Just before Anakin goes to search for his mother on Tatooine, he has a conversation with Senator Amidala. The camera pans to their shadows as they talk, and Anakin's resembles that of Darth Vader. According to the DVD commentary, the Vader-like shadow that Anakin casts was not a visual effect, but a coincidence.

During rehearsals and filming of Count Dooku's light-saber battle scenes, a small model of Yoda was used as a reference point for Sir Christopher Lee. The model, however, was slightly altered to have vampire fangs, to which Lee's amused response was "I will not comment on that. I didn't think you would do this to me, George!" The fangs were likely a joke at Lee's expense for his performance as Count Dracula in Horror of Dracula (1958) and several other Hammer Studios horror films.

The spin-off video game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (2002), which is a prequel to this film, reveals how Jango Fett was chosen as the genetic model for the clone army. Jango Fett was hired, along with other bounty hunters, by Count Dooku, to hunt down and eliminate Komari Vosa, Dooku's former apprentice, which Jango Fett succeeded in doing. Count Dooku revealed that that the bounty hunt was a test, and that the bounty hunter that succeeded in killing Komari Vosa, would go with Count Dooku to Kamino to be cloned, which Fett agreed, on the condition that he wanted one unaltered clone for himself - Boba Fett.

The fight between Yoda and Count Dooku was envisioned quite differently. Originally, Yoda was to come in and immediately have the fight with Count Dooku, but many of the creative team felt that was too quick a transition for Yoda, and the audience needed to feel the power of good and evil going against each other, so George Lucas added in the preamble to the fight with the blue lightning and rock falls, because it showed how powerful Yoda was. The light-saber battle was a culmination of all that energy. There was also footage shot of Count Dooku using either Obi-Wan's or Anakin's light-saber in addition to his own against Yoda, but these moves did not make the final cut.

Because he wanted to be able to identify himself during the colosseum scene, Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) specifically asked George Lucas if he could have a purple light-saber. Lucas replied that Jedi light-sabers were only blue or green, to which Jackson said "Yeah, but I want a purple one." Lucas said he'd consider the request. Jackson says he didn't know how it would turn out until he went in for re-shoots, which is when Lucas showed him the scene containing his purple light-saber.
