She runs a bar in LA at number 10, Forward street. The reason for this is unexplained. I assume it’s a reference to 10 Forward on the enterprise. But we know that’s called 10 forward because it’s on deck 10 and at the front of the ship. Massive shrug?

That is a thing that irks me about recent Star Wars stuff I’ve seen: everything has to be a reference. That kid is not just any kid, he’s the young Boba Fett. That guy is the guy you saw “X years later” in a different film. That random piece of trash in an alley is the pipe with knurled sections on it from the Death Star garbage compactor. This guy comes from that planet that was named before. It makes the universe seem perversely small.
