* Blue Squadron from the "Storm Over Ryloth" episode is made up of Clone Pilots sharing their names with Franchise/{{Transformers}}: Slammer, Kickback, and Swoop are all Transformers from ''Generation One''. Only their leader, Axe, doesn't share a name with a prominent Transformer. The two survivors, Swoop and Kickback, notably are Transformers that turn into winged creatures.

* Blue Squadron from the "Storm Over Ryloth" episode is made up of V-19 Clone Pilots sharing their names with Franchise/{{Transformers}}: Slammer, Kickback, and Swoop are all Transformers from ''Generation One''. Only their leader, Axe, doesn't share a name with a prominent Transformer. The two survivors, Swoop and Kickback, notably are Transformers that turn into winged creatures. It's worth noting that ''Transformers'' is a franchise owned by Hasbro, who also held the license for ''Star Wars'' at the time. In fact, Hasbro released a Transformer turning into a V-19 Torrent that very year.

** A couple of the season one episodes have snuck in artifacts. A senator in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]" had a cane styled after the [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Staff of Ra]] (which later served as a sort of WeaponTombstone) and one of the treasures Wat Tambor tried to loot from Ryloth in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E21LibertyOnRyloth Liberty on Ryloth]]" was the [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Ark of the Covenant]]. Much later in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E22WookieeHunt Wookiee Hunt]]", a [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull crystal skull]] is in the Trandoshans' trophy room.

** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E7DangerousDebt Dangerous Dept]]" while trying to escape the Pikes, Ahsoka and Martez sisters have to jump over a widening gap, left by a retracting bridge. The sisters make it, but since they don't know Ahsoka is a Jedi, they think she's trapped. While arguing over, whether to wait for her, or leave her, Ahsoka jumps over the gap, and even their heads, landing behind them, leaving them thinking she fell, looking distraughtly down the gap, before Ahsoka walks-up to them. Much how Jones Sr,, Brody and Sallam reacted to Indy seemingly falling to his death with the tank, in ''The Last Crusade'', before he climbs up and joins them staring at the wreckage of the tank.
