* [[Shout-Out]]:
** In "Clone Cadets" the training program variant that Bravo squad runs is [[THX 1138|Version THX Variable 1138]].
** 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 [[The Big Lebowski|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 {{spoiler|kills Riff Tamson by shooting an explosive attached to Riff's body while he charges at the prince. Riff Tamson [[Jaws (film)|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 {{spoiler|Darth Maul}} in "Brothers" resembles the one between [[The Lord of the Rings|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! (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.

* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Fan-favorite ARC trooper Alpha-17 was going to be a character in the show until [[Executive Meddling|George Lucas nixed the idea]] because it would mean having too many names beginning with A. As a result, we got Rex, who is [[Captain Ersatz|basically the same character as Alpha except with a different name]].
