The place where Padmé and Anakin walk on Naboo is the Plaza the Espana of Sevilla in Spain (you can see the same place in Lawrence of Arabia).
According to the DVD commentary, Anakin's shadow on Tatooine (before he leaves the Lars' to find Shmi) was not digitally altered to resemble Darth Vader's helmet. It was pure coincidence.
C-3PO was originally to have made his first appearance still in skeletal form. In post-production, Star Wars creator George Lucas decided to have C-3PO be complete throughout the film.
The Trade Federation's ships are almost the exact same design as E.T.'s in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
The red aiming screen of Zam Wessel's binoculars is the same kind as that seen on the Millenium Falcon when the TIE fighters attack it after the escape from the Death Star in Episode IV.
One of the inside jokes by the ILM crew concerns the cow-like creatures that Anakin rides on Naboo. One can be found in the asteroid field surrounding Geonosis, and one can be seen during the Battle of Geonosis, in the background, running, and on fire.
In the floating pear scene, we see what type of cutlery they used a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It turns out to have been designed by the great Danish designer Arne Jacobsen, who is famous for his egg-shaped chair. But there may be a reason that Lucas used this cutlery - aside from looking futuristic, it is also the cutlery they use in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Two of the guns used in Attack of Clones, the Coruscant Guard Blaster (actually a BSA .30-06 hunting rifle) and Naboo Guard Blaster (actually a Calico Liberty Carbine) are recycled from the movie Space Truckers.
In the great library of the Jedi Temple, there are statues of great Jedis. Among them you can see George Lucas, Rob Coleman (animation director), John Knoll (visual effects), Pablo Helman (visual effects) and Brian Gernand (chief modelist).
One of the Aurebesh inscriptions is on the Dex's Diner droid waitress. She has a label on her chest saying 'Flo'.
In the bar, the man who offers Obi-Wan "death sticks" is Mouse from the Matrix.
Somewhere in the orbital traffic of Coruscant there is the Orion III shuttle of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Dex's Diner is an homage to American Graffiti where you can see a restaurant like it.
In the scene in Lars' workshop where Anakin is fixing the shifter, Padme enters and they talk. As the scene cuts to Anakin you can clearly see Luke's brown Landspeeder sitting in the background under some junk.
The reason there are four pillars at the Genosian arena is that Lucas was thinking of having R4 tied up as well. He later changed his mind.
The scene where Obi-Wan is fighting off the acklay (the giant praying mantis/lobster-like monster) with a spear was used to pay tribute to a shot from the 1961 Ray Harryhausen classic, Mysterious Island, in which a gigantic crab threatens a spear-wielding human.
One of the droids in the arena battle has 1138 written on his back.
