List of Legends elements in the films

C-canon elements from licensed Expanded Universe creators have been known to appear in the Star Wars films. Most of these are brief, cameo appearances, almost taking the form of Easter Eggs, but others are more substantial.

The Prequel Trilogy has also many references to names and elements introduced in Star Wars: Droids due to Ben Burtt's large involvement in both

Episode I

 * The Force Speed ability, used by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to evade droidekas. Was first created for the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game
 * Prince Xizor a spectator at the Mos Espa Arena. A Micro Machines model of the Shadows of the Empire villain was used to populate the crowd, possibly randomly, without canonical significance.
 * The name "Coruscant" was originally used by Timothy Zahn in the Thrawn trilogy of novels. Lucas was going to include the capital world of Had Abbadon in Return of the Jedi, but adopted Zahn's name for Imperial Center when presenting the planet in the Special Edition and prequel movies.
 * Tund, the planet Ben Quadinaros was from in The Phantom Menace, first mentioned in the Adventures of Lando Calrissian while its species, the Toong, is mentioned in Droids.
 * The Aurebesh that appears is the one created by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game based on those characters.
 * "Boonta Eve Classic" resembles a race known as the "Boonta Race" where the droids ends up in the fourth episode of the Droids series A Race to the Finish.

Episode II

 * Aayla Secura. Appeared as a significant, albeit minor, character in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. She is the second victim of Order 66, as seen in Episode III
 * Action VI Transports, initially appeared as the Wild Karrde in Heir to the Empire, they also arrive at the Theed Spaceport in Attack of the Clones.
 * The planet Rishi, introduced in Dark Force Rising, was given a mention via the Rishi Maze in Attack of the Clones.
 * The swamp planet of Bogden is a planet visited by the droids in the series. In Attack of the Clones, Jango Fett says that he was "hired by a man named Tyranus on the moons of Bogden."
 * The diner in an episode of the series has a strong similarity to Dex's Diner as seen in Attack of the Clones.

Episode II

 * Quinlan Vos mentioned (as 'Master Vos') by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Jedi briefing room. The look of Vos' character was based on a background extra seen at the Mos Espa café in The Phantom Menace. A cameo appearance of this character was planned but not filmed.
 * Nee Alavar, a background character, was identified as a Lorrdian. The Lorrdian people first appeared in the novel Han Solo's Revenge.
 * The sinkhole grottos of Utapau bear a striking resemblance to the pirate caves on Tarnoonga as seen in the Droids the episode, The Pirates of Tarnoonga
 * The wheel bike, the vehicle of choice for General Grievous, when in a chase with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, was Jann Tosh's vehicle and was seen in the Droids animated series as confirmed by StarWars.com

Remastered Old Trilogy

 * Swoop bikes. In the special edition scenes added to A New Hope, a swoop bike scares a ronto.
 * The Outrider and with it, the YT-2400 freighters in general. Minor cameo, seen from distance lifting off from Mos Eisley, in the special scenes added to A New Hope for the Special Edition.
 * The Aurebesh that appears in the original trilogy is nonsense characters. West End Games created an original signification with English letters for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game based on those characters. This new alphabet has been used in prequel trilogy and the remastered original trilogy
