Death Star Construction

It’s been a few years since I’ve read the Rogue One prequel novel Catalyst, but if I recall correctly, much of the Death Star was constructed by Geonosians (the bug people from Attack of the Clones), Also, Krennic and Mas Amedda have a really intriguing rivalry in that book concerning the funding and operation management of the Death Star project.

While I doubt we’ll see Mas Amedda or Geonosians in Andor S2, is there a slight chance we get even a small reference to some of these details from Catalyst?

I remember enjoying the book quite a bit because of these world building elements. Do you think Tony Gilroy and Co. read Catalyst while writing for Andor?
