* YouDontLookLikeYou: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', he looks and sounds different from the preceding and following theatrical films. This is because the mask for Haako was lost after the filming of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', so they used the mask for Daultay Dofine instead. Because of the drastically different appearance, the Neimoidian seen with Nute Gunray on Geonosis was originally supposed to be Lott Dod, then because he didn't resemble Dod or sound like him, Lucasfilm renamed the character Gilramos Libkath... then for some reason chucked ''that'' and said it was Rune Haako, in open defiance of all evidence to the contrary.

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: The Trade Federation is based off of the real world British East India Company and Dutch East India Company, both historical trading companies who were known for having their own private armies and fleets, and remembered for their wars against various indigenous groups, most notably on the Indian subcontinent. Not coincidentally, the people of Naboo have names taken from Sanskrit, an ancient and classical Indian language - thus furthering the parallels between the Trade Federation and the aforementioned trading companies.

However because he doesn't have the doubts and regrets along with the complex history with Palpatine he had in ''Legends'', he comes off as much more of a cowardly AssholeVictim.
