20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

The last of the many, many famous movie connections present in this captivating animated saga that will be mentioned here, Star Wars' numerous pirate personalities on show in The Clone Wars inevitably led to one rather comical tribute.

Showing up in 'The Box' episode found in season four, a one-time pirate and now bounty hunter by the name of Kiera Swan joins the other killers-for-hire invited to compete in the titular competition.

And if that name feels a bit familiar, it's likely because the two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere bounty hunter competition was given it as a reference to another much-loved franchise.

Star Wars alum Kiera Knightly, who played Sabé in Episode I - The Phantom Menace, also brought the eventual Pirate King Elizabeth Swan to life in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. So, the show's creators seemingly combined the names of the actor and character to create this Weequay pirate tribute.

Oh, and that aforementioned Obsidian Sphere competition? That was a nod to the Black Pearl ship, too. (via StarWars.com)
