The pink astromech droid, R2-KT, can be seen in the Resolute hangar bay.

The expanded universe has described Ryloth as a tide-locked planet -- meaning one side faces the sun all year long. If this is true, it makes Mace Windu's blockade-busting deadline of "one planetary rotation" curious, though Mace never does identify what planet he's referring to.

Wat Tambor is revealed to have another title in addition to Foreman of the Techno Union: he is identified here and subsequent episodes as "Emir."

The Lucky Lekku and Spaceward Ho Republic attack gunships are seen in the Resolute hangar bay. Fitting, in that they both prominently feature Twi'leks painted on them.

The rippling circular Trade Federation viewscreen from Episode I finally makes a return appearance in this episode.

The spinning scope device on Captain Mar Tuuk's data goggles was partly inspired by the mechanical monocle worn by a Ko-Dan fleet officer in The Last Starfighter. Originally, Mar Tuuk was to have died aboard his ship, but he proved interesting enough to George Lucas and The Clone Wars crew that his life was spared. A new scene of him leaving the bridge was added late in the making of the episode, and a line of dialogue was given to a battle droid explaining that Mar Tuuk fled in an escape pod.
