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: Ahsoka and General Hera Syndulla travel to New Republic shipyards and make an unexpected discovery.
Trivia
The opening planet that Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are on is Seatos, which is in the Denab System. While Seatos is new, the Denab System has been mentioned before in The Essential Atlas. There it was a reference to place the planet Denab, mentioned in the A New Hope NPR radio adaptation and the game Rebellion, on the map.
Like with the ancient temple on Arcana from the previous episode, the designers seems to have tapped into the same inspirational spirit as the designers did for Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. While different in origin, the look and feel of these places versus the meditation points that Cal Kestis uses, are similar. In fact, concept art of the temple on Arcana originally showed Zeffo markings from the first game.
Later in the episode it was mentioned that “An ancient people from a different galaxy” are responsible for building the temple. There always have been dwarf galaxies to the main one where everything from Star Wars takes place in. In fact, the Rishi Maze from Attack Of The Clones is one of these dwarf galaxies. The Essential Atlas mentions that there are seven of them. They are named after the letters of the Aurebesh alphabet and include:
Companion Aurek (the Rishi Maze)
Companion Besh (where in Legends the Nagai and Tof came from in the classic Marvel Star Wars comics)
Companion Cresh, Companion Dorn, Companion Esk, Companion Forn and Companion Grek are so far unknowns, but considering it is the furthest one, it would make sense if Companion Grek was the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy from Legends. We also like to point that an unmade story of The Clone Wars would have featured the Yuuzhan Vong and that Filoni likes to bring his original ideas back.
Peridea is mentioned as a planet of myth told to Jedi Younglings. If the End Credits are an indication, the planet is very much real and the place where they find Thrawn.
A Loth-cat popping up from the high grass is an image often seen in Rebels.
Ahsoka sensing through the Force what has happened during the fight between Sabine and Shin is also very reminiscent of the Force Echoes from Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor. In facts this is also true for how Ahsoka managed to sense the right combination at the temple from the previous episode.
Lothal always had a sea, as it was where the dome wreckage had to fall in the final episode of Rebels, this time we see it a lot more clearly from a new angle.
The ship that Elsbeth flies in is a new and unidentified type.
The New Republic Shipyard is on Corellia, well known to us but not seen in live-action since, or even before, Solo.
Hera has flown the Phantom II to Corellia, and of course we see Chopper sitting in his usual spot. This is not Chopper’s first live-action appearance as he was also seen on Yavin Four in Rogue One.
Myn Weaver is played by Peter Jacobson, who had a recurring role in the series House M.D., and while he is new, his droids are all recurring performance and voice artists from other Star Wars series. We have Shelby Young (voice of Leia and Kneesaa in Forces of Destiny & Captain Bragg in The Bad Batch) and Chris Bartlett (basically every protocol droid ever in live-action series) as C1-D1. Daniel Bohman, playing the other protocol droid, was a protocol droid before in The Mandalorian.
Ignoring the Bantha in the room that Sabine never has shown Force sensitivity before, the fact that Sabine was trained by Ahsoka, and it failed, does explain Ahsoka refusing to train Grogu, as asked for by Din Djarin in The Mandalorian.
The 2-1B droid removes a dressing not unlike we would have seen one do in The Empire Strikes Back. In a deleted scene we had one pulling such a dressing from Luke’s face.
The hyperdrive core that Hera points out belonged to a SSD, or a Super Star Destroyer like the Executor. When she says this, the background shows the OI-CT walker that was also seen in Solo.
Type of droids in the shipyard organization are: CCLs (completely new), IW-37s (pincer loader droid first seen in Revenge of The Sith) and HV-7s (originally from the RPG sourcebook Legacy Era Campaign Guide).
Paul Darnell, who is the Performance Artist for Marrok, was earlier seen as the stunt double for Cobb Vanth and appeared as a Night Wind Assassin in The Book of Boba Fett.
Sabine’s armor is the same color scheme as last seen in Rebel’s epilogue. The lines on the chest plate are more tighter/streamlined however.
The LAAT/le patrol gunship return (animated in The Clone Wars and Rebels, with the live-action version seen already in The Mandalorian). Familiar species in this scene include a Gran worker and Sullustan New Republic officer.
The scene of Sabine cutting her hair is an exact mirror of Kanan doing the same before facing his fate in Rebels.
While Ahsoka is not wearing her white cloak outfit with staff, the rest of the scene of Sabine walking to the mural, touching it and then leaving with Ahsoka, is pretty much an exact live-action recreation of the scene seen in the epilogue of the last episode of Rebels. Which is a nice reverse of how Filoni recreated parts of Revenge of The Sith in animation for The Bad Batch.
When the transport shuttle arrives above Seatos we see a huge ring in orbit above the planet. This is the earlier mentioned Eye of Sion and its design is like those hyperspace rings from the Prequels. In Attack Of The Clones we see that the Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor (or Jedi starfighter) had to use these to jump into hyperspace. It would make sense that to get to a distant galaxy, one would need something of a boost as well to get there.
