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: Our heroes have never felt further from home.
Trivia
A new creature is mentioned, the tree-sucker. This is most likely the lizard that you see crawling down a tree in the first shot of the episode.
We almost get “A bad feeling about this.” with Neel’s mother who gets interrupted before she can finish the quote. Such an interrupted version has been done before in Rogue One where K-2SO gets shushed by Jyn and Cassian as he is about to say the line.
While not an exact match, there are quite a few design elements to the communication buoy (the dome-shape with motors sticking out and the segment on top of the dome) that are reminiscent of E.T.’s ship, without directly copying the design.
Talking about E.T. and the communication buoy, both this and E.T.’s device were made out of various parts taken from other places. However this looks a bit more like an actual device without the umbrella or a Speak & Spell attached to it.
Another nod to E.T. is how we do not really see the security droids in the forest, just their beams of lights. This is reminiscent of the agents hunting down E.T. in the opening, who we also only see by the beams of their flashlights.
The earlier mentioned slap ball, from the fourth episode, is most likely the game we see Fern and Neel playing.
Brutus’ frigate shares design similarities with the Haven-class medical stations from The Clone Wars and the base of Ranzar Malk from The Mandalorian.
And so we learn the true function of the Barrier it appears as toxic wasteland and therefore not worth visiting.
Ravager One is Glerb, and the Aurebesh in front of Brutus reads ‘Signal Lost’.
The next bit of Aurebesh says exactly what SM-33 says: ‘Incoming Transmission’. To the left of it you can also read ‘Initiate’.
Among the pirates we see a new Weequay character. The end credits gives this character the name Sweeda and mention that Sweeda was portrayed by Sydney Rose Walker.
The Supervisor at last makes an appearance, even if it’s just a voice. The voice you hear is that of Stephen Fry, the English actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, narrator and writer.
Silvo uses the term waifs to describe the kids. The official definition of Waifs reads: a homeless, neglected, or abandoned person, especially a child. Which is not quite true, as they are just lost from their home and trying to find their way back.
In the crowd we now see adult versions of Roona’s species, the Vazooans.
Silvo asks how many such vaults there are and the security droid says “One thousand, one hundred and thirty nine”, or 1139. Making this an almost nod to 1138, the often recurring number within Star Wars media.
