* Prince Xizor was the BigBad of the 1996 story VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheEmpire, and while his organization the Black Sun stayed canon, Xizor himself didn’t. It wouldn't be until ComicBook/StarWarsCrimsonReign in 2022 that he would finally be mentioned as a leader of the Black Sun in canon.

* Curiously, Rakata Prime from the Old Republic era was included on the [[AllThereInTheManual Visual Guide]] for ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance Resistance]]'' and the ''Choose Your Destiny'' series brought back its other ''Legends'' name of "Lehon".

* A species that is likely the Rakata makes a cameo appearance in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsPoeDameron Poe Dameron]]''.

* Cartao is home to an Imperial facility that was put on an Imperial list of possible targets by Rebels in ''Literature/{{Tarkin}}'' and ''Literature/BattlefrontTwilightCompany''. In ''Legends'', it was the source of Spaarti [[CloningBlues cloning]] cylinders, though this probably isn't the case here, as stormtroopers are now mere enlistees, not clones.

* Despite the LEGO side of Star Wars being deemed non-canonical, the original main characters from WesternAnimation/LEGOStarWarsTheFreemakerAdventures have been mentioned and categorized in the official book, ''Star Wars: Droidography''. Meaning that a version of these characters existed within canon.

* Several weapons from the ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga'', including Kyle Katarn's trademark Bryar pistol and the Imperial heavy repeater from ''[[VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast Jedi Outcast]]'', were part of a Death Star-themed DLC pack for ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2015 Battlefront 2015]]''.

* The Black Sun crime syndicate showed up in many ''Legends'' works, but appeared during the fifth season of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''. It also canonizes the Falleen, also known as the species of [[Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire Prince Xizor]], though the man himself's canon status is unknown.

* ''[[Literature/StarWarsCatalyst Catalyst]]'' mentions a Battle of Hypori during the Clone Wars, indicated by the wreckage of a crashed ''Acclamator''-class cruiser, as well as having rumors of a Jedi ambush having taken place there. Though not outright confirmed, this fits the description of Chapters 20 and 21's Battle of Hypori in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Clone Wars]]''.

* Several characters in ''ComicBook/TheHighRepublic'' swear by "Surik's Blade", showing that [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Meetra Surik]] is a figure remembered by the Jedi.

* ''[[Literature/StarWarsCatalyst Catalyst]]'' mentions a Battle of Hypori during the Clone Wars, indicated by the wreckage of a crashed ''Acclamator''-class cruiser, as well as having rumors of a Jedi ambush having taken place there. Though not outright confirmed, this fits the description of Chapters 20 and 21's Battle of Hypori in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Clone Wars]]'' to a T.

* Onderon from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' gets an entire arc on it in ''The Clone Wars'', becoming the home of Saw Gerrera's Onderon Partisans.

* [[Literature/ServantsOfTheEmpire The Leonises]] once lived on Moorja. In ''Legends'', it was subjected to numerous ion storms, which would damage machinery and other tech, but would provide naturally fertile soil due to frequent rainfall by blowing in water from the oceans. However, poor crop management would pretty much cancel this fertility out and farmers would have to rely on artificial fertilizer ([[FridgeBrilliance This makes perfect sense for why the Leonises would reside in Moorja, as the Leonises are agricultural scientists]]). The Separatists would also find interest in this soil, causing a Battle of Moorja against the Republic during the Clone Wars.

* ''Literature/OneThousandLevelsDown'' contains the first appearance of a Herglic (basically whale-people) in canon. In ''Legends'', having been a technologically advanced race earlier than most in galactic history, their manufacturing centers were among the first to be nationalized by the Galactic Empire. Initially, the normally docile Herglics tried to fight back, but after significant losses to their people and realizing the futility of their resistance (nearly leading to the destruction of their infrastructure), they chose a more pragmatic path; [[TheBadGuyWins submitting to the will of the Empire]]. This is presumably the same reason as to why Herglics are being persecuted alongside the Mon Calamari and Alderaanians, as both of these other races have influential figures in the Rebel Alliance.

* In ''Last Call at the Zero Angle'', Tana compares Huck to a sand-panther in heat in regards to [[HairTriggerTemper his short temper]]. In ''Legends'', sand-panthers were native to Corellia (though rarely seen), and are pretty much like every giant feline animal on Earth, except with venomous claws.

** ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' recanonizes the concept of Ashla and Bogan as an ancient interpretation of the Force. Though however, it is worth noting that what was said to be kept in mind for this idea was more of a MythologyGag (being the original names for the Light side and Dark side respectively) rather than a reference to the Je'daii's Force-aligned moons of Tython, where one would be exiled to their respective side if they upset their inner BalanceOfGoodAndEvil, from ''ComicBook/DawnOfTheJedi''.

* The Marg Sabl maneuver (basically a space naval strategy taking advantage of the usual perception that SpaceIsAnOcean [[AvertedTrope by using all directions]]) first appeared in ''Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy'', but was also used canonically by Ahsoka Tano in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E19StormOverRyloth "Storm Over Ryloth"]]. (At the time, it was a CallForward.) The reference comes full-circle in ''Literature/ThrawnAlliances'', where Thrawn learns of the tactic from Padmé (who in turn learned it from Ahsoka). And it's established the name comes from a Togrutan flower.

* In ''Literature/OneThousandLevelsDown'', starblossom is mentioned as a fruit native to Alderaan, originating from ''[[Literature/TheCallistaTrilogy Children of the Force]]''. It's also worth noting that according to that book, starblossom also grew on the world of Belsavis. As said planet was also recanonized, [[HopeSpot it's possible Anandra and Milon could find starblossom again one day]].

** ''Series/TheMandalorian'' reintroduced the [[{{Pyromaniac}} Incinerator Stormtrooper ]]from ''The Force Unleashed'', which was a trooper with red markings on his armor [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin that carried a flamethrower]]. Interestingly, the Legends lore on the Incinerators stated they were also known to use mortars, [[InformedAttribute though this was never seen in game]]. ''The Mandalorian '' introduced another stormtrooper type in its second season with identical markings, [[PaletteSwap albeit in yellow instead of red]], called the Mortar Stormtrooper

** The Chiss society is slightly different than originally described in Legends. For example, in ''Literature/OutboundFlight'', the Ascendancy is ruled by the Nine Ruling Families, who are referred to by numbers. The Nine Ruling Families remain in canon, but now they're always referred to by name, never by number.

** Several other Thrawn-related characters are later introduced into canon by Zahn, including Captain Gilaad Pellaeon, Admiral Ar'alani, and Syndic Mitth'ras'sifis (only mentioned, and no relation to Thrawn this time). Chiss history is also a little different. Originally, the Chiss have never even heard of the Republic or the Jedi. Now, they have been tangentially affected by the war between the Sith Empire and the Republic thousands of years ago and are aware of the Force (which they refer to as Third Sight).

* Wayland (spelled “Weyland” in concept art) as well as the Imperial facility known as Mount Tantiss appear in the first season finale of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch''. While little is seen of it, it seems that the Empire still has some sort of cloning operation going on, as this is where Nala Se is sent following the evacuation of Kamino, and she’s greeted by a scientist wearing the same uniform as Imperial Remnant clone specialist [[Series/TheMandalorian Dr. Pershing]].

* Delta Squad from ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando Republic Commando]]'' was seen in the ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' episode [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E14WitchesOfTheMist "Witches of the Mist"]].
