Emperor's
Royal Guards |
| The
red-cloaked personal protectors of the emperor make a background
appearance in Clones, but keep an eye out. They're there
for only a second. |
| |
|
Death
Star |
| This
one is pretty obvious, when the clones attack and the evil Count
Dooku is fleeing Geonosis, keep an eye out for a cameo of the
Death Star. |

The
Voice of Qui-Gon Jinn |
| When
Yoda is meditating and Anakin is killing the Tusken Raiders,
listen for the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson). George Lucas
advises Qui-Gon's words reveal a plot point for the coming Episode
3. |

Millenium
Falcon on Naboo |
| When
Anakin and Padmé arrive on Naboo, you'll spot three Millennium
Falcons in the background and at the docking station. (Keep
your eyes to the left of the screen.) |

Darth
Maul's Pattern |
| The
ceiling of the dining room at the Lars homestead — which
will become Luke Skywalker's future residence — on Tatooine
has a pattern similar to the tattoo on the mug of Darth Maul. |

Anthony
Daniels and Ahmed Best without Masks |
|
According
to Daniels , "I said to George Lucas that after five
films, I finally wanted to show my face in this movie. So
I'm also playing a character called Lieutenant Faytonni. I
get to wear a nice costume but I can't say anything more about
him. You will have to wait until the film comes out."

Avoiding
Deer on Coruscant |
|
There
is a deer-whistle attached to the yellow speeder used to chase
Zam Wessel in Coruscant. If you don't know, these are commonly
put on bumpers of cars to warn deer to get out of the way.

Javva
the Hutt |
| While
the end credits scroll along, look for the name "Michael Smith."
Mr. Smith is credited as "Javva the Hutt." He's not a character
in the film; he's the guy who got coffee for the cast and crew. |
| |
|
N'Sync
in Episode II |
| Lucasfilm
confirmed it. There are only three of the five N'Sync-ers in
the movie. It is only Lance, Joey, and Chris. They are Jedi
in one scene and there was a brief second scene shot where they
are in Naboo citizen garb. |

|
Shaaks
in Strange Places |
| There
are large, bulbous computer-generated creatures called shaaks
(sort of a cross between a cow and a big tick) living on the
grassy knolls of Naboo that show up in other places. As a joke,
special effects staffers turned one of them into an asteroid
floating among myriad dangerous space rocks. Another is hidden
among fighting machines during the film's climatic battle and
set of fire. |
