* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** [[Christopher Lee]] plays [[Dracula|an evil count whose name starts with a D]], who is also [[The Lord of the Rings|an evil, scheming "magician" who is used by the BigBad to build an army]].
** Obi-Wan Kenobi effectively telling a drug dealer to [[Trainspotting|choose life]] is either this or coincidental placement of standard-issue [[Drugs Are Bad]].
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Jar Jar Binks actually ''looks into the camera and smiles''. The message to the fanbase is quite clear.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Look closely and in a few scenes you can see [[Damages|Rose Byrne]] as one of Padme's handmaidens.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** In the Japanese-dubbed version, besides the returning characters from ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'':
***
*** Count Dooku [[Michio Hazama|is]] [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Captain Global]].
* [[Playing Against Type]]: As opposed to [[Badass]] [[Action Hero]] type character, Samuel L. Jackson plays a role of a wise and reserved master of the jedi order.▼
* [[Jossed]]: Up until this film, it had generally been assumed, and accepted as [[Fanon]], if not [[Canon]], that the Clone Wars had been fought by the Republic ''against'' the Clones.
* [[Throw It In]]: The entire [[Aggressive Negotiations]] conversation during the dinner scene between Anakin and Padme was ad-libbed by Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman at George Lucas' request, due to his not being happy with the romantic dialogue he wrote for that scene.▼
** Some EU writers got it right though, notably Timothy Zahn made it a point that in the early days the Empire made extensive use of clones to fill out their Stormtrooper ranks.
** Here's a creepy varient. When Anakin is about to go off and {{spoiler|hunt down the raiders who kidnapped his mother}}, look at his silouette on the wall. [[Foreshadowing|Doesn't his head look... Familiar?]] And here's the thing: No one on the post-work team shopped that shot. Hayden/Anakin's shadow looked like that naturally.▼

** The scene at Kamino had an interesting variation of this trope mixed in with [[What Could Have Been]]: When Obi-Wan heard of the clone army and the Jedi Army's supposed ties, the name of the benefactor was originally intended to be "Sido-Dyas", a thinly veiled alias for Darth Sidious, Obi-Wan was then supposed to state that he never heard of him, to which the Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda will confirm that no Jedi Master existed by that name. However, the script writer made a typo in the name (replacing the "d" in "Sido" with an "f"). George Lucas ended up liking the typo far better than the original, so they rewrote the scene to reveal that Sifo-Dyas had died over ten years prior to the movie.
** Nick Gillard mentioned that he had worked on developing a signature lightsaber style for Mace Windu but [[Samuel L. Jackson]] had already devised the very smooth and efficient style you see in the film. "It's Sam Jackson, he has a style all his own."
* [[What Could Have Been]]: A deleted scene shows Anakin and Padme's sentencing before the arena scene. It reveals they aren't being killed for opposing the new Confederacy, they're being executed for murdering all those innocent workers and security in the factory before they can use their political clout to squirm out of responsibility.
