If there’s one thing Andor does better than any other Star Wars show, it’s world-building. Nowhere is that more obvious than in Luthen Rael’s gallery, the Coruscant antique shop that’s a front for the rebels, and also serves as one of the most lore-packed locations in the franchise. The Rebellion might be brewing behind the scenes, but up front it’s pure fan service. There are relics and references that span the entire Star Wars timeline, from the Old Republic to the Clone Wars to Jedi: Fallen Order.
Showrunner Tony Gilroy has openly admitted that these details aren’t always in the script. It's the crew, especially the art team, who slyly smuggle them in. He told GamesRadar, “They sneak that s*** in,” and it’s fantastic that they do. Because in Andor, even the background tells a story.
This is your definitive guide to every Easter egg spotted in the gallery, broken down by season. We’ve cataloged it all, from the well-known Jedi Temple Guard mask to newer finds like Amidala’s headpiece and a Gungan warrior skull.
Jedi Temple Guard Mask
Tucked in a display case near the front of Luthen’s artifact room is a white-and-gold helmet identical to those worn by Jedi Temple Guards during the Clone Wars. These faceless sentinels appeared in The Clone Wars animated series and served as elite guardians of the Jedi Knights. It’s a not-so-subtle reminder of the galaxy’s lost spiritual order.
Plo Koon’s Breathing Mask
A Kel-Dor breathing apparatus matching the one worn by Jedi Master Plo Koon in The Clone Wars is tucked in a shadowy corner of the gallery. As one of the most beloved prequel-era Jedi, Plo’s inclusion adds emotional weight (as if Andor needed more of that). Ahsoka Tano’s savior was among the many Jedi lost during Order 66, and seeing his mask now under glass is a haunting reminder of the tragedy.
Sith and Jedi Holocrons
Displayed side by side, a cube-shaped Jedi Holocron and a pyramid-shaped Sith Holocron are nestled high on a shelf. Holocrons were ancient data storage devices used by Force users to pass down teachings. Having both in the same room makes a major statement. Luthen is a collector of balance, legacy, and knowledge that most have forgotten.
Starkiller’s Sith Stalker Armor Helmet
The distinctive helmet worn by Galen Marek (aka Starkiller) in The Force Unleashed games makes a surprise appearance. While this bit of memorabilia is part of Star Wars Legends, it’s a fun nod to one of the most powerful non-canon Force users.
World Between Worlds Tablet
A stone tablet etched with the same geometric patterns seen in Star Wars Rebels’ "World Between Worlds" appears in the background of one Andor scene. This mysterious realm, where the boundaries of time and space blur, suggests that Luthen’s reach, or at least his curiosity, extends far beyond the physical galaxy. This particular Easter egg also potentially lays the groundwork for storylines in Ahsoka season 2.
Indiana Jones’ Whip in Carbonite
Among the carbonite slabs on display, one clearly contains a whip, believed to be Indiana Jones’s iconic bull whip. It’s far from canon, but it’s a super fun Lucasfilm crossover (see also: Club Obi-Wan). Some even speculate it could be an acknowledgement of the fan theory that Indy’s adventures are just Han Solo’s dreams while he’s frozen in carbonite.
Armor Fragments (Jedi & Mandalorian)
Scattered throughout the shop are ancient-looking armor pieces, including a set of Mandalorian plates that echo Rako Hardeen’s disguise and High Republic-style Jedi armor. These fragments tell the story of forgotten warriors and, perhaps, hint at alliances that were broken long ago.
Wookiee and Gungan Gear
The gallery displays both Wookiee armor, resembling designs seen on Kashyyyk, and a Gungan shield. The set of Wookiee battle armor is complete with a bandolier similar to Chewbacca’s. The design here, however, is different and appears more ceremonial than functional. This could be a nod to the Kashyyyk Royal Guard.
Luthen has Naboo tech, too. A Gungan personal energy shield, like the ones used during the Battle of Naboo, sits tucked in the back of the gallery. This iridescent nod to the prequel era serves as a reminder of the galaxy’s political roots and oft-overlooked cultures.
Amidala-Style Headpiece
A replica of Padmé Amidala’s regal, ornate crown from Attack of the Clones. It’s a quiet tribute to the Republic era’s elegance and its tragic fall.
Carbonite Blocks (Miniatures)
Aside from Indy’s whip, several mini carbonite slabs can be spotted. Some fans have speculated that they include nods to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Prometheus, or in-universe bounties. Either way, they're a testament to Luthen’s penchant for the preservation of secrets (and sins).
Darth Maul’s Chest Piece
Spotted in behind-the-scenes footage from season 2, a robotic chest plate identical to Darth Maul’s from Rebels appears tucked on a shelf. This confirms that Luthen’s shop has relics from even the most elusive Force-wielders.
Sith Chalice
An ornate chalice that closely resembles the Dark Side relic seen in Revenge of the Sith, believed to be one of Palpatine’s personal artifacts. It suggests that the influence of the Sith unsurprisingly continues to run deep in the capital’s undercurrents.
Wookiee Shields
Teardrop-shaped Klorri-style shields, used by Wookiees on Kashyyyk, make a reappearance in Andor’s sophomore run. They’re distinct in their wood-and-metal craftsmanship and provide more evidence of Luthen’s collection spanning many species and battlefronts.
Togruta Pot
A piece of pottery with Togruta markings was probably included by the team as a reference to fan-favorite Ahsoka Tano and her people. It’s one of the subtler items in the gallery, but it serves as a lovely inclusion, tying into the larger Ahsoka narrative.
Twi’lek Kalikori
A Twi’lek family heirloom known as a kalikori, prominently featured in Rebels, symbolizes lineage and generational memory. That it ended up in this gallery suggests a stolen past — and perhaps, a hope to reclaim it.
McQuarrie-Inspired Mandalorian Helmet
A helmet styled after Ralph McQuarrie’s early Boba Fett concepts. With its clean lines and minimalist design, it feels more like a museum piece than a battlefield tool, fitting for Luthen’s curated vibe.
Royal Naboo Headdress (Variant)
Similar to Amidala’s headpiece from season 1, this second royal headdress carries different detailing, showing off the cultural richness of Naboo fashion, for which Luthen apparently has a particular fondness.
Decorative Gungan Skull
A ceremonial Gungan skull is slightly grotesque and absolutely fascinating. Whether it’s real or a replica is unknown, but it hints at the cultural significance and possibly sacrificial history of the Jar-Jar Binks’ society.
Rakata Carvings (Possible)
Several stone slabs in the background bear a resemblance to Rakata architecture from Knights of the Old Republic. If true, these would be some of the oldest artifacts in the entire Star Wars canon.
Sankara Stones (Indiana Jones)
Glowing relics from Temple of Doom, another Lucasfilm crossover, sit behind glass. These aren’t canon in the galaxy far, far away, but they’re a great addition to Luthen’s collection.
So, the next time you're watching Andor, keep your eyes peeled. Behind the Kyber crystals and luxury wares lies a treasure trove of hidden history: Mandalorian armor, Jedi relics, Sith sculptures, and ancient galactic artifacts that span millennia. Some nods are overt. Others are tucked so slyly into the background that they require frame-by-frame dissection.
