- The name of Captain Gil's ship, the USS Minnow, could be an homage to the SS Minnow, the name of the boat that strands the survivors on Gilligan's Island.
- Major Bummer being a frail creature under a powerful suit of armor is likely a reference to Darth Vader of Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983).
