R2 leans out a port on the side of the Falcon and fires a pistol sideways at the TIE as if part of a gang-related drive-by shooting, continuing the series of borderline racist statements/actions made throughout the episode. His battle cry in Thai translates to "Die, all of you! I'll kill your father with my laser gun!" When Luke asks why the Tie Fighters are called Tie Fighters, one of the pilots starts yelling in Thai, homophonous to "Tie". TIE actually stands for Twin Ion Engine, a fact never revealed in the movies but explained in the Expanded Universe of Star Wars. The Imperial Pilots in the TIE fighters are wearing the colors of Thailand, hence, 'Thai Fighter'. Darth Vader/Stewie's final blow against Obi-wan is an elaborate pirouette/spin more reminiscent of Yoda's style from Episodes II and III, rather than the initial clumsy bladefighting that appears in Episode IV. Meg's only appearance in this episode is as the garbage-masher tentacle monster. The Imperial officer who greets Han, Luke, and Chewie in the prison area is Fouad, the character from a previous episode who taught Peter the 'humor' of sarcasm. Also in this scene is Coach McGuirk from Home Movies, Evil Monkey, and Bender from Futurama. When Luke and Obi Wan are walking into the Cantina, Roger from American Dad! can be seen talking with others in the foreground. When Han Solo/Peter puts on headphones and turns on a record player, the song "It Might Be You" by Stephen Bishop plays. One of the insects that flies into the bug-zapper is Watto, making him the only character exclusive to the prequel trilogy to appear in Laugh It Up Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy. A joke is made in which lightsabers are used by the locals on Tatooine as bug-zappers. When disembarking from the Jawa sandcrawler, C-3PO thanks a dot matrix printer "for the sex." "Dot Matrix" was the name of the robot character in Spaceballs, who was a parody of C-3P0. Since the Jawas were collectors of antique or out-dated robots, it turns out they also had acquired an "early 90's printer", which is an old-fashioned dot matrix printer.
