The device Omega and Wrecker are seeking in the junkyard is a compressor, the same object removed from the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Phee's droid Mel-221 is a unique design that features a barrel-like body, not unlike a standard astromech unit with legs and feet similar to a gonk droid.

The compass Omega discovers in the junkyard shares some resemblance to the star compass seen in Luke Skywalker's hut in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a prop originally sketched by Star Wars: The Bad Batch creator Dave Filoni.

This treasure-hunting episode is heavily inspired by the adventures of another Lucasfilm relic seeker: Indiana Jones. While the influences can be felt throughout, one particularly memorable moment comes when Phee enters the chamber containing the Heart of the Mountain. The chamber itself is laid out similar to the Peru temple that holds the Fertility Idol in the opening of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The scene in Star Wars: The Bad Batch pays homage to the moment from Raiders by replicating it almost shot for shot, with Phee in place of Indy and Omega in place of Satipo, Indy's local guide.
