After watching an emotional finale for a fantastic season (we cannot wait for Andor season 2), you will likely want to either go talk about the show with someone else, or stick around to figure out if there’s any hidden treat. Ever since Marvel (which, just like Lucasfilm, is owned by Disney) started to put little extra scenes after (and in between) the credits of its movies (and then shows), this “should I stay or go?” question became ubiquitous. First, we’re going to answer the big question you’ll have when the credits start rolling, as to whether or not you need to stick around. We will keep the spoilers for the Andor finale past the point that confirms if the finale does or does not have a post-credits scene. Next: Here’s why Andor is the best Star Wars show ever. Now, the spoiler warning — what follows spoils the post-credits scene of the Andor finale. Then, the next shot reveals these droids are on some sort of golden panel, and they’re carrying — as eagle-eyed viewers will remember — the six-armed parts that the prisoners of Narkina 5 were building. Another zoom-out, and we see this is taking place on a massive scale, and in space. Then, we see the panel is one a ring, one of a series of pieces lined up near the Death Star. That’s when you’ll realize that those six-armed parts from Narkina 5 are likely parts of the Death Star’s planet-atomizing laser. In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we saw Andor send the plans for the Imperial base to the rebels, right before the Death Star obliterated Scarif, the planet Andor was on. Now, we know Andor’s actually (unwittingly) helped build the machine that will kill him. It’s a grim and poetic ending of the first season of Andor, to learn that the prisoners on Narkina 5 were being forced to build the most destructive part of the Death Star.
