The stencil for Vernestra Rwoh's diamond head tattoos was created from a fishnet stocking.

Chancellor Drellik is a Tarsunt, the same species as Chancellor Villecham who was glimpsed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Some of the high-flying choreography for the Stranger and Sol dueling on Brendok pays homage to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The final scene in the episode marks the first series appearance of Jedi Master Yoda.
