Omega and Crosshair crashland on the planet Lau, a new location in Star Wars.

A Star Commuter 2000 can be seen flying above the town on Lau, bringing travelers to and from the small world.

Omega plays a game of cards not seen before in Star Wars: "balaans." The deck consists of five red and five blue number cards, as well as face cards consisting of two "destroy," two "deflect," two "bluff," two "steal," and four "block" cards; the game includes the near-unbeatable hand called Three Eastern Stars.

A complete rule set was designed for the card game. The production team playtested a few rounds and confirm it's quite an addictive game!

A full round of the game between Omega and Lt. Mann was shot but cut down to the main moves in an effort to keep the pace of the episode moving.

Among the many creatures set free at the cargo docks are a group nunas (known colloquially as "swamp turkeys") from Naboo, the speedy bi-pedal void striders from Abafar, and colorful birds native to Lau.

Captain Mann was played by English actor Harry Lloyd, known from the BBC's Robin Hood series and Game of Thrones.

The family reunion takes place on the same Ryloth Moon where Omega first meets Hera Syndulla in Season 1.
