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: A journey filled with adventure comes to a surprising end.
Trivia
“I have been watching over you and your daughter with great interest” says the Supervisor. This mimics Palpatine’s line to Anakin in The Phantom Menace, albeit with some changes.
This whole meeting the Supervisor mimics The Wizard Of Oz and the whole man behind the curtain thing. This time however it turns out that it was a droid controlling the world all along. An evolved over-intelligent droid is not exactly new for Star Wars, with examples like the Great Heep (from Droids) and the Droid Gotra, which a droid-led group standing up for droid rights. The Droid Gotra has appeared in multiple sources, but was originally created for the cancelled series 1313.
The lift and consoles look a lot like what you see the Empire use, but keep in mind, that the Empire used technology originally created by the Republic, so of course it all looks similar.
The last message that the Supervisor received about the Jedi being traitors, is of course a reference to Order 66 and what was the end of the Republic.
Mrs. Ikk and the frogdog, as well as Bonjj Phalfa, return from the first episode.
The twins Jobo and Jorko say pow-pow as the pirates start to fire. While this is a fun nod to the classic comicbook soundeffect, it would have been even more fitting if they had said pewpew.
The hoverbike of Neel has a really typical Earth bike bell. The hoverbikes also feature tassels on the handle bars.
And we finally get some backstory of Jod, which lines up with him having been found by a Jedi in hiding at a point after Order 66.
And while we expected the X-wings to show up, it is a pleasant surprise that a couple of B-wings are also added to the rescue squadron.
The male pilot we see is a return of Commander Kent from the third episode.
The female pilot is named in de end credits as Cail-tan, who was portrayed by Caitlan Shera Moore.
The Tarsunt pilot is unnamed in the end credits, but was performed by Andrea Detwiler who worked before on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
The B-wings are seen firing by focusing multiple beams into one stronger beam. This was seen before in Rebels 2×06 Wings Of The Master.
As the battle is over a CR90 corvette arrives on At Attin. Unfortunately the episode ends before we find out who was on that ship.
The end credits are stylized using the art of the stories Wim was fond of reading in the first episode, but now there is a slide at the end depicting the kids on their own adventure.
