- TriviaFirst appearance in live action of Zeb Orrelios from the Star Wars: Rebels (2014) animated series. Voice actor Steve Blum reprises his role as Zeb.
- GoofsAs the Mandalorian launches the attack upon a hovering Corsair, pirate king Gorian Shard gives the order to "man the gunwales". This prompts the pirate bombardiers to jump down to the lowest deck and begin firing gun turrets mounted to the underside of the spaceship. However, the nautical term 'gunwale' does not refer to an actual gun, since a gunwale is the upper edge of a ship's hull. Although a gunwale could be used to mount a gun, it's also leaned upon by passengers to admire an ocean view.
- Quotes
Paz Vizsla: I was there on Nevarro that night. I fought against Greef Karga and his hunters. I saw my brothers and sisters fall of the hands of the Imperial butchers that hunted us in the sewers. I saw many die to save the life of this one, tiny foundling. And now we are asked to sacrifice yet again. The question we should be asking ourselves, "Why? Why should we lay our lives down yet again?" Because we are Mandalorians. I have had disagreements with this man, but he risked his life to save my son. And Bo-Katan Kryze did not give up on my child's life even when the rest of us did. These two are asking us to take up arms in the name of a brighter future, and I for one will take up arms to fight by their side. This is the Way.

However with the advent of its third season it has shifted to a more connected plot. Episode five titled. The Pirate it's the payoff of 4 episodes of build up. Whilst also building up for the next half of the season, it has given us the most action packed episode thus far whist also focusing on smaller characters throughout the episode. As it's only halfway through that we see the Mandalorians really take centre stage.
***SPOILERS***
The episode follows an group of pirates decimate Greef Karga's planet Nevarro. He is forced lead his people into the lava flats for safety as they wait for help to arrive from to Republic. However due to their world not being a member of the republic, help doesn't look likely to arrive. Greef sends word to Captain Teva to send urgent military aid. And although Teva is eager to help the people of Nevarro he is prevented by the New Republic bureaucracy. And the "redeemed" Imperial Officer Kane. Despite this Teva tracks down the Mandalorian covert. Pleading for them to help instead. After some deliberation and the support of Paz Visula they agree to liberate Nevarro. This is the most exciting point in the episode. As we get a small but full on battle featuring the entire covert taking on the pirate corvette in the skies and the troops on the ground.
The episode ends with our heros being rewarded with settlement on Nevarro, this time not being in the sewers but instead wide open pastures.
And with the promise that mandalore will be retaken.
