Yavin 4? 'Star Wars' Just Changed the Origin Of One Pivotal Location
Briefly

The 1977 Star Wars movie introduced Yavin 4 as a crucial location for the Rebel Alliance. In Andor Season 2, this moon re-emerges as the base for a disaffected sect of Rebels, shedding new light on its significance. The show portrays Cassian Andor's struggles with a group connected to the slain leader Maya Pei, enriching the character dynamics and expanding the lore of the Rebels. This development not only enhances Yavin 4's history but also sets the stage for future events in the ongoing narrative of Star Wars.
Now, nearly five decades after we got our first look at Yavin, Star Wars canon has reintroduced the earliest appearance of this pivotal moon.
At the end of the second episode of Andor Season 2, we learn that the Rebel sect Cassian has been struggling with is living on the jungle moon of Yavin 4.
Cassian eventually learns that this group is affiliated with Maya Pei, a leader of a specific sect of Rebels, who we learn here has been slain.
In Season 1, Saw mentions various different types of Rebels - he's a Partisan, Kreegyr's group was the Neo-Separatist Coalition, although they never received screen time.
