The droids that accompany Maul are hacked and reprogrammed droids from Mandalore, a relic from his time as ruler of that planet. They were designed for The Clone Wars series based on the rickshaw droid seen in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.

Describing the signal beacon that repels the Atollon spiders as a "thumper" is a reference to the Dune series of novels, where a similar device is used to attract sand worms.

The A-wing used by Kanan and Ezra to travel to Maul is a trainer model, a two-seater.

The asteroid base where Maul is operating out of is one he used in The Clone Wars, as seen in the "Son of Dathomir" comics series that adapted unproduced episodes.
