* ShoutOut: The entire storyline of the ''Malevolence'' is taken directly from the real-life hunt for the German Battleship ''Bismarck'' by the British Royal Navy during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Each episode parallels the three major parts of that event, which is known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rhein%C3%BCbung Operation Rheinübung]]. The airstrike targeting the ''Malevolence'' that is the focus of this episode parallels the multiple airstrikes conducted by British Aircraft Carriers to find and destroy the ''Bismarck'' before she reached the safety of German-controlled France. The ending of the episode in which the airstrike managed to cripple the ''Malevolence'' by disabling the hyperdrive also parallels the final British Carrier airstrike that managed to cripple the ''Bismarck'' by damaging her rudders.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Grievous chooses to simply focus on causing mass casualties with the ion cannon rather than pay any attention to the ships trying to destroy it, even as he's under attack. Had he prioritized defeating the enemy attackers first, he might've succeeded. Instead, he prioritized destroying the medical facility. Naturally, the ''Malevolence'' gets damaged and Count Dooku orders him to do nothing other than follow his orders.
