Logline
Who knows? They never released one.
Edit: They finally released one - how novel to release the actual episode first!
Captain Freeman assigns the Lower Deckers an overly safe mission to try and keep a self-destructive Mariner out of danger.
Written by: It’s a secret (it was Mike McMahan)
Directed by: We’re not tellin’ (it was Brandon Williams)
Pretty clear “Star Wars” fan fun in the animation this episode. Tatooine-ish planet visited by Freeman’s crew, even arriving in a land speeder shaped shuttle. Mariner and Ma’ah hide in Yoda’s house. The transmitter looks like the imperial base on the moon of Endor, and Lorcano lives in a home inspired by Jabba’s palace. Love it when my nerd interests collide.
Yes! I noticed all this too. My first thought was “What, did get run out of Trek refrences and are now dipping into the Wars?”
