* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** Jace Malcom, the Republic Commander from the ''Hope'' trailer has been dubbed ''Sithpuncher''. Guess why.
** Whereas Darth Malgus is known as "Darth Gus", or just plain ol' "Gus", at least on the Jedi Council Forums.
** Nico Okarr has been called "[[Indiana Jones|Indiana Solo"]] and "[[Red Dead Redemption|Han Marston]]" by fans.
** Bowdaar. Just as Chewbacca was sometimes called "Chewie", [[David Bowie|"Bowie"]] is gradually spreading through the community.
*** He's actually even called Bowie once or twice in game if you have him with you on certain missions.
* [[I Knew It!]]: ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' predicted that this game was being made [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/3/29/ in 2006].
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]:
** Female Republic Trooper is [[Jennifer Hale|Commander]] [[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Shepard]]! Not to mention Satele Shan, who sounds exactly like her ancestor [[Knights of the Old Republic|Bastila]].
** And since Female Shepard is here, [[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Garrus]] stopped calibrating so much and became a Jedi Knight trainer and a Republic taxi droid. Either way, he's close to her.
** Why hello [[Alien|Bishop]], I mean,[[The Force|Jedi]] [[Star Wars|Master]] Gnost-Dural.
** [[Steve Blum]] voices Sith Inquisitor companion Andronikos Revel, as well as Bouris Ulgo, the power-mad King of Alderaan. And one of the main quest-givers for the Bounty Hunter's class arc sounds so much like [[Dragon Age Origins|Oghren]] that you half expect him to yell out [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"Ass chabs!"]] and pass out.
** Listening to the male Jedi Consular speak for awhile might lead you to expect him to call up [[Uncharted|Victor Sullivan]] [[Nolan North|to help him hunt for Jedi artifacts.]]
** One should keep expecting the male Jedi Knight to [[Parrot Exposition|repeat everything]] [[David Hayter|that the]] [[Metal Gear|quest givers say.]]
** The female Imperial Agent is quite used to [[Dragon Age II (Video Game)|building her reputation up from the lower class to the Champion of a society.]] Which leads to a gloriously meta version of [[Talking to Himself]] in Chapter 2, as {{spoiler|the Agent's [[Spirit Advisor]]/hallucination is voiced by Nicholas Boulton - male Hawke.}}
*** The male Imperial Agent is Seb Wilkes, [[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'s old friend from the episode "The Blind Banker."
** If you are a Sith Warrior, your instructor is [[BlakesBlake's Seven (TV)7|Avon]]!
** Brian Bloom, who voiced [[Kane and Lynch|Kane]], [[StarcraftStarCraft II|Matt Hornet]], Captain America and [[Dragon Age II (Video Game)|Varric]] is the male Trooper!
** Well, if [[Dragon Age|Teyrn Loghain]] is going to be their several of their commanding officers, including the Grand Moff, Imperial players had better hope his schemes work out [[Civil War|better than last time.]] Then again, that means they're also [[Legacy of Kain|very much capable of]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastardry]] of the highest order.
** The last boss of the Esseles flashpoint is Hawke! Also, he is a powerful Sith Lord called Lord Draahg. Guess after an entire story playing the hero, he would love to be a Sith for a change.
** [[Psych|Lassie]] is Lieutenant Jorgen, one of the trooper's companions!
** [[Futurama|Bender]]/[[Gears of War|Marcus Fenix]] is Nico Okarr, very noticeable in the trailer when he yells "On those guns now!".
** Vette - A blue Twi'lek that sounds [[Knights of the Old Republic|just like Mission Vao]].
** M1-4X is a robotic version of the narrator from [[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars]]. He also sounds suspiciously like [[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Mr. Herriman]] and [[Batman: Arkham Asylum|Warden Sharp]].
** The Voice of the Emperor is, [[Complete Monster|appropriately]] [[Humanoid Abomination|enough]], freaking '''[[Hellraiser (Film)|Pinhead]]!'''
** One of the main Republic questgivers on Tatooine is [[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Aqualad]]!
** [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Karliah]] has defected to the Republic from the Sith Empire.
** If you want [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]] as your companion, then play a Smuggler cause Risha is voiced by [[Tara Strong]]!
** Agent Fauler is [[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Cyborg!]]
** The female Bounty Hunter is [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Azula]] -- and the Pyrotech talent tree suddenly seems doubly appropriate.
*** The female Bounty Hunter is Nova, one of her partners is Tychus Findlay, her antagonist of the first act is Rory Swann and her antagonist of the third act is Jim Raynor.
** The female Smuggler is Phil and Lil from The Rugrats!
** Jari Orez, the jedi overlooking Guardian Hold Six on Corelia is [[Gears of War|Lt. Kim!]]
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: No, Ayrn Lenieer is ''not'' related to [[Babylon 5|Lenier]].
* [[No Export for You]]: Or anyone outside of North America and select European countries.
** Partially [[Justified Trope|justified]], in that it would be quite tricky for a western-based MMO to make a dent in the glut of the genre that makes up the Asian market.
