The ship Anakin takes from the landing platform on Teth is called "The Twilight". It is an old Corellian G9 Rigger Freighter. Skywalker continues using the ship during the Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) television series.

Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu), Sir Christopher Lee (Count Dooku), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), and Matthew Wood (Battle Droids) are the only actors to reprise their roles from the live-action Star Wars film franchise.
