The Death Star first appeared in the 1977 Star Wars where it played a huge part of the central plot of the story as it has been destroyed by the Rebel Alliance through an assault. A second one was revealed to be constructed in the Return of the Jedi.
The construction of the Death Star being revealed in the post-credits scene of the finale of Star Wars: Andor just connects the series even closer to the whole narrative of Star Wars and while it may not be relevant to Cassian whether he learns about it, the Death Star remains to be an icon in Star Wars.
