Trivia
Every Star Wars Rebels episode is chock full of nods and connections to other canon stories and Star Wars Legends. Here's what we found in 'The Call:'


 * The Techno Union was first introduced in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and made several appearances in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
 * The Mining Guild was first referenced in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and made its first canonical appearance in the novel A New Dawn.
 * The purrgills have a strong resemblance to whales, and have been affectionally referred to online as "space whales." In the canon comic series Star Wars: Darth Vader, "space whale"-like creatures also appeared in the form of Cylo's abominations.
 * This episode marks the first time on-screen that we see TIE fighters specifically repurposed to be used by a faction other than the Galactic Empire.
