One of the items on display in Luthen's shop is a Naboo headpiece like the one worn by Senator Padme Amidala while traveling incognito in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002).

Goofs
The Narkina 5 Prison console guard is poorly equipped in that he cannot see the room that he controls. He is in control of the doors (a lever on the console) he is in control of the lift and he is in control of the electrification of the floor. Yet he needs to rely on the other guards for clarification of circumstances ("How's it looking out there, what's going on out there") The levels have windows looking down on each workroom yet the console guard doesn't have a view from a window.

Quotes
Supervisor Lonni Jung: My sacrifice? It means nothing to you, does it?
Luthen Rael: I said I think of you constantly and I do. Your investment in the Rebellion is epic. A double life? Every day a performance? The stress of that? We need heroes, Lonni, and here you are.
Supervisor Lonni Jung: And what do you sacrifice?
Luthen Rael: Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!

You could only tell this quality of story on TV

My grandad fought in the Second World War, he was captured in Dunkirk and endured three years of prisoner of war camps, mostly labor camps. He escaped from three. The last one he made it from far behind enmity Lomé's to almost the English Channel, smuggles most of the way by the resistance. When he got picked up, it was the Americans who found him, D-day had happened, they took him straight back so he could show them where his prisoner of war camps were so they could be liberated. I tell this story because I always wondered what it must of been like, the times in the labor camps, the struggle, the fortitude and pig headed was he must have had. For three episodes I have been absolutely captivated and more emotionally attached than I am able to say. That wouldn't have happened without the patient story telling and astounding acting that has gone on. This episode was catharsis embodied, and I suspect not just for me, but anyone who has ever dreamed of freedom and liberty on their own terms. Truly amazing, amazing episode.
