"Andor" is probably The biggest thing that happened to the "war on the Starvers". It is a show that pushes the franchise forward with a unique vision that brings the galaxy closer, far closer to our reality. And, a franchise aside, it's a masterpiece on the television that uses the sci-fi genre to tell a lot of human story and the cost of standing against tyranny.

It's not just a fantastic self -owned TV show, but one of the best examples of how to connect the franchise points like this. Не е само што „Андор“ ја прикажува големата приказна за раѓањето на бунтот и како помалите клетки се собраа за да го формираат алијансата; She also recounts individual stories as Ereere has received her breathing apparatus, as Mont Motma has become a rebel leader and much more. Instead Explaining unnecessary things in a forced manner (like Jan Solo's surname)"Andor" makes the "War of Starwells" universe feel greater, and the story of the uprising more nuanced and connected.

Case in point, episode 2 of Andor's second and last season It gave us our first glance at the most important location for the rebellion: Javin IV.

Remember Javin IV, right? First introduced in the original "Starwell War", it was the place of the real base of the rebellion. The moon covered with the jungle with its massive pyramid -like structure was a striking and unforgettable location and sharp contrast to the deserts of tattoin. Сепак, колку и да е важна локацијата, се чинеше намерно незабележително: напуштена месечина на кој никој не би обрнувал внимание, правејќи го совршен за бунтовничка база. And yet, as we can see in the 2nd "Andor" season, and in the larger canon, there are more until Javin IV than it fills the eye.

In the first episode of Andor Season 2, Cassian lowered his stolen fighter for Tai in the middle of the jungle, where he aims to hand over the ship to one of Luten's operatives. But the other pilot isn't there; Instead, Cassian caught a fight between the surviving team of Maya Pei's rebel cell, which is trapped in the moon.

It is an important episode that shines on ordinary soldiers fighting for the uprising, those without luxury of light or having Wookieee as a companion. These are troops who are afraid of, who suspect, and who - when they get stuck in a place they don't know, attacked every night with monsters - they become so desperate to save themselves decaying themselves. There is still a long way before the organized (but still disadvantage) Alliance to restore the republic from "Rogue One", and even longer to the heroic, well -lubricated resistance machine we know from the original trilogy "War of Starvests".

As for the moon? It is even difficult to start making a connection between this dark, humid, dangerous place and Javin IV until we see Cassian Andor to leave the moon and the hit of the famous pyramid that is held off the jungle. The episode does not refer to the specifics of the moon and its connection to the rebel alliance, but it has two possibilities. The first option is that the moon has a long way before it becomes beautiful, a rustic place we know from the film, and at some point, rebel cells are starting to arrive and clean the site and take dangerous creatures with great pigeons who want to kill rebels. This would be set up with Tony Gilroy's comments about exploiting the opportunity to tell Javin's untold story.

The alternative is that the Masassi group - led by Jan Dodona - has already established a base in the big temple in Javin IV. When Andor is undressing and leaving Javin IV, we see that he was not so far from the great temple, but it is still far enough that he would not notice if there were people there (people with wallsids or fences, or something that would probably keep tight monsters). After all, what we saw at "Javin IV" earlier in the media "Starwells War" was specifically the area around the Great Temple and Pyramids near it, clearing that may have a rebel base, instead of the jungle itself.

Javin IV has a long history in the "Starwells War" universe, although most are now part of the extended continuity of legends. In addition to "Andor", films and "Starwalks War", we also saw the jungle the moon in the great micro-series of Gendy Tartakovski's "Clone Wars". In it, Anakin struggled with an apprentice to Guoku, Assaia Ventres, at the top of the pyramids, the powerful dark side of the energy of Anakin during the duel.

What we know from the canon is that the great temple had existed for 5,000 years before the Alliance of Rebels made its base. The temple was built by the indigenous peoples of Javin IV's Masas IV, who came to respect the Lord Naga Sadow as God and dedicated the temple in his honor. In turn, Naga Sadow and Sitt went full and enslaved Masassi, eventually driving them to extinction.

In legends, Naga Sadow eventually closed himself in Sit's sarcophagus and became a source of knowledge for the future. Among them was Fredon over, who would continue to launch the great war in Sit, which ravaged the entire galaxy as he fought with the old Republic for nearly 50 years. After the apart, the fallen EDAR Kun arrived in Javin IV and found the Temple of Naga Sadow, and once again enslaved Massas and forced them to build more temples around the moon covered with the jungle. Kuhn eventually led a new Empire to SIT, and even invented the double blade light. His spirit, who was captured on Javin IV for millennia, eventually tried (and failed) to spoil Luke Skywalker when the EDI Academy of Javin IV began.

Is this an unnecessarily complicated history of what is just one of the many locations the uprising used as a base during the Galactic Civil War? Апсолутно. And yet, there is something poetic for the planet that has been spoiled by a millennia and sheltered the inexpressible evil to eventually become the home of the rebellion that will end. To quote George Lucas himself, "it's like poetry. It's rhymes."
