Chapter 21 - S3-E5
Trivia: At the end of the episode the Mandalorians are given the land from the lava flats to Bulloch Canyon. Bulloch Canyon is named for Jeremy Bulloch, the actor who played Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Chapter 11: The Heiress - S2-E3
Trivia: This episode is directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. Mando's rapid descent onto the planet is a near shot-for-shot recreation of the capsule's return to Earth in Apollo 13, directed by her father, Ron Howard.
Trivia: The series is set in between the events of the original "Star Wars" trilogy and the sequel trilogy. More specifically, it is set about five years after the conclusion of "Return of the Jedi," and around twenty-five years before the events of "The Force Awakens."
Trivia: Gina Carano was fired after season two for repeatedly making inflammatory posts on Twitter, including spreading disinformation about the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and wearing masks in public, as well as comparing political discourse in America to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Prior to her firing, she was set to have a larger role in the shelved spin-off series "Rangers of the New Republic." Carano ended up filing a wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney in 2024.
Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6
Trivia: In the credits roll, Burg sports a grey haired goatee, not at all like his design in the actual episode but very much like the look of the actor, Clancy Brown.
Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1
Trivia: A character very briefly mentions a holiday called "Life Day" in the pilot episode in a throwaway line. This is a rather peculiar callback to the infamously bad "Star Wars Holiday Special," which featured a fictional Wookie holiday called "Life Day."
Answer: In (non-canon) Legends, Thrawn was the central character of a trilogy of novels by Timothy Zahn. He was a Chiss officer in the Imperial Navy, who rose to the rank of grand admiral despite being non-human. Thrawn was brought into canon in the Star Wars Rebels series, where he commanded the Empire's Seventh Fleet and led the occupation of Lothal, which was opposed by the series' protagonists including Ahsoka Tano. In the final episode of Rebels, the Jedi and Rebel Ezra Bridger commands Purrgil space whales to drag Thrawn's Star Destroyer into hyperspace, jumping to an unknown location with himself and Thrawn on board. The final scene of the series shows Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren leaving Lothal to search for Bridger, and presumably Thrawn.
