The nature of planets in Star Wars allows for beautiful double sunsets on Tatooine and other amazing occurrences in the sky; one event that’s sure to appear in season one of Andor is the Eye of Aldhani. What does the Eye of Aldhani look like and how does it affect Andor’s plot? Here’s everything you need to know on what the Eye of Aldhani is in Andor.
Star Wars Andor – What Is the Eye of Aldhani? Explained
The Eye of Aldhani, according to Lieutenant Gorn, is like “…50 meteor showers all at once, but like a curtain being pulled across the sky until the Eye, the window to the galaxy, forms over the horizon.” This breathtaking event happens every three years and normally brings most of the population to a valley near the Imperial garrison. The Empire relocated Aldhani citizens to urban areas so many are unable to see the Eye from their traditional spot.
The plan is for Andor’s team to use the Eye as a cover for their escape with the payroll records they steal. Luthen threatening to call off the mission if Vel doesn’t accept Andor onto his team in episode 4 makes sense now; since this is the only day every three years they have cover, there’s no chance of rescheduling the mission if anything goes wrong.
That’s everything we have on what the Eye of Aldhani looks like in Andor. Check out some of our other Cassian Andor content like our official Rogue One review, the meaning of Arvel Skeen’s tattoos, and what meds did Lieutenant Meero take in Andor.
