Concept Art and Trivia

With his wing-adorned helmet and a rotating blaster called the “Hammer,” Clone Commander Thorn is a nod toward the classic Marvel Comics superhero, Thor.

The super tactical droid known as Kraken has either recovered from his decapitation in the Lost Missions episode “The Unknown,” or this is a new version of that automaton.

Senator Riyo Chuchi is seen in the Senate, apparently voting with some enthusiasm for the Republic invasion of Scipio.

Bec Lawise, the speaker of the Separatist senate, was last seen in the Season Four episode, “A Friend in Need.”

When the Muuns cede control of the Banking Clan over to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine — and thus give Palpatine the financial means to build an empire — the camera that passes through the Senate chamber catches a disgusted Mon Mothma folding her arms in disapproval.
