As the episode opens in Mos Eisley, one of the background droids is a recreation of an astromech originally seen roaming the spaceport city in Star Wars: A New Hope. The red-domed droid was named R3-T2 by the Star Wars Customizable Card Game in 1998, an identifier used by the Obi-Wan Kenobi production crew.

The whaling station that Obi-Wan toils at in his new life as Ben is carving apart the carcass of a downed tibidon sand whale, which is a larger sized relative of the tibidees seen in the Star Wars Rebels episode, “Rise of the Old Masters.” The design is a repurposed Ralph McQuarrie concept of a flying whale explored for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Although not said in the series, Obi-Wan’s eopie is named Akkani, a moniker that would be used in Marvel's Star Wars: Obi-Wan comic series that accompanied the show's release.

When young Leia is looking up at ships flying over Aldera, the Alderaan capital, she imagines that one of them is an Aquillian Ranger. The Aquillian Rangers are from early draft scripts of Star Wars: A New Hope, and the Merson Pirates that Leia mentions are from the '70s Marvel Star Wars comic series: fittingly, a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi faces the threat of Merson Pirates in Star Wars #24 (1979).

The ship Leia imagines the ranger flying is the Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus starfighter design, developed in collaboration between Lucasfilm’s Art Department and the designers at Porsche.

Young Princess Leia’s handmaiden who takes her place during the dressing scene is an Imroosian (the same species as Margo in Solo: A Star Wars Story). Agira is played by Molly Miller, who is also the stunt double for the roles of Leia and Luke in this series.

Queen Breha Organa promises there to be sweetmallows at the reception, which are a confection previously seen sold by vendor Aki-Akis on Pasaana in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Queen Breha’s sister is identified as Duchess Celly Organa, a name that had previously applied to Bail Organa’s sister in the Legends novel, Star Wars: Children of the Jedi. A re-examination of 1977 notes from George Lucas regarding Alderaanian culture made it clear the royal lineage and name extends through the queen’s side of the family, as seen in Bail Organa’s original title of Viceroy.

Star Wars' iconic droid duo, currently part of the House of Organa, make background appearances in the Alderaan reception hall -- C-3PO during the gathering, and R2-D2 after it.
