This is the first Star Wars film to not be distributed by 20th Century Fox.This is the first Star Wars film not to open in the month of May.The animated version of Anakin Skywalker wears the same kind of neck and shoulder armor as Darth Vader.Dave Filoni has stated that this finally gives some credit to Uncle Owen's claim that 'Luke's father was a navigator on a spice freighter' from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). Skywalker continues using the ship during the Star Wars: The Clone Wars tv series. It is an old Corellian G9 Rigger Freighter.
The ship Anakin takes from the landing platform on Teth is called the Twilight.This is the first Star Wars film without Frank Oz providing the voice of Yoda.This was to reflect the scene in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) when R2-D2 watches over Padme while she slept at night. Some of the costumer's built a pink R2 (dubbed R2-KT) for Katie to provide her comfort in the last days of her life. The droid was created in the memory of Katie Johnson (daughter of the 501st Legion's founder Albin Johnson) who died of cancer at the young age of 7. This droid's name is R2-KT and was included as a way to honor the work of the 501st Legion (an international group of Star Wars costumers who perform countless hours of volunteer work for many charities). When Ahsoka is addressing the clones in the hanger bay a pink droid is standing next to R2-D2.George Lucas purposely did not use this iconic shot in any of the prequels so as not to lessen the impact of seeing it for the first time in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) (assuming one watches the films in chronological order). First Star Wars movie since Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) to feature an in-cockpit view of the jump to Hyperspace.
