Long Live the Queen/Trivia

*This is the only episode to feature a warning before the episode starts, likely due to the emotional scene of Queen Janna dying.
*This is the first episode we find out Surak is Janna's son. 
*The episode title could be a reference to the phrase "Long Live the King" since Scar murdered Mufasa from the stampede from The Lion King.
**This is the second episode whose title is a reference to The Lion King.
*This is the second episode where a character dies, though it is the only time someone dies on-screen from old age.
*This is the only episode in The Lion Guard in which a character of a good affiliation died.
* The scene where Janna's body gets covered in flowers is likely a call back to Can’t Wait to be Queen as Aminifu's corpse was similarly covered in flowers following his death. The same type of music also plays during the scene.
** It could also be a reference to the play, as Mufasa was similarly buried in such a manner in the play.
* The scene of Queen Janna resting on the rock in the Tree of Life is similar to how Simba was resting in Pride Rock during The Scorpion's Sting, likely as a call back to the episode. This could explain why Kion cries during the scene, as he was likely having flashbacks to it.
* During her last moments, Janna tells Rani "It is time." This is a reference to when Rafiki told Simba it was time for him to take his place as King in the finale of the original film. Of course, here the words are used in a far more tragic context, as Rani is now realizing her grandmother will be dying shortly, and immediately protests that she is not ready, in contrast to Simba who took the throne back from a usurper.
* When Kion talks to Mufasa, the latter expresses concern that Kion had forgotten him. This refers to when Simba sees Mufasa's ghost in the sky in the original film and Mufasa tells Simba "You have forgotten me.".
* The episode Babysitter Bunga was referenced when Bunga was helping Varya look for her cubs.
* Makini becomes an official Royal Mjuzi in this episode.
* When Rani enters the Tree of Life after Janna's death, Makini can be heard humming "Wisdom on the Walls".
*This episode had an average of 454,000 viewers.http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-sunday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-20-2019.html
*Scar was mentioned, but not seen in this episode.
*This episode addresses Rani's scar on her foreleg, however it is unknown how she received it.
*Queen Janna gives Kion the Mark of the night pride.
** This also foreshadows that the Mark of the Night pride is hidden after he received it.
** This is also foreshadows that he still keeps the roar and later fell in love with Rani.
