* [[spoiler: Jacen Syndulla, the son of Kanan and Hera, almost certainly is Force sensitive, and obviously has a deep connection to the rebellion. It’s plausible that he might’ve gone to train with Luke Skywalker. [[ForegoneConclusion Meaning that]] he was either killed by Ben Solo, or became a Knight of Ren himself. And that’s not even considering the fate of his namesake...]]

* Regarding [[spoiler:Kanan's death]], it is less of a victory for the Empire than it seems; Apart from halting the [=TIE=] production, which Thrawn pointed out, a larger implication from the circumstances of [[spoiler:Kanan's death]] is that ''[[DontCreateAMartyr Pryce just made a martyr out of him]]''. Keep in mind, it's not just any rebel leader who made a HeroicSacrifice, but rather [[spoiler:a Jedi]], and Thrawn ''definitely'' cannot afford to have that happen.

** [[spoiler:The Grand Inquisitor, Minister Tua, Mr. Sumar, Sato, and Konstantine]] die in a blazing inferno.

* Everyone on the crew donated parts for Ezra's lightsaber, except for Zeb. Ezra probably got the idea of a blaster-saber from Zeb, whose bo-rifle is also a combination of short-range and long-range weaponry.

* So, why out of all the named Imperials Ezra knows does he choose Admiral Titus when asked to identify himself? Well, all the other officers Ezra knows wouldn't have worked: Grand Admiral Thrawn? He's a high-profile Imperial, so no one's gonna believe that. Every officer would know where he is located, and it's ''not'' on Jalindi. Lieutenant Lyste? Based on Lothal, so he's out (as well as probably imprisoned or stripped of rank). Agent Kallus? [[spoiler;Already a known traitor]]. All the others he knows are dead. So, he's stuck with Brom Titus, who is not as high profile (as far as we know).

** In "In the Name of the Rebellion", Senator Mothma tells Ezra that Lothal has to wait its turn to be liberated. In the [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsHeroesOfMandalore previous episode]], Hera mentions that she had to persuade Mon Mothma to let the ''Ghost'' crew help the Mandalorians by telling her that freeing the influential Alrich Wren from prison would be an important step in forming a local rebel cell there. It makes sense she authorized the mission, since the Mandalorians are quite capable of warfare and could be a valuable asset as proven at the Battle of Atollon once Mandalore is freed (as Ursa states they won't join the main Alliance until then and that the Mandalorian fight against the Empire is [[ItsPersonal personal]] anyway), unlike civilian worlds like Chandrila, Lothal, and so forth.

** Both Kallus and Rex are captains, so it makes sense that they were arguing over who fellow Captain Hera said gets to command the ''Ghost'', rather than one of them stay silent because the other outranks them.

* Interestingly, if you pay attention to the fight between Ahsoka and Darth Vader, you will notice it is a rearrangement of "Duel of the Fates". What is interesting is that the particular key used is a minor key, as opposed to a major key. Minor keys are, as opposed to major keys, more evocative of tragedy or things going awry. Things are not as they should be. And both of them know it.

** It is implied [[spoiler:Mira and Ephraim]] received blaster shots when they died.

* Sure, Thrawn had no idea what the Bendu was capable of, but after witnessing the creature's power with his own eyes, and not even being impressed, ''he's still alive''. Think about that: ''Thrawn knows about the power of the Force''. Given how he's able to make new plans based on what he knows, it means that even mighty supernatural entities might not even be enough to save the Rebels next time. And given [[HatesEveryoneEqually how the Bendu killed Rebels and Imperials alike]] . . .

* Stealth Strike marks the second time Rex has tried to sacrifice himself to cover the escape of the rebels, both times his reasons seemed dubious. The man clearly has some death seeker tendencies.

** Also, it's important to note Thrawn really didn't know the identity of Fulcrum up until "Through Imperial Eyes". In this episode, Thrawn feels Fulcrum wasn't an issue at this point and didn't have to worry about who to trust for a few reasons: 1) Thrawn is concerned about ''sensitive'' information being leaked, and there was nothing sensitive about the use of Infiltrator Droids. 2). ''Anyone'' could've warned the rebels, and he couldn't really care less who does, because the result would end with the rebels either compromised or dead, or having led him closer to finding them, showing how foilproof his use of the droids are.

** Pryce isn't a suspect or was already deduced to not be one earlier, before the arrival of Kallus and Lyste, because Thrawn has already known her for quite some time now and is aware that she could never be a rebel spy, and the interrogation would otherwise just be very short anyway. In addition, Pryce has worked closely with Emperor Palpatine and other Imperials from high command and is also fully aware of the Empire's plans for Lothal, so if they trust her and she's never budged for years, then she's instantly off the suspect list.

** The ArcSymbol is the starbird/phoenix, which we know becomes refined into the Rebel Alliance insignia. In the latter half of Season 1, it turns out Sabine's symbol has a bottom half, which looks like set of wood or bones. As in, a reborn phoenix rising from the ashes, as if to mean the ashes of the Republic are being reborn into the Rebel Alliance. There's also Phoenix Squadron.

** [[spoiler:The Grand Inquisitor and Maketh Tua both]] die in a blazing inferno.
** The moment where [[spoiler: Kanan loses his eyesight, there's smoke from his wounds.]]
** Hera's house gets blown up as well.

* What ultimately did in Kallus at the end of his fight against [[spoiler:Thrawn]] is that [[spoiler:Thrawn's]] finishing move on him was hitting the same leg (and upper portions of it like the hip) that got injured in "The Honorable Ones". Considering this is [[spoiler:Thrawn we're talking about, he probably read up on Kallus' report about how the agent crashed on Bahryn and broke his leg, but was found by a passing trader]].

* In "Zero Hour", it's revealed Attolon doesn't appear on Imperial charts, but it was recorded in "Warhead", so why didn't it appear on Thrawn's Imperial map when he triangulated the trajectories of the Fulcrum transmission and General Dodonna's fleet? Ezra and Chopper sneaked into Thrawn's office in "Through Imperial Eyes", and deleted Attolon from the database. Quite possibly, Thrawn had complete access to the official Imperial star chart, so by deleting Attolon, the planet disappeared from ''all'' Imperial maps. For all Thrawn knew, that planet doesn't exist on Imperial maps, leading credence to the fact that he only heard of such a planet from non-imperial maps.
