Star Wars: The Mandalorian Episode 7 Easter Eggs

This Star Wars commodity contains spoilers for The Mandalorian.

The Mando is dorsum on Nevarro for the penultimate episode of the flavor, gathering friends for a final confrontation with the Client. The fight doesn't go the way even its double-crossing participants expected. By the terminate of "The Reckoning," the Empire has arrived, and with them comes a new villain who will claiming our heroes in the season finale. At his command is an entire platoon of familiar Purple units hailing from different corners of the Star Wars universe, plus in that location are a few other callbacks you might have missed while watching the episode.

Here are the easter eggs and references from The Mandalorian episode vii:

Baby Yoda

– The Ugnaught Kuill says he suspects Babe Yoda might be a "Strand-Bandage," a new term in the Star Wars universe. He says he saw strand-casts when he was indentured to the Empire, only they were ugly creatures, not every bit functional as Babe Yoda. They come from "factor farms." It sounds like these are similar to but distinct from clones, perhaps people and/or creatures programmed from scratch at the genetic level rather than a clone of another person. We talked style more than about the origins of Babe Yoda here.

The New Republic

– Cara says she'southward wanted past the New Commonwealth for the jobs she's done since she left the Rebellion. And then far, the New Republic in The Mandalorian has been used every bit an impersonal fist of justice: see the Ten-Wings bombing the prison house transport in "The Prisoner."

– Kuill refers to Cara every bit a "driblet trooper," confirming in more detail what exactly a Rebel "shock trooper" is.

The Empire

– Giancarlo Esposito is here every bit Moff Gideon, an Royal warlord. He's quite willing to look exactly like the evil Empire of the by, descending from a Necktie fighter with his army of stormtroopers. Perchance, like the Client, he believes the galaxy was more peaceful nether the Empire and plans to keep his championship until the rest of the fascist structure can exist rebuilt around him.

– The Moff title itself has been effectually since the Original Trilogy and was extensively expanded upon in necktie-in material. The starting time Moff to appear in the films was Grand Moff Tarkin, whose title put him on an equal ground with Darth Vader. In catechism, Moffs are sector governors, with twenty in total (including the Grand Moff) enforcing the Empire'south volition in their specific star sectors. Their part was similar in Legends, but because of the longer running time of the Legends canon more of them were named. Legends too includes a clandestine gathering of Moffs called, hilariously, a Mofference.

– Gideon's ship is known every bit an Outland TIE Fighter. It appears larger than most single-person Necktie Fighters, and its wings fold in a fashion reminiscient of the Imperial Lambda shuttle.

– Rogue 1 'southward death troopers return equally part of Gideon's Imperial forcefulness. Aristocracy stormtroopers, decease troopers are surgically augmented, go through avant-garde training, and wear armor that can baffle sensor systems. While regular stormtroopers can exist cannon forage, these troopers are intended to be versatile and unstoppable.

Aliens

– The pale-skinned adult female with stripes on her face who pays Cara Dune for winning her tour has marks like to those of Asajj Ventress, a Rattataki alien. She could be any number of "near-human" species.

– The alien Cara Dune fights is a Iridonian Zabrak.

– Other aliens in the episode include Nikto, Rodians and Trandoshans.

Planets

Kuill mentions "the Cytocaves of Nora," a gene farm. This is also a brand new location. He jokes that it looks like Cara Dune might accept come from there, possibly a reference to her appearance not being "ugly" like Kuill says Baby Yoda'southward is.
