    Famous voice actor Dee Bradley Baker is credited with voicing the clone troopers during Cal's flashbacks, reprising his role from the series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where he did the voice for every clone trooper seen throughout the entire series. In Star Wars video games, Baker frequently trades off voicing the clones as well as Jango Fett and Boba Fett with Temuera Morrison, known for playing Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones (2002) and Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett (2022), as well as other voice actors. The voice of the clones is based on Morrison's actual voice.

Now, with his role in this game, Monaghan is once again following in Hamill's footsteps, this time as a young Jedi.

    During his first training flashback (while relearning to wall-run), Cal's Jedi Master Jaro Tapal instructs him to do it again "faster, with more intensity." This is a direct reference to a young George Lucas, who repeatedly gave his actors these same instructions while filming Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

    The junkyard on Bracca is mostly comprised of Clone Wars-era Venator-class Jedi cruisers (the precursors to the Imperial Star Destroyers) used by the Republic in the later years of the war. Amongst the wreckage of the many starships can be seen AT-TEs and LAATs, as well as the Lucrehulk-class starship of the CIS which is featured in a cutscene in the first level of the campaign.

    During the playthrough on the training planet of Bracca, the scene that unfolds with Cal Kestis revealing himself to the Second Sister that he is a Jedi by unsheathing his lightsaber to avenge Prauf's death is reminiscent of the scene from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) where Galen Erso tries to stop Orson Krennic from killing all the scientists. In both scenes the antagonist kills innocents regardless of the heroic act.

    The first part of the main mission on Dathomir requires Cal to fight his way through the ruins against the Nightbrothers, who are attacking him at the urging of the Nightsister later revealed to be Merrin. The reveal of living Nightsisters and Nightbrothers differs slightly from when Maul brings the Jedi padawan Ezra Bridger to Dathomir in the Star Wars: Rebels episode Visions and Voices. Maul says he is the last of his kind. While the events of Fallen Order take place before Rebels, Merrin is alive at the end of the game. The Nightbrothers are supposedly killed by Cal. However, there are other tribes on Dathomir. One can only assume that Maul must mean he is the last of Mother Talzin's people.
