* LaResistance: Loi'e and Jon's rebel cell is focused on tracking imperial activity and scrapping technology to escape the occupied planet. Its focus on espionage and cabaret culture are also highly reminiscent of the French Resistance of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. To be more precise, La Cachette, despite being a French studio, adapted to the American perception of the French Resistance, since associating it with cabarets isn't common in the French imagination. French people tend to think to the Résistants either like an exterior military force like De Gaulle's companions in England or Leclerc's soldiers in Chad and North Africa, or either like rural inhabitants sabotaging infrastructures, especially the trains. Both of those French archetypical perceptions are totally absent from the short.

One of them even gets some focus as a younger guy who's never been to the show before, and is suitably stunned by the glamorous theater and the performance. However, once she’s outed as a Rebel spy, the troopers all put their helmets back on, returning to cold infantry and hiding any trace of humanizing qualities as they attack her.
