Honoring the Maker, George Lucas
Zeb mentions he’s in corridor GL-44 before the rebels reach the shield generator on Lothal. Ironically, George Lucas was born in 1944. Also, a Wilhelm Scream is heard at the 38:14 mark of the final Rebels episode — which George Lucas implemented into all of his Star Wars films.
Hera and Han Solo display similar piloting skills
In the latest (teaser) trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, Han Solo performs a barrel roll maneuver, which Hera does during the Battle of Lothal. We also learn that Han Solo and Hera have indeed met, displayed in the animated-short Forces of Destiny.
It’s my favorite episode of the series to this point, so I highly recommend you watching it — and the entire series for that matter.

Gimli and Legolas
Much like Gimli and Legolas in Lord of the Rings, Zeb and Kallus represent the unique friendship from Tolkien’s universe. The only non-dwarf allowed to reside in Elf homestead was Gimli, just like Kallus on Zeb’s homeworld of Lira San. It’s also a touching moment that Zeb’s people displayed a lesson in forgives, after Kallus nearly aided in eliminated their species from the galaxy.
