Behind the scenes

Within the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 iterations of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, players are awarded the trophy/achievement "And the Quarterback is Toast!" upon defeating Boba Fett. This is a reference to the initial skit, specifically Boba Fett's line after using a heat-seeking missile to destroy an Ewok, which itself is a nod to Die Hard.

The name Dr. Ball is later used again for a character in Star Wars Rebels. This character was also an IT-O interrogator droid.
