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.
Episode 8 – Who Are You?
Official summary: Imperial manipulation. Ghorman frustration. Cassian and Syril center stage as Palmo erupts.
Trivia
The Imperials have begun moving the barricades from the entrance to the plaza to much closer to their IOC building. As Ghormans are flocking to the plaza Carro Rylanz says the words we have heard before by both Leia in The Empire Strikes Back and, most famously, Admiral Ackbar in Return Of The Jedi: “It’s a trap!”
Returning design motif: The ledges of the hotel, as seen when Cassian walks onto the balcony, shares the same spiral pattern seen in the previous episode in a field that Cassian and Wilmon flew over with their U-wing.
We have seen Capso in previous episodes, and he was identified in the end credits, but he is now also mentioned by name in an actual episode.
The song that the Ghor are singing mentions a Palmo Square. Considering that the official website and, within this episode, Dreena calls where they are Palmo Plaza, this must means that the Palmo Square is somewhere else.
Thela speaks the words uttered twice in Rogue One, spoken first by Cassian and then Jyn: “Rebellions are built on hope.”
Prop reuse: the security gates from last episode where Mon Mothma and Erskin Semaj walk through, are also seen now on Ghorman at the IOC building.
Other new locations on Ghorman mentioned in the episode are Navishare and Leequa, while Jel-Novi is mentioned again.
It is unknown who the old ladies are with Eedy at the end as they are not credited at all. It does not look like one of them is the nosy neighbor from season one either.
Join us later this week for the episode guide of Episode 9!
