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.
Chapter 5 – Inquisition
Official summary: Captain Lawson faces a sobering new reality.
Trivia
As the show opens with the star destroyer gliding over the city, we can once again spot a couple Aurebesh billboards: “Sweet deals” (letters are horizontally flipped) and “AY”. Weirdly enough the latter has the A correctly, but the Y flipped horizontally.
And the Aurebesh seen at the stadium’s entrance reads, unimaginatively: Janix Stadium.
The shuttle carrying Lieutenant Blake is a Rho-class transport shuttle first seen in The Clone Wars, starting with episode 5×12 “Missing in Action”. The shuttle made most of its appearances however in The Bad Batch.
And considering the series takes place in the early days of the Empire and shortly after Revenge Of The Sith, we see the TK stormtroopers marching into the streets.
Lieutenant Blake is voiced by Alastair Murden in his first Star Wars role.
The Maul wanted poster has an extra line in Aurebesh reading “Fugitive at large”.
A nice bit of detail: there are vans on the ceiling blowing fresh air into the main area of the police station.
One of the two Mandalorian who voices his misgivings to Rook Kast is called Kebris and is voiced by Ben Diskin, who voiced multiple characters before within Star Wars. He is also the very first voice you hear in the episode, the PA Voice announcing that off-world travel has been temporarily been halted by the Empire. The other is not named in the end credits, but is most likely voiced by either Matthew Wood or Robin Atkin Downes.
Talking about voices, while we have seen Marrok before in Ahsoka and Tales Of The Empire, this is the first time we hear him talk. The voice was done by AJ LoCascio who previously voiced Han Solo in Forces Of Destiny and the young Cad Bane (when he was still called Colby) in Tales Of The Underworld.
Besides the usual alien species we see in these animated series, a Lacertilo can also be seen. They make their animation debut, having previously be seen in live-action with The Rise Of Skywalker and Andor.
More Aurebesh signs seen in the street after Two-Boots escorts Rylee out of the police station: “Best Blurrger in town”, “…ety First” and “See the Galaxy”.
The incoming comlink sound that you hear when Rylee’s mother calls is the same sound as the incoming call sound from Revenge Of The Sith when Order 66 calls came in. This could best be heard when Cody got his call on Utapau.
And another new voice to Star Wars is that of Tamlyn Tomita as Brea Lawson.
We see Marrok investigating the site of the lightsaber duel from last episode, and while the sound effects could be added for viewer benefit, it could also mean that Marrok hears them in a way similar to how the Force Echoes worked for Cal Kestis in Jedi: Fallen Order.
Maul feels pain as Icarus works on repairing the cybernetic leg that got damaged in the previous episode. This is a callback to Luke who felt the pricks in his cybernetic hand in The Empire Strikes Back and in Return of the Jedi when he got shot in that same hand.
Join us in a couple of days for the episode guide of Chapter 6 – Night Of The Hunted
