Flashes/Tropes


 * And Now, For Something Completly Different: This is the first Star Wars film to not to have human characters.
 * Author's Saving Throw:
 * The film manages to believeably avert the Esoteric Happy Ending many perceived at the end of The Rise of Skywalker by setting itself 30 years after that film and shosing that, eventually, the New Republic was restored and the First Order's remenants were defeated. The film also avoids an Ass Pull by explicity stating the process took many years, with the implication that the New Republic was instaured only a few years ago, making the idea of such event happening come off as rather likely.
 * The film features a lesbian relationship at its front and center, after fans complained about how the best LGBTQ+ representation in Star Wars films was a blink-and-you'll kiss in The Rise of Skywalker.
 * All-CGI Cartoon: And the first one within the Star Wars franchise to be released in theaters since The Clone Wars.
 * Awesome Art: The film's animation manages to succesfully adapt the style used in Rango to the world of Star Wars.
 * Awesome Moments: Dubna's defeat. The heroines are cornered in the hangar. Mira has onky one blast left. And that won't be enough. So, what does Mira do? She shoots to a leaking fuel, causing an explosion that spreads througth the entire building while Mira and her girlfriend jump off and glide away .
 * And a villanous one for Dubna, seeing that he survived.
 * But before he could get away with his misdeeds, Dyzo shows up. And before he finishes a sentence, he silently kills the corrupt mayor.
 * Call-Back:
 * The prologue mentions the events from The Rise of Skywalker.
 * Dyzo's entrance is a nod to Cad Bane's first scene in The Book of Boba Fett.
 * Continuity Nod:
 * Roben suggests to Mira she could leave their planet for Bokura.
 * Luke Skywalker himself is briefly mentioned when Mira tells to her girlfriend "[She's] not [him]" after a crash-landing.
 * Expy: Dyzo and Mayor Dubna were admitedly inspired by Rattlesnake Jake and Mayor Tortoise John from Rango.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Dyzo may have been a member of the nefarious First Order, but he dosen't take betrayals too well.
 * Eviler than Thou: Mayor Debuna outdoes an ex-First Order soldier in vileness by ordering him to be executed out ifparanoia and for the hell of it.
 * For the Evulz: Mayor Debuna admits that one of the reasons he ordered Dyzo to be executed was that he was bored.
 * Genre Roulette: The film combines the Space Opera of Star Wars with a Western aesthetic and a rescue story.
 * Mythology Gag:
 * The opening narration features the line "But even througth that dynasty of evil was erradicated, its path of destruction left scars througth the galaxy", a nod to the titles of two Legends novels centering on Darth Bane.
 * The main character is named "Mira", the same name as a bounty hunter from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
 * One of the film's first shots resembles Yoda's first scene in the 2003 Clone Wars series.
 * The scene of Mira watching her home destroyed and her family dead before Dalia drags her out is an homage to the first Knights of the Old Republic comic.
 * Dubna says he found Dyzo "rotting in Dromund Kaas", a planet that previously appeared in non-canon Legends material.
 * While discussing the state of their ship, Mira's girlfriend comments that the ship currently won't even take them to "a lousy Tibanna gas mine", a line taken straight from The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special.
 * At one point, Mira says that she dreamed of moving to Scarif with her girlfriend, Dalia, due to being a popular vacation spot, which was how it was depicted in LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation.
 * Roben at one point mentions they could move througth Duben's security "with a Wookie's Paw", a nod to the final story in LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Dyzo. He's a remorseless killer with a face that will haunt your dreams for a long time, who's latest mission is chasing a teenager.
 * Pardon My Klinglon: Averted. Following the footsteps of Andor, the film features some real-life swearing, with Mira even occassionally uttering "shit" and "damn". Which is surprising from an animated movie released by a Disney subsidiary.
 * Shout-Out:
 * The planet the film is set in was inspired by Gotham City. Dyzo's face also resembles that of Two-Face in The Dark Knight.
 * Dubna's security guards rese,ble the Minutemen from Loki.
 * At one point, Dubna quotes Virgil Sollozzo by saying to Dalia: "What are you worried about, if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already".
 * Dubna's death is similar to when Maya Lopez (nonfatally) shot Wilson Fisk in Hawkeye.
 * Mira's vehicle resembles the Ecto-1 as depicted in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
 * Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Even througth the First Order was erradicated, this left an opening for criminals to take power in the middle of the chaos.
 * Tearjerker: Mira's backstory. She became forced to live off thecstreets after watching her famiky being killed. As a child. And then, she watches her girlfriend bring kidnapped by the same one who killed her family.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After Dyzo seemingly kills Mira, Debuna orders him killed so he won't rebel against him. And he was bored.
 * What Do You Mean Its For Kids: An animated Star Wars film sounds pretty harmless, right? Well, this film is set in a hellhole run by a corrupt mayor, features tons of real-life swearing, has the main character suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and is being chased by a cyborg mercenary whose ruthlessness is played for all the horror its worth of and has a nightmerish design.
 * The Woobie: Mira. She suffered a horrific childhood, suffers from PTSD, and has her girlfriend kidnapped.
