** One tutorial gives you Photon Bombs and they last until you enter the Photon Torpedo tutorial or run out. As long as you don't empty your bomb stock and let it regenerate as needed, it's easy to [[VideogameCrueltyPotential obliterate]] ''all of Mos Eisley''.

* This game's version of "Battle of Endor" may as well be called "Battle for More Time", thanks to a hilarious bug that causes Lando to repeatedly shout "WE GOTTA BUY MORE TIME!"

* The menu used for the old Atari arcade games is a Death Star hangar, with you moving Darth Vader over to the cabinets in question. Its pretty serious what with the Imperial March blaring out...until you get close to the cabinets and suddenly, rave lights, disco music and a Death Star disco ball startup. All while Vader remains imposing and deadpan.
* There's also something amusing about how the only way to unlock the ''Return of the Jedi'' arcade game is via a cheat code, and that said cheat code basically reads "[[LampshadeHanging A third game? Yes.]]"
* The unlockable Buick returns and now has proper ship narration by General Rieekan! And the following is read in full unflinching professional deadpan, adding to the funny.
-->''This classic convertible is a relic from a galaxy far, far away. Equipped with cluster missiles, this extremely heavy armored vehicle is perfect for beating the poodoo out of any Imperial forces.''
* The Tatooine Training level now has a segment on controlling an AT-ST. After completing it, the instructor in charge asks you to apply.
-->'''Instructor:''' Congratulations. You have successfully completed the testing procedure. Dispatch your application to, Screening Office, Imperial Space Academy, your sector.

* If you [[NonStandardGameOver fail "Revenge on Yavin" by letting too many Rebel Transports escape]], Vader takes his anger out on one of his wingmen, killing him with a blaster shot. Seeing as the outcome of the mission is entirely dependent on the player, it can come off as [[NeverMyFault Vader trying to blame someone else for his failure]].

* At the end of "Liberation of Gerrard V", you're treated to the unlikely scene of a crippled [[FragileSpeedster TIE Interceptor]] being chased by a [[MightyGlacier Y-Wing]] rather than the other way around as you'd expect. Considering the TIE's pilot (Kasan Moor) is as competent as the rest of Rogue Squadron [[HeelFaceTurn after she defects]], you have to wonder [[CutsceneIncompetence how she got herself into that situation]] to begin with...
