The Razor Crest lands on the forest planet of Corvus amid a fierce snowstorm. The weather was nicer in the final episode.

Ahsoka's white lightsabers are tinged with the red of the blaster fire as she battles the Calodan guards, casting a strange light.

This moment of Grogu using his powers on nearby wildlife got left on the cutting room floor.

The Calodan city gate was originally much more impressive than the one shown on-screen. It even has an imposing door.

Mando's first encounter with The Magistrate occurs in this grand courtyard, which is seemingly identical to the concept art.

Ahsoka and Mando's fights don't overlap much in this episode, but this image shows them working together on a rooftop.

Ahsoka's duel with the Magistrate was originally set indoors. Could this be a glimpse inside the Calodan building we only see from outside?
