* GrayAndGrayMorality: This episode opens with the Jedi pondering the wisdom of training terrorists (an insurgency) against a legitimate government (our king has long been silenced), demonstrating the Jedi Order's growing difficulty with politics and the necessities of war.

Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: The Jedi send Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka to train and advise, nothing more. This matches the Original Trilogy's alignment of the Rebellion with the North Vietnamese and the Empire with the US; where the US sent its army into Vietnam, the Soviets only sent advisors and weapons.

** To the old ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' canon--not only is the first sight of Onderon one of dense jungle while its capital city is named Iziz, the rebels are shown riding various monstrous fauna, which is a reference to the titular "Beast Riders of Onderon" which were introduced in ''ComicBook/TalesOfTheJedi''. However, since the "demon moon" Dxun is not mentioned, presumably these creatures are native to the planet.[[labelnote:*]] Thanks to the ContinuityReboot, there is also no reference made to the former rulers of Onderon having been dark side Force-users, but since Amanoa and Ommin were both killed (and Freedon Nadd's spirit was obliterated) and Galia rejected her parents' ways, one could assume that such influence is now long gone or else Dooku would have shown more interest in the planet.[[/labelnote]]

* ContinuityNod: While teaching the rebels how to fight droidekas, Ahsoka tells them that a distraction from the front coupled with an attack from behind where they're blind will give them a kill... as memorably demonstrated by Rex in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E5LandingAtPointRain Landing at Point Rain]]", walking through a droideka's shield from behind while it was distracted by Ahsoka.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: We first meet Saw Gerrera in this episode. While he seems like an overenthusiastic and over aggressive member of a resistance movement, he goes on to play a major role in ''Rebels'' and commands the Partisans in ''Rogue One.'' Further, this is where he learns the skills that make him so dangerous to the Empire later in his life.
