Season 1

The Duel

One of the village defenders is a Tusken Raider who stops to celebrate after killing one of the bandits.... and then gets promptly blasted backwards by a hail of blaster bolts.
- Note the way said Raider gloats — it's the staff-pumping, gutteral-laughing posture from A New Hope, combining a Shout-Out with Black Comedy!

Boba Fett getting launched from Gee's flamethrower-bass guitar off stage into the crowd below, before getting carried away crowd-surfing style.
Jabba's tail tapping and Boba Fett's head nodding in time with the band's music during the concert at the episode's climax, showing that the most brutal crime lord and his chief enforcer are actually enjoying the music.
The concert is transmitted across Tatooine, showing various locales from the films as people stop to watch and listen. We see Mos Eisley, Mos Espa...and a small, secluded hermitage out in the Jundland Wastes, suggesting that even Obi-Wan Kenobi is watching!
- Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes are also watching the feed with expressions that say "Oh boy, we probably gotta step up our game, guys!"

This entire episode could be called Crazy Is Cool: The Episode. It starts with two star destroyers glued together with a superweapon, and only escalates from there. It's so ridiculously over the top that you just have to laugh.
- At one point, both main characters end up fighting on the hull of their ship, and don't seem inconvenienced in the slightest from the lack of air. Then one of their droids shows up, and it's the only one to wear a breathing apparatus. The humans can breathe and even talk in space, while the droid needs breathing gear.
As Karre tries to sneak away with the crystal, he tries to assure his droid partner that they were going to be fine and that they wouldn't be caught. Cue the doors opening to show a crowd of stormtroopers aiming their guns at Karre.
Karre: (after his droid beeps at him) Okay, you told me so.
R-DUO's response to Karre's dithering over whether or not to commit to the final, frankly balls-out insane maneuver against Am is to gun the hyperdrive, effectively forcing Karre to man up and do the thing.

There's an element of Black Comedy that during Asu and Haru's wedding, the village's situation is so dire that the waiter starts getting drunk in front of our protagonists.
Despite only appearing for about a minute, the Separatist battle droids still provide some humor when they start talking.

The old droid pilot. He initially refuses to fly Kara because she came to him during his coffee break, his slow walk to his ship causes an exasperated Kara to try (read: fail) to push him to get him to go faster, he shouts in glee while flying his ship out of the atmosphere, and comments that Kara's got "nice moves" while watching her fight the Sith.
During the battle against the Sith, Kara's droid can be seen cheering her on while she's fighting for her life.
With the reveal that the massive droid was actually a Mini-Mecha piloted by the Margrave, it become obvious that he was having a lot of fun fooling the Sith, such as when he called himself an old fool cooped up in his castle. His tone of voice when saying "I have been here the entire time" also comes across as him gloating.

How do we know T0-B1 won his fight? Him holding up an OK sign with his remaining arm.
Mitaka tells T0-B1 the Force can be found everywhere. T0-B1 goes out to search for the Force behind rocks.

Yasaburo is initially against the idea of adopting Lop, until Ochō forces his hand by making him honor-bound to do so, which goes to show that she is Daddy's Girl.
The idea that Lop is now the second major member of an anthropomorphic rabbit species of aliens as a cute anime bunny girl, in contrast to Jaxxon being a green cartoonish expy of Bugs Bunny born from the Early-Installment Weirdness of the '70's Star Wars comics, is mindbogglingly hilarious.

Season 2

Just the fact that they let Aardman Animations loose in their playground.
Dennis Lawson returns to his role as Wedge Antilles... and gets more lines in this episode than the entire Trilogy.
- Wedge spends most of the short plugging his merchandise, which even extends into the end credits with Wedge assuring everyone the proceeds from the sales are going to the "pilot specific veteran support fund."
Julan is talking to Anni while behind her, a screen shows her mother mugging for the camera. Their body and arm movements synch almost perfectly.
As revealed in the behind-the-scenes extras, one of the stalls at the marketplace is selling items that previously belonged to Luke Skywalker.... including his severed hand.
At the starting line, one of the racer teams taunts the Wookiee family. In response, the baby of the Wookiee family rips the arms off of their doll while staring straight at the other team. The other team quickly lock the hatch on their ship.
The Kalfus’s laundry rains as Kalina lands her ship on the racetrack, with one of her bras landing on the starter’s face. Turns out, contrary to what George Lucas told Carrie Fisher, there really are bras in space.
The Van Reeple's ship using a tiny Death Star to shoot at the other racers.
