It should be noted that this Easter egg now places the Corvinus canon as a Jedi Knight much earlier than in Legends.
Tiber Underlock
This is another deep incision of Legends that requires some digging. The name “Tiber” carved on the wall may refer to Tiber Underlock, a Jedi pilot in the online computer game Star Wars Galaxies, which ran from 2003 to 2011.
Drake Lo’gaan
In the early 2000s, StarWars.com supported The Clone Wars with various web comics published in Hyperspace, the official online portal of the Star Wars fan club. The name Drake Lo’gaan on the cave wall is from one of these Jedi comics, the fall of the story “Reversal of Fate”, which, after fighting with Anakin during the Clone Wars, survived after Order 66 and later collides with Vader. He also interacted with several Clone Wars characters, including General Greaves, Ayla Sekura, and Boris Ofi.
Garel
The planet Garel received a shout this week, adding to its long list of mentions, if not outspoken appearances. Depicted in Rebels as well as mentioned in various books and comics, Garel was the site of the Phoenix base, home to a rebel cage, key to some of the early decisions that turned a scattered network of anti-imperial fighters into an organized rebel alliance.
“Other ways to fight”
Obi-Wan’s assertion that “there are other ways to fight” is a slight variation on Sir Alec Guinness’s line “There are alternatives to battle” in New Hope. There is irony here, as the quote was originally said shortly before Obi-Wan confronted Darth Vader. It has also since been incorporated into Jedi philosophy in general, such as when Luke throws his lightsaber in The Return of the Jedi or confronts Kylo Wren only as a projection of the Force in The Last Jedi.
Released forces of force
The towing of a spaceship with the Force, as Vader does in this episode, has been depicted several times in Star Wars, best known in the video game The Force Unleashed. It also recalls Ray’s failed attempt to do the same in The Rise of Skywalker.
