BEWARE SPOILERS: Just like with the previous Disney Plus series, we at Fantha Tracks will be offering our own episode guide for your entertainment! Here we will post every reference, Easter egg, everything named and unnamed per episode and some fun trivia in-between that we have spotted.
Official summary: In a dense jungle, the Jedi are put to the test when they confront a rising darkness.
Trivia
The title of this episode is Night, which mirrors the title of the previous episode ‘Day’. Which makes Episode 3 – Destiny the only one not yet with a mirror title.
Besides the main cast we have:
* A male Jedi played by Lewis Young. He is seen activating a green lightsaber in the previous episode. In this episode he was the corpse that Osha sees as she picked herself up from the ground at the very beginning.
* The Kel Dor Jedi Ithia Paan. Briefly glimpsed to be fighting with a green lightsaber and stabbed in the chest from behind. Subtitle lists the Kel Dor as Jedi 1.
* A female Jedi played by Celina Nessa. She has a blue lightsaber and the subtitle lists her as Jedi 2 during her death.
* As their lightsabers malfunction we see the male Jedi played by Ben Essex. He wields a yellow lightsaber.
* The last one is a male with a yellow lightsaber who gets impaled by being Force pulled into the blade, as it sticks out of the female Jedi. No actor is listed at all for him.
The various lightsabers sputter and short out after striking the metal of the Stranger’s armor. Ever since Legends, and brought back into canon with the novel A New Dawn, there was but one such a metal that could do this: cortosis.
Yord gets a leg wound very much like Obi-Wan received from Dooku in Attack Of The Clones.
The audio description from Disney Plus identifies the smaller lightsaber that Jecki gets stabbed with as a lightdagger. This a less common name for what we know better as a Shoto lightsaber.
Qimir is revealed as the Stranger/Master, he was often called the Stranger in subtitles and the End Credits, but as Master by Mae.
It is interesting to note that Qimir thinks that what he is has no a name, but that Jedi would call him Sith. Does this imply that he is not a Sith belonging to the line of Darth Bane’s Rule of Two? And that the Jedi would only think that he is a Sith due to the red lightsaber and using the Dark Side of the Force?
Another interesting aspect to note with him are the blacked out spots on his hand and arm. They do not seem to be a tattoo or a natural discoloring. Could be the Dark Side tainting him? Or perhaps it’s a burn mark from fire?
And while it seems that Qimir and Yord share some history, and that Sol has a familiarity with Qimir as well, it means nothing as they both interacted with Qimir in the second episode of the series on Olega.
“They’ve turned you against me” says Mae to Osha. This echoes Revenge of the Sith and Obi-Wan and Anakin’s discussion on Mustafar.
As the sisters talk, the background ambience sounds at times very familiar to that of Endor in Return of the Jedi. Maybe they have used the same soundeffects.
Locals play a wooden version of Dejarik, While the game was first seen in A New Hope, a wooden version can be glimpsed as well in Rogue One.
Twice in the episode a part of Kylo Ren’s theme can be heard. The first is at the start, when Osha finds Pip lying on the forest floor. The second time is when Qimir finds Osha and starts to heal her wound. This action in itself also bringing to mind Rey using the Force to heal in The Rise Of Skywalker and Grogu in The Mandalorian.
