Disney's defunct galactic hotel has a surprising legacy in the best Star Wars TV show

Among the new images released Andor the second season is the one that gives Disney's now-defunct Star Wars: Galactic Star Cruiser immersive resort, an incredibly exciting and powerful legacy. Andor Season 2, launching in April 2025, will continue the story of its titular character, Cassian Andor, as he takes part in the Rebel Alliance's fight against the Galactic Empire, leading directly into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In addition to Cassian, there are other important characters including Luthen Rael, Saw Gerrera and Mon Mothma.

Mon Mothma especially has an important role in this story, and her connection to her home world of Chandrila actually ties her to the world of Disney. Galactic Star Cruiser itself. The story of this immersive resort reveals that the titular star cruiser, the Halcyonis owned by the Chandrila Star Line, which is, of course, based on Mon Mothma's homeworld of the same name. Mon Mothma is familiar enough with Chandrila Star Line and the Halcyon to send Han Solo and Leia Organa on their honeymoon shortly after the Battle of Endor. Now, Andor season 2 is increasing the connection between the two.

Mon Mothma's office is inspired by the interior design of the Galactic Starcruiser

White and gold are registered trademarks of Chandrila

A new image of Andor season 2 shows Mon Mothma looking at something on her datapad inside her office, which is deeply influenced by the interior design of the Halcyon itself. White accented with gold could be seen throughout the interior of the Galactic Star Cruisermainly in places like his merchandise store, the Chandrila Collection, and dining room, the Crown of Corellia. This aesthetic was established for the Halcyon before the release of Andor season 1proving its direct influence Andor 2nd season - and not vice versa.

In fact, this is not the first time that the story of Mon Mothma in Andor was influenced by Galactic Star Cruiser. In Andor Season 1, during one of the night parties organized at Mon Mothma's house on Coruscant, there was a certain type of glass used to serve drinks that was also used by the “chemical” bartenders of the Halcyon. This cup can even be purchased at merchandise stores and more on Star Cruiser before this episode aired. Now, even after Star Cruiserclosure, still continues to influence Star Wars TV shows like Andor.

The Starcruiser forever impacted the appearance and traditions of Chandrila

As the first, it will always be the most influential

It is clear now that the Galactic Star Cruiserdespite being closed, it will always have this legacy of impacting the way things look in Chandrilan. This is because not much was known about Chandrila and her appearance Star Wars canon until Galactic Star Cruiser openand while it may no longer be open, it was significant enough that things still have to remain constant between the Halcyon and other things related to Chandrilan. This means that, in Andor and others Star Wars properties, white and gold will always be the colors of Chandrilan interior design.

Andor season 2 premieres on April 22, 2025, on Disney+.
