List of Legends elements in the films

Elements from the Star Wars Legends continuity have appeared in the Star Wars films, mainly the prequel trilogy. Most of these are brief appearances or Easter eggs. However, others are more substantial.

The prequel trilogy also has many references to names and elements introduced in the television series Star Wars Droids due to Ben Burtt's large involvement in both, not the least of which is the cameo by himself as Ebenn Q3 Baobab in The Phantom Menace.

The reverse process is also true: many Legends works gave names and/or background information to nearly every element shown in the films. Additionally, the Visual Dictionary series, along with other official sources such as "What's The Story?," has also introduced many retcons, thus "creating" Legends depictions in films—e.g. the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary identifies Count Dooku's tunic in Revenge of the Sith as being created on Vjun, a planet found heretofore strictly in Legends. The significance of these identifications, for the most part, is downplayed in this article.

After the reboot of 2014, Legends material has been harvested for use in the new continuity, and films including Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens borrowed Legends material.
