* TheAlliance: Mon Mothma formally kickstarts the Rebel Alliance with a rallying cry to oppose the Empire. She's answered by a fleet of ships arriving at Dantooine. This is a huge moment in the canon, and no show about anyone significant to the Rebellion could avoid it.

** Like with the star cluster from [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E12LegendsOfTheLasat "Legends of the Lasat"]], the Imperials cannot follow pursuit of the rebels when they enter the Archeon Nebula due to harboring special conditions that allow them to pass through it relatively safely. This time, however, it's the cruisers that can't, but the [=TIEs=] can. The music also becomes more otherworldly here as well.
*** It's also a reference to [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E3ShadowOfMalevolence "Shadow of Malevolence"]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', where Anakin used a similar shortcut via a dangerous route through a nebula that was an old smugglers' route, that capital ships had to go around. He was even in command of a squadron of Y-Wings at the time.

* AbsenteeActor: Kanan is absent for a supply run and after the last episode, Kallus does not accompany the other three main Imperials on the hunt for Mon Mothma even if this is his area. Sabine is excused from this trope due to being PutOnABus.

* SlowClap: There's no actual clapping involved, but the response to Mon Mothma's speech is similar in execution. For a moment, it seems as though nobody is going to respond to Mothma's call to join her newly-founded rebellion.... then a single ship emerges from hyperspace, and then another, and then another, and then soon there are ''dozens''.

* SuicideMission: Hera decides to bring Mothma to her desired location through the Archeon Nebula, a route that is very treacherous with its newborn stars and combustible gases. Even the Empire knows sending their capital ships to chase them would be suicide. However, Thrawn rectifies this by sending a TIE Defender piloted by Captain Skerris, as it would have better chances of surviving the nebula.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: Gold Two tells off the crew for making the Rebellion harder to maintain thanks to blowing up the communications tower on Lothal and then blowing up the ''Sovereign'' -- the former was Tarkin's doing and the latter was an accident, caused by the Grand Inquisitor's broken lightsaber falling into the power grid. Zeb explains Tarkin's role in the former incident, but gleefully brags about the latter as if they did it on purpose.

* BatmanGambit: Thrawn is now familiar enough with Hera's CrazyEnoughToWork plans that he takes it as given that she'll go with what would otherwise be the least likely approach. He's exactly right.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Skerris is last seen tumbling into the nebula after taking a hit from Gold Leader's ion cannons. His fate after the detonation of the gas is left unrevealed, though since only one part of the nebula was ignited, it's possible he survived, because he's ''that'' good a pilot.

In ''Legends'', since the Ghorman Massacre happened about a year after the Empire was established, it instead finally convinced Mothma, Organa, and some others to start organizing a rebellion.
