Fandom Rivalry: The author's stated reason for choosing Star Wars as a crossover property was that there weren't a lot of people doing pony/SW crossovers compared to other properties. Turns out one of the reasons for this is certain vocal Star Wars fans who hate ponies with a passion and will vitriolically abuse any attempt to taint their obsession with pastel-hoofed quadrupeds.
Fridge Horror: The ingredient bags in the kitchens of Jabba's palace are labeled 'offal'.
Harsher in Hindsight: Moontear's statement that she had to take voice lessons to sound less like Rainbow Dash. Considering that it was later revealed that Rainbow's fan club became a terrorist organization after she was frozen in crystal, those lessons might have been a matter of survival.
Memetic Mutation: The comic uses several pony fandom memes, such as the Twilicane and Sweetie-Bot, as one-off gags.
Viewer Gender Confusion: Because of her short mane and immature features, Skywalker is easily mistaken for a colt instead of a young mare. Meanwhile, because she uses the princess muzzle shape (which is very similar to the stallion one), Lace sometimes looks more masculine.
