- The fuel tanker that the StarSpeeder 3000 almost runs into at the end has on its side a hazardous materials sign and registration number. The registration number is Lucasfilm's old office phone number.
- Rex's voice belongs to Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens.
- There's a little red tag hanging off of Rex's base that says "Warning! Remove before Flight!"
- The baskets of parts in the Droidnostics Center in the queue for Star Tours at Disney World also have hidden initials and birth dates of WDI and ILM team members who worked on the attraction.
- Listen for an announcement looking for a Mr. Egroeg Sacul; then spell it backwards.
- Another announcement asks for the owner of a speeder with the license plate number "THX1138," which is the name of the first film made for commercial distribution by George Lucas.
- Yet another announcement asks for Mr. Tom Morrow, which was the name of the Audio-Animatronic "operations director" host of the old Flight to the Moon attraction in the Magic Kingdom.
- Look closely at the pre-boarding video. The passengers are not actors but Imagineers and their families.
- The work crews shown in the docking bays and control rooms of the film are actually members of the Industrial Light & Magic model shop staff. In fact, ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren and his crew can be seen diving out of the way when Rex accidentally steers the StarSpeeder 3000 toward the control room on the right.
- Who was that horrified the guy in the landing bay who ducks in terror as Rex nearly crash into him with the StarSpeeder 3000 at the end of the flight? Contrary to popular belief it's not George Lucas, but in fact an ILM modelmaker named Ira Keeler.
