As the Lars homestead prepares for attack, we see a perimeter droid with a red warning dome announcing the alert conditions. This droid is also seen in Star Wars: A New Hope when Luke Skywalker and C-3PO are topside at dusk, looking for a missing R2-D2. Its function as a perimeter droid -- and its name, 2X-K3PR -- were established in the Star Wars Customizable Card Game in 1995.

Obi-Wan’s humble living quarters are drawn from the original script of Star Wars: A New Hope, where Ben is described as living in a cave. By the time production started on Episode IV, the location was transplanted into a hut, but there are still blueprint drawings referring to his home as a "cave."

Placing Kenobi in a cave and not his hut at this time met several story needs. As established in DK Publishing's Star Wars: Complete Locations map, Obi-Wan’s hut was quite far from the Lars homestead, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series needed him closer to keep an eye on the farm.

The T-16 skyhopper that Obi-Wan buys from Teeka is intended to be the same model that Luke Skywalker plays with in Star Wars: A New Hope. The original prop for the first film was a concept model built by Colin Cantwell during preproduction.

This episode actually marks the third time that Liam Neeson has reprised the role of Qui-Gon Jinn. He previously returned to the character on two occasions in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
