 " The Return of Harmony " was the first episode of the second season . According to Thiessen , the Hub and its parent company Hasbro had " approved the season two before we were done with season one ; they knew they had something good on their hands . " He explained , " they saw [ the success ] of the show early on , which is [ … ] rare because usually a season will be one and aired before a network will renew it because they want to know what the numbers are , but they , I guess , a bit of a risk on their behalf , but I 'm glad they did . " The finale scene of the episode is a parody of the ending from the 1977 movie Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope . According to Thiessen , the joke was an " afterthought " ; originally , there was going to be a more elaborate ending , but due to time constraints , a new finale was created . During the animation stage , one of the directors noted that the scene was " kind of like the ending to A New Hope " and so , the decision was made to create " scene for scene " parody of the original .
