** Obi-Wan defeats Darth Vader in a duel, bringing to mind a line from ''Film/ANewHope'' -- "When I left you, I was but the learner. Now ''I'' am the master." Then Obi-Wan calls him "Darth", as he would in their final duel on the Death Star.
** Obi-Wan's "Hello there!" to Luke is both an AscendedMeme and a call forward to the day they will meet again after the Tusken attack on Luke.

I wouldn't say born, it feels way too early as Anakin still hasn't fallen. Instead Vader is conceived here. He grows as the clone wars progresses, the birthing pains start when Palpatine reveals himself, and THEN he is born when Anakin pledges himself to Palpatine.


** When Anakin tells Padme that he killed all the Tusken Raiders after his mother's death, Darth Vader's theme music plays for a second or two. This moment, along with the previous night when the massacre happened, could be considered the day Darth Vader was born.

* ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'' features Dash Rendar as a smuggler and Rebel operative. ''Shadow Games'', set shortly before the Battle of Yavin but written years after ''Shadows'', ends with him mulling over the possibility of joining the Rebellion. He snarks that he'll only join when Han joins, which could ''absolutely'' never happen. His droid Leebo even states that Han would rather be frozen in carbonite before joining.

** Plans for a Rebel base are scrapped due to the detection of Imperial probe droids in the system, and Hoth is among the candidates for a replacement. No one is especially ''excited'' about the prospect of building a base on that ice ball, but the other possibilities are at least as bad.
** The ''Millennium Falcon'' takes quite a beating over the course of the story, and Han grouses that eventually his and Chewie's patchwork repairs aren't going to be enough and the ship will just refuse to work right, which is the situation they find themselves in during ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
