Some stuff we've already seen but also some new goodies!

 

[Zardnaar]

Looks like a TIE avenger in Andor.

TIE/ad starfighter

The TIE/ad starfighter, simply known as the TIE Advanced, TIE/Ad[4] or T/A,[2] was the culmination of a series of starfighter designs first explored with Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1. To avoid confusion with Lord Vader's personal craft, it was known better by its nickname TIE Avenger...

Interesting in terms of continuity, since in Rebels, it's established as Thrawn's pet project. In the Legends continuity, it wouldn't have been invented yet.

So will Thrawn be in this?

I've been looking forward to more Andor for two years now.

So will Thrawn be in this?

Reeaaaalllly hope NOT. Before watching Ashoka I'd have had a different attitude, but gosh, as good as he was doing voice for Thrawn in Rebels, he was terrible and stiff/clunky in Ahsoka, with the same dialogue writer, dragging scenes down instead of pulling them up. Maybe Tony Gilroy's writing and showrunning could save him, but I'm skeptical.

Also, on a more practical note, Thrawn is kind of a massive distraction from the kind of story that Andor seems to be (very successfully so far) trying to tell, because he's kind of a weird figure relative to the fascism of the Empire, an outsider, not really an Imperial, with a complicated backstory and an eccentric personality. So they'd have to use him sparingly enough that none of that needed to be acknowledged or dealt with. In a much longer show (like the original five seasons), they could definitely have explored outsider opportunists like Thrawn and their relationship to fascism though.

The TIE Defender was Thrawn's pet project. The TIE Avenger was, in the original TIE Fighter game continuity, its precursor, and the first hyperdrive-equipped production-line TIE Fighter, but in Rebels there were variants of those already in use prior to Thrawn being on the scene, as the Inquisitors' personal spacecraft.

I agree, although it would be interesting to see Thrawn on the receiving end of Imperial racism, as he is in the books.

You are correct

Andor Season 2 is Making an Old Star Wars Video Game Ship Canon

 

[Kaodi]

That thief -> soldier -> leader exchange feels like it is foreshadowing Luthen's death. Because, like, the guy is not around by the time on Rogue One, right?
