After the somewhat controversial sixth episode of the third season of The Mandalorian, some good news can be brought to light as there is a joyous Tenacious D reference hidden in plain sight for almost the entirety of the episode. The song “City Hall” by Tenacious D serves as the entire layout for Captain Bombardier’s plan for Plazir-15’s future, with Captain Bombardier being portrayed by Jack Black. Plazir-15 features both people in the streets and people at city hall, or in this case the High Senate. To further solidify the Tenacious D reference, Jack Black sings about how it is time to rise up and slay some people, which is a direct play on the Rebel Alliance’s struggle to overcome the grave tyranny of Palpatine’s Empire.
One memorable moment that solidified “City Hall” as the Tenacious D reference is on Plazir-15 when a frog person is wearing a fez and smoking a hookah in the High Senate. The frog person solidifies the legalization of recreational activities and the total freedom of expression and with it equality. The legalization of such activities is the first of three decrees made by Jack Black and Kyle Gass in “City Hall.”

The second decree made by Jack Black is about eliminating pollution, car exhaust, ocean dumping and, most importantly, the modernization of commuting via tubes. Notably, Plazir-15 has uniquely shaped cylindrical tubes that fit transit cars in them, to travel in between the different domed-off portions of Plazir-15 which are also sung about in “City Hall”. The Duchess and Captain Bombardier, much like Jack Black and Kyle Gass, started fresh after the riots and built utopias free of pollution and poverty, and full-up on prosperity and equality.
To further solidify the final decree, the entire town is serviced by the many droid workers from all three Star Wars trilogies. The droids completing daily menial tasks allows the citizens of Plazir-15 to not live as kings but to live like kings as sung about in City Hall. Having the droids care for the citizens of Plazir-15 eliminates the citizens’ need to focus on mundane jobs and more on the importance of a democratic society.
However, slowly over time, the citizens of Plazir-15 become reminiscent of the humans in Pixar’s WALL-E which will lead them down a path of complacency, paving the way for the First Order.
