Andor season 2 episode 9 may already be one of the highest-rated Star Wars TV episodes of all time (and the second season is the franchise's highest-rated live-action project on Rotten Tomatoes, too), but viewers are still spotting neat little plot details that elevate the show even further.
One fan has pointed out that a particular blaster serves a similar purpose in the narrative to the catspaw dagger in Game of Thrones, passing from hand to hand in a kind of poetic arc. "Kathleen [Kennedy, Lucasfilm president] needs to pilot an AC130 filled with money to Tony Gilroy's house and beg him and his team to run Star Wars because this is insane," they wrote on Twitter, alongside a compilation of its appearances throughout both seasons of the show. "Somehow they managed to pull off the catspaw dagger from Thrones/HotD."
In season 1 episode 3, during their clash on Ferrix, Cassian takes Syril Karn's blaster, which then travels with him to Aldhani. He later gives it to Ruescott Melshi (a familiar face from Rogue One) after they escape from prison on Narkina 5. Fast forward to season 2, when Vel is doling out weapons to a group of rebels. She asks who a blaster belongs to – and it's none other than Melshi's.
