina 5 prison facility.
Ever since Cassian was arrested and sent to the Imperial prison, we had wondered what he and the other prisoners were building under the watchful eye of Kino Loy. The inmates were put to work on various production floors and forced to construct what appeared to be some kind of weapon or parts of a larger structure.
Considering when Andor takes place in the Star Wars timeline, it was not outside the realm of possibility that Cassian Andor and the others were unwittingly helping to build the Death Star. Those theories have been proven correct by the post-credit scene.
It’s a short but sweet little scene and shows the process of putting together the Death Star in a rather stunning way. For more from the show, check out our guide to the Andor cast and the Andor season 2 release date. Or, dive deeper into Star Wars lore by learning more about the Jedi and the Sith.
