Cool Easter Egg Discovered in STAR WARS: ANDOR Involving The Music
I’m sure you all noticed that the opening themes for Star Wars: Andor are different for each episode. But, what you might not know is that when you put all of those opening Andor themes together in order, you get an awesome and cohesive score!
This was discovered by YouTube user Jamie Kelly, who decided to mix all of the themes together because he "wondered what would happen if he combined them all". The result of which is a cool surprise!
The score for the series was created by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning composer Nicholas Britell, who also worked on Succession, Moonlight, and The Big Short. Britell spoke to the official Star Wars website about creating a "grittier, darker vibe" for the show and crafting something different from something John Williams would do. He talked about the evolution of the music, saying:
"I think, in a way, there’s almost a metaphor there [in the music] for the show. This idea that we are learning, the characters are learning. It’s something a little different. It’s something new and the music is, hopefully, providing a sense of that sense of learning and discovery as well.
In regards to the opening themes, he said:
"All the main titles are different. The first main title sort of sets the stage a bit, but each main title is a variation on that theme. And each time as we go, it’s related sometimes to what we’ve just experienced, and sometimes to what we’re about to experience.
One YouTube user commented: "It’s a wonderful metaphor of the rebellion. Always starting with a voice or catalyst, it grows in number and eventually turns into a symphony.”
Another said: "This was unexpectedly powerful. As if a few voices grow from a murmur to a discordant roar and then into a unified rebellion; both full of anger yet full of hope.”
