Andor is hardly the first time Star Wars has used real-world stuff on-screen, but the series has added more to the canon of a galaxy far, far away.
Nearly a week later, the first season finale of Andor is still making the rounds all over the internet. Among praise and criticism, the new Star Wars series is regarded by many as the most grounded work the franchise has ever produced, tackling important topics for our current world such as the rise of fascism, authoritarian regimes, rebellion, and many others.
Instant Noodles Who has never had those for lunch while sitting at their desk at work? We all have urgent things to do sometimes, no judgment! The same goes for the Preox-Morlana security team, who were eating blue instant noodles at their workstations in the first episodes. Unfortunately, now that Pre-Mor works under the Empire's authority, lunch hour is bound to get even shorter.
Sex Work This isn't the first time the oldest profession in the world is implied in Star Wars, but now it's confirmed. Right in the first episode, as Cassian navigates the streets of Morlana One, many sex workers are literally on display in bubble-shaped windows. Not only that, but the place he goes to in search of his long-lost sister is a nightclub that also operates as a brothel, with workers being offered to him and other clients in the first scene.
