Episode Quotes

Anakin Skywalker: I've got a bad feeling about this.

Anakin Skywalker: I lost R2 in the field.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: [via hologram] Well, R2 units are a dime a dozen. I'm sure you'll find a suitable replacement.
Anakin Skywalker: I could take a squad out there, track him down.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin, it's only a droid. You know attachment is not acceptable for a Jedi.

Anakin Skywalker: Pookums here really has her heart set on another R2. She lost the last one.
Ahsoka Tano: [whispering to herself] Pookums? Oh brother.

Trivia

The ATTE RUL3Z text seen in "Rookies" appears once again (though, technically, this one came first... and fits the context quite well), this time on Ahsoka's tactical screen aboard the Resolute. There's some additional text underneath too that says "TAKE THAT GRIEVOUS".
The two part 'Droid' storyline takes place before the three part 'Malevolence' one, which was broadcast first. The former explains show Ahsoka's maneuver between the Separatist frigates which leads Anakin to doubt her flying ability in the latter.
The music played at the beginning as the capital ships approach one another is excerpted from Wojciech Kilar's score for Bram Stoker's Dracula, specifically the track "Vampire Hunters."
This was the second episode to be produced. The first episode became part of Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The 'Jedi fortune cookie' message that opens the show reads "Trust in your friends, and they'll have reason to trust in you." In the original script it was "Friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, impossible to forget."
