This episode is rife with Star Wars references. While Jack is in disguise, Princess Verbina asks him, "Aren't you a little short for a demonic minion?" Similarly, Princess Leia asks Luke Skywalker, "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?" while he is in disguise. Prince Astor states, "I have a bad feeling about this," which is a recurring line in the Star Wars franchise. Han Solo flies through an asteroid field to lose adversaries, as does Prince Astor. Aku states about Jack that he feels a presence he hasn't felt for a long time, as does Darth Vader about Obi Wan.
