The portrait of Duchess Satine Kryze in the Mandalore Royal House is reminiscent of a Picasso painting.
This episode shows the close friendship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and a duchess named Satine. In Moulin Rouge! (2001), Ewan McGregor (who played Obi-Wan in the prequels) is in love with a woman named Satine, who is engaged to a Duke - which would make her a duchess upon marriage.
The Coruscant park with the four distinctive cones is taken from a painting Ralph McQuarrie made for the 1995 book 'The Illustrated Star Wars Universe'. In the middle is another element from the same book (but from a different painting): the last remaining bare rock on the city planet known as Monument Plaza. This boulder is modeled after one found on the road to Lucasfilm Animation's northern California headquarters.
The 'Jedi fortune cookie' message that opens the show reads "In war, truth is the first casualty."
The Mandalorian assassin on Coruscant is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who coincidentally voices the Clone Troopers, clones of Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett.
