- A couple of first-season episodes have snuck in artifacts from Indiana Jones. A senator had a cane styled after the Staff of Ra (which later served as a sort of Weapon Tombstone) and one of the treasures Wat Tambor tried to loot from Ryloth was the Ark of the Covenant. Much later at the end of the third season, a crystal skull is in the Trandoshans' trophy room. In the Season 4 episode, Friends and Enemies, even Indy's hat appear, as a possible replacement for Cad Bane's old hat. After little hesitation he chose another.
- Mace Windu loses his light saber on one side of a closing door and gets it back in last moment, similar to the Indiana Jones scene with the hat.
- One of the Trandoshans in the Season 3 finale is modeled after and named for Walter Sobchak.
- The "Mercy Mission"/"Nomad Droids" arc is one long Shout-Out, most extensively to The Wizard of Oz, but also to Alice in Wonderland, The Lord of the Rings, and Gulliver's Travels. If that isn't enough, there are also callbacks to the original Star Wars and Return of the Jedi.
- It is also highly reminiscent of the 80's Droids cartoon.
- In the climax of "Prisoners", Prince Lee-Char kills Riff Tamson by shooting an explosive attached to Riff's body while he charges at the prince. Riff Tamson is a shark.
- In the pawnshop scene of "Friends and Enemies", Cad Bane checks out Indy's fedora before settling on his own trademark hat.
- The relationship between Morley and Darth Maul in "Brothers" resembles the one between Gollum and Shelob.
- Upcoming character Commander Thorn was designed as an official congradulations to Joss Whedan and Marvel on the success of The Avengers.
- In a similar vein, clone trooer Appo's helmet stripe was redesigned from its ROTS design to include an Avatar: The Last Airbender styel arrow.
- Although just how intentional it was is in dispute, there is a kind of Actor Allusion at one remove in the relationship between Obi-Wan and Satine Kryze. Although Ewan McGregor did not voice Obi-wan in the series, he did perform opposite Nicole Kidman playing a character named "Satine" in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge.
- Talking to Himself:
- "Rookies" revolves almost entirely around the clone troopers, who are all played by Dee Bradley Baker. He makes a great deal of effort in making them sound distinct from each other.
- The battledroids are all played by Matt Wood, and so is General Grievous, so he is leading an army of himself.
- A number of Republic characters are also voiced by Tom Kane, including Yoda, Admiral Yularen, and the narrator. Of course, the narrator never actually appears within the show, but he sounds quite similar to Admiral Yularen.
- Corey Burton plays Count Dooku, Cad Bane and Ziro the Hutt.
- What Could Have Been:
- Fan-favorite ARC trooper Alpha-17 was going to be a character in the show until George Lucas nixed the idea because it would mean having too many names beginning with A. As a result, we got Rex, who is basically the same character as Alpha except with a different name.
- Darth Bane and Revan were to appear in Ghosts of Mortis, even getting all the way to modeling, but were cut because them appearing as force ghosts seemed counterintuitive to the now established means for how a force user can appear as one.
