Sometimes Star Wars hits you right in the feels — and this time, it’s a subtle moment that fans might have missed on first watch. A new shot from the latest The Mandalorian & Grogu trailer appears to include a quiet but deeply touching tribute to the late Carl Weathers. A Hidden Message in Aurebesh In one scene from the trailer, text can be seen written above a doorway in Aurebesh. When translated, it reads: “Weathers Apollo.” It’s a simple detail, but one loaded with meaning. Carl Weathers famously portrayed Greef Karga in The Mandalorian, becoming one of the show’s most beloved characters across its run. Before joining the Star Wars galaxy, Weathers was also known worldwide for playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise — making the phrase “Weathers Apollo” an especially fitting tribute.

Grakkus the Hutt’s Lightsaber Collection Has a Secret Star Wars Connection
Star Wars fans love a good deep-cut detail, and the team behind Star Wars: Beyond Victory has delivered a gem worthy of a Hutt’s treasure hoard. If you’ve seen Grakkus the Hutt’s new look in Beyond Victory, you probably noticed the string of Lightsaber hilts draped around his neck — a bold fashion statement even by galactic crime lord standards.

A Collector With Taste (and Terrifying Strength) Grakkus has always been the galaxy’s most dangerous collector of Jedi relics. In Beyond Victory, he’s gone full power-trip mode — literally wearing his trophies as jewelry. The design team revealed that each hilt was inspired by fallen Jedi weapons scavenged across the Outer Rim, blending bits and pieces straight from Fallen Order’s in-game models. It’s a subtle crossover that…

In Andor Season 2, Episode 4 (“Ever Been to Ghorman?”), there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that delivers more emotional payload than a Star Destroyer at full burn. Cassian Andor, walking into a corner shop with Bix on Coruscant, picks up a small green tube of tablets. He looks at it, hesitates for a heartbeat, and puts it back. No dialogue. No dramatic music swell. Just a tiny motion… and a whole galaxy of meaning. This isn’t just any product—it’s a tube of “greeny-green Peezos”, as written in Aurebesh on the label. If you’re wondering why that detail matters, you’re about to see why Andor remains one of the most emotionally layered shows in the Star Wars franchise. 🟢 Peezos: More Than a Snack, Less Than a Lightsaber Let’s rewind to Season 1, Episode 7 (“Announcement”). Back on the tropical planet Niamos, Cassian was living his best low-stakes life. A beachside apartment….

For hardcore Star Wars gamers, this isn’t just any blaster—it’s a weapon with serious history.
