Robert Emms, Michael Jenn, Anton Lesser, and Jacob James Beswick get together to discuss Andor.
It’s a shame the panel wasn’t filmed. I hope someone in the comments can prove me wrong.

And you know, the biggest irony is that Filoni, the supposed Star Wars super fan took lore from the EU (Ghorman massacre) and did nothing with it (if anything altered it for no reason other than to alter it), while Gilroy, the non-fan, took that lore and did something interesting with it while simultaneously preserving the original EU lore in his show.
Dave Filoni's approach to adapting the EU is to steal names. It's all style without substance.
This is from issue #34. I’ve found them more enjoyable than I thought they would be.
Probably should’ve posted this on Revenge of the 5th lol.

It’s interesting how much more utilitarian their uniforms have become. I wonder if the Empire kept the same guardsman in its employ when the it was founded.
What did you think of the new uniform?
From left to right:
• Ukio — The agriworld that produces the melons Bix buys in a Coruscant market. It was first introduced in The Last Command (1993) as a key planet in Grand Admiral Thrawn’s campaign against the New Republic.
• Belsavis — A remote prison world featured in Star Wars: The Old Republic, referenced in connection with prisoners transferred off Niamos.
• Sith Stalker armor — Originating from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, this dark side armor can be spotted among the artifacts in Luthen’s shop.
• TIE Avenger — First appearing in the highly acclaimed Star Wars: TIE Fighter (1994), this advanced TIE prototype is later echoed by the experimental fighter Cassian steals in the opening arc of Season 2.
• The Rakata — Introduced in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Rakata were the remnants of a once galaxy spanning empire that dominated other species through the dark side of the Force. Luthen gives Cassian a Kuati sky kyber necklace celebrating a rebellion against their rule.
• Ars Dangor — One of Palpatine’s advisers and a member of the Imperial Ruling Council, who attends the Chandrilan embassy dinner hosted by Perrin.
• Sly Moore — Palpatine’s chief of staff, also present at the same Chandrilan embassy dinner.
• Dark Empire Sourcebook — The first source to mention that Mon Mothma has a daughter, identifying her as Lieda.
• Imperial Army trooper — Originating in the 1991 Imperial Sourcebook, these soldiers serve as the Empire’s primary ground forces and are prominently depicted in Andor.
