Behind the scenes
Edit
- In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, when the Gungans realize the battle droids have shut down, the one pushed over by Jar Jar Binks has "1138" in Trade Federation Basic numerals on its backpack. The display on Darth Maul's macrobinoculars shows Trade Federation Basic, but the text is gibberish.
- In HoloNet News Vol. 531 49, in the news story "15 Dead in Houk / Weequay Brawl at Eastport", a screen in the Eastport processing station says "GATE 24".



- In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode The Citadel, the tactical droid's computer screen reads "SEPARATIST ESCORT SHUTTLE CLASS TYPE B" . "SCAN COMPLETE" . "SUPPLIES" . "BEVERAGES" . "FOOD" . "MORE FOOD" . "GUNS" . "GENERAL SUPPLIES" . "FROZEN RATIONS" . "ANAKIN SKYWA[obscured]" . "CARBONITE" . "METAL". The bottom of the screen, seen in the wideshots (barely visible), says "DESTROY" and "LET PASS".
- In The Clone Wars episode The Wrong Jedi, when Anakin Skywalker is talking to Asajj Ventress in the Coruscant Underworld, a large sign shows Trade Federation Basic. It says "CATO".
