The character of Lok Durd was intended to be a recurring villain according to George Takei, but did not make any other appearances in the series after this. He did however play a part in two Clone Wars tie-in novels written by Karen Miller: "Gambit: Stealth" and "Gambit: Siege", which were both released in 2010.
The 'Jedi fortune cookie' message that opens the show reads "When surrounded by war, one must eventually choose a side."
The Aqualish Technician Pune Zingat repeats the orders "ready, set, go" in Huttese, ending with the word "Keepuna" which also means 'shoot'.
George Takei voices Lok Durd, a member of the Neimoidian Trade Federation. He is best known for playing Sulu, a Starfleet officer in the Star Trek (1966) franchise.
