* SeriesContinuityError: Kashyyyk has been established as a DeathWorld that gets more dangerous the lower you go in the forest, with the Wookies living higher in the canopy. The team lands on the floor and proceeds through the forest to a village on foot rather than landing on a platform in the village high in the canopy.

The team lands on the floor and proceeds through the forest to a village on foot rather than landing on a platform in the village high in the canopy. On the other hand, the ground and the tree canopy seem to be quite close, so perhaps it's just relative higher ground.

* MythologyGag: The Netcasters are based on the Kinrath, who first appeared in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''. They're largely similar to the enemy in that game, but also demonstrate the ability to create webbing, in keeping with their spider-like look. Unlike the Kinrath, however, they have eyes and are hostile when threatened.

The Wookies deliberately rile up the nest and then stand down so the Kinrath will attack their foes. Gungi then defeats Venomor by luring him into the Kinrath's nest, waiting for them to appear, and immediately deactivating his lightsaber; the Kinrath walk right past him and attack Venomor.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is probably the best ending the Bad Batch, and Gungi could hope to achieve. For Gungi, he's made it back home, and he's found a tribe to both look after and be looked after, and on top of that, he's made a new friend in Omega. For the Bad Batch, they've rescued a Jedi and made sure he is safe and sound where the Empire will have trouble finding him.
