I liked it. Some slight comic relief worked a lot better than just naming some random battle or supposed historical event that will later be shown disappointingly by some future spin-off.
Yeah, I agree with you. I could have phrased my original comment more clearly, as I guess either method could be considered to be doing the same thing. I start to feel like every actual bit of lore that is specifically mentioned these days is really a backdoor pilot and certainly creates an opportunity for fans to complain about not seeing THAT story. The joke makes it a little more obvious that they’re not planning anything specific, but still hints at adventures and shared experiences among the characters.
