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: Relationships fray under the pressures of a difficult journey.
Trivia
Augs is of course short for augmentations.
Besides the two humans and the Mon Calamari that you see next to the Hotelier, there are two species created for The Last Jedi (with the characters Grayla Stindy and Gatha Elbaphay) that are still unnamed despite having popped a fair few times in the new series.
Also first created for The Last Jedi and seen next to the hotelier is an unidentified beaked head-tail species. This species was seen as a masseuse in a deleted scene on Canto Bight.
And then there is Bubbles, a Xi’Dec, portrayed by Robin Walsh. The Xi’Dec have a long history in Legends where they first were introduced in 1989 in Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races. They were made canon when Ubbla Mollbro appeared in The Last Jedi.
Talking about obscure aliens, among the guests at the Skull Ridge Mountain Hotel & Spa is an unidentified beaked species. This alien was known as King 19 in the concept art of Jake Lunt Davies for, once again, The Last Jedi.
Pokkit was portrayed by Kelly Macdonald who voiced Merida in the Disney animated movie Brave, but she is not the only Disney princess to become a bounty hunter within the Star Wars galaxy. The same can be said for Ming-Na Wen, who voiced Mulan in the Disney animated classic of the same name.
The trash crabs are newly created for the series, but similar scrap crabs were seen in Choose Your Destiny: A Luke & Leia Adventure.
The Monster Trash Crab was realized by stop-motion by Tippett Studio. Phil Tippett was the visual effects producer and supervisor responsible for many effects including the Dejarik game pieces.
Back in the episode guide of the first episode we were unsure if Snobbius Snee was the Keteerian pirate. With his return in this episode, proclaiming that “Captain Brutus will now pronounce the verdict.”, it can be said for certain that this is the case.
We see a new pirate, the Quarren named Glerb, in typical pirate-attire with golden bands around several of his tentacles and golden piercings in his gills.
Koma is not new, as she was seen in the first episode and named in the end credits, but her name was mentioned for the first time. The subtitles misspell it as Kona. An individual named Kona was mentioned in Star Wars Outlaws.
Dead by airlock is the sci-fi equivalent of walking the plank and seen plenty of times in various sci-fi stories. It is a shame it didn’t turn up in this episode, as Star Wars would have had this and actually walking the plank, as seen in Return of the Jedi.
Sea shanties are a popular aspect of pirate lore, they can even be found as an unlockable in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, so of course the creators of the series had to bring one of them into an episode. That was this episode, about the mysterious pirate Tak Rennod.
