Trivia
- This is the first (and so far the only) Power Rangers series to have an all-sibling team.
- This is also the first and only Power Rangers Series to be a spin-off in the New Saban Era, due to Hasbro acquirement to the franchise on May 1, 2018, following the announcement of Saban Brands' closure 24 days later.
- According to RB-Man, the series actually happens during the events of the Zordon Era, due to the series taking place in 1992.
- This is the first Power Rangers series to use profanity.
- The White Ranger originally wasn't going to be in the series, but the idea of that changed.
- Which is also the first time Saba won't be a sword, due to the series happening prior to the events of Mighty Morphin' Season 2.
- This is the second team (chronically, the first team) to use the Thunderzords.
- It's unknown why the Pegasus and Qilin, and Phoenix Zords weren't call the Unicorn, Griffin, and Firebird Zords in the show.
- The Zords have different concepts, but the Dragon Zord's warrior mode and Thunder Star Megazord's stays the same.
- This is also the first and only time where the Zords appear to be the Rangers' predecessors.
- The McGrath kids are all 15 since the show happens 15 years after their separation.
- Harry will be the first Power Ranger to be autistic. (Second if you count Billy from the Power Rangers movie.)
- But, RB-Man confirmed it won't be revealed until "The Secret".
- This show happens between the events of Mighty Morphin', Seasons 1 & 2, so the series might take place somewhere in the between 1993 and 1994.
- The Fall of Angel Grove was announced to be a crossover between Thunder Star and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
- However, RB-Man has no idea when it'll happen.
- RB-Man later confirmed the crossover would happen sometime before the events of The Mutiny
- The logo is created by Bili15Chaser
- This is the first season since Power Rangers Samurai to have more than 22 episodes.
- The team is set to appear in a crossover chapter for the series Power Rangers: Omniverse has been confirmed and is in development with to titles confirmed with the first one being "Survival of the Omniverse", the second one titled "The Final Judgement".
- It was confirmed that the crossover will feature Rangers in the fanon and canon universes.
- More information on this crossover chapter will be revealed soon.
- The two part series finale, The Final Rush explains why Saba's a sword in the first place.
- John bay and Eugene Snyder are named after directors Zach Snyder and Michael Bay. :O
- According to RB-Man, the team will not an appearance in Shattered Grid or it's Sequel.
- The series author, RB-Man confirmed that the first five Rangers are all 15, due to the fact the show happens 15 years after their parent's kidnapping.
- The series' original title was Power Rangers Thunder Strike, but RB-Man had to change it, due to the title already being used for another series and creative reasons.
- The Sinister Seven is a reference to the Marvel Comics supervillains, the Sinister Six.
- Saban Brands only helped produced the first 23 episodes of the series due Saban and Hasbro's deal on letting Hasbro acquire the rights to the Power Rangers franchise.
- RB-Man stated that Thunder Star would be the darkest Power Rangers Series ever.
- It's unknown if the series will be part of the canon series, but RB-Man has a theory that if Dairanger did gets an official adaptation ( Just so you know, he doesn't think second 2 of Mighty Morphin counts.), the series could be the next season after Beast Morphers.
