There were loads of overt Star Wars references in this episode which was fun.

• Music queues were distinctly more John Williams-y.
• Scene transitions hidden behind ships travelling past the screen.
• Scariff style forcefield over one planet.
• Tatooine like architecture.
• Tatooine cantina shape and style to the bar.
• A masked bounty hunter with an unintelligible language is actually an undercover ally.
• The weather station is reminiscent of the Endor shield array.
• Attacking a technological foe with sticks and war cries was similar to the Ewok battle in RotJ.

Some folks had a good day when they signed all that off.
