Summary
A new behind-the-scenes book, "The Art of Andor," reveals four major secrets about the Star Wars series' depiction of Coruscant, the galaxy's most important planet. The revelations include: 1) Luthen Rael's ship, the Fondor, was originally designed to transform into a submarine; 2) Dedra Meero's apartment was designed to reflect her cold, obsessive personality with Imperial aesthetics; 3) The show's production team developed an incredibly detailed vertical slice of Coruscant showing the planet's stratified society from the wealthy upper levels to the oppressed lower levels; and 4) Extensive world-building details about how Coruscant functions as a living city, including transportation systems, level stratification, and the visual language of power and poverty.

· 4 pulledThe level of detail in the production design of Andor is staggering, with every corner of Coruscant telling a story about the galaxy's inequality.
Luthen's ship was almost a submarine — a fascinating glimpse into what could have been for the rebel spy's iconic vessel.
Dedra's apartment isn't just a set; it's a character study, reflecting her cold, calculating nature through every design choice.
The vertical stratification of Coruscant is the key to understanding the entire Star Wars galaxy — it's a visual metaphor for the Empire's oppression.
