The Silver Angel may feel very familiar to fans of Star Wars Rebels. That’s because its cockpit, originally designed for Season Six of the original run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, was repurposed to become the cockpit of the Ghost. At the time of Star Wars Rebels’ production, the team felt that the Silver Angel's interior worked really well and would otherwise not get to be seen on a show. Little did they know!

An updated model of Admiral Yularen appears in this episode, showing a little more gray hair as the war progresses, which also brings him closer to his look seen in Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: A New Hope.

The symbol of the Open Circle Fleet appears on the shoulders of the clone officers aboard the Republic ship. Anakin’s flagship in the Season Six episode “The Unknown” features this same icon, as do many Republic ships in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Anakin is stationed above Coruscant, placing this arc before the events of the Bad Batch episodes, where we see Skywalker during the Outer Rim Sieges campaign.

Anakin's sensing of Ahsoka and allowing her ship to pass is an echo of a similar scene in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, in which Darth Vader detects Luke Skywalker on a stolen Imperial shuttle.

Rafa mentions the goal of “fortune and glory,” something another famous Lucasfilm hero (hint: he wears a fedora) has been known to speak of.

The episode gives us the first look at the lush, unspoiled side of Kessel and its rulers, as well as a look at the Akkadese Maelstrom, which appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The Pyke bosses Marg Krim and Fife were originally created for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but first appeared in the novel Dark Disciple and comic-book series Son of Dathomir -- both of which were based on unproduced episodes of the series.
