Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Let the Wookiee Win: When in Nem'ro's Palace Cantina on Hutta you can see a Wookiee and his protocol droid opponent (whose arms have both been ripped off) contemplating a game of Dejarik. This is a reference to R2-D2 and C-3PO learning an important lesson from Han Solo while playing Chewbacca in Dejarik aboard the Milennium Falcon.

Han Shot First: Inside Nem'ro the Hutt's Palace Cantina on Hutta you can find a Human Smuggler named Hun Duo conversing with a Rodian Quickshot named Greepo. This is a reference to the encounter between Han Solo and Greedo in the cantina in Mos Eisley.

326-3827: While getting the Cunning Datacron on Nar Shadaa, you will find yourself inside a garbage incinerator. To escape, you will need to choose a code in a maintenance console to open the energy door. The correct code is 326-3827, which just so happens to be the number of the Trash Compactor unit that Luke, Han, Chewbacca, and Leia were trapped in on the Death Star.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Bounty Hunters: On the Bridge Deck of the Ziost Shadow (Imperial Fleet) you will see a group of NPCs. In this group is an imposing figure in black armor (Darth Vader) talking to a stocky man with a headwrap (Dengar), a droid that is rather tall and thin (IG-88), a person in Mandalorian armor (Boba Fett), another droid that looks more like a protocol droid than a battle droid (4-LOM), a Trandoshan in a yellow flight jacket (Bossk), and a Gand in a cloak (Zuckuss). This is a reference to the scene where Darth Vader is instructing the bounty hunters to capture Han Solo alive.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Heroes of the Republic: There is a Republic quest on Corellia in Axial Park to Restore the Statues of eight Republic heroes that have been deactivated by Mandalorians. They are none other than the non-droid heroes from KOTOR: Bastila Shan, Carth Onasi, Canderous Ordo, Juhani, Zaalbar, Mission Vao, Jolee Bindo, and Revan.

A Night at the Roxbury

What is Love?: In Nem'ro the Hutt's Palace Cantina you can see two customers and a dancer interacting in a parody of the recurring Saturday Night Live skit "The Roxbury Guys" and the spin-off 1998 movie "A Night at the Roxbury," featuring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan dancing to Haddaway's song "What is Love?".

Batman and Robin

Nocturno and Drake Raven: In the cantina on Zakuul, two characters can be found in the cantina named Nocturno and Drake Raven that bear strong resemblence to Batman and Robin.

Halo

Master Chief: While in Talloran Village, in the hut with an NPC for the Scavenger Hunt quest, look for a table with a poster of what greatly resembles Master Chief from Halo.

Assassin's Creed

Subject 13, Subject 16: During the Subject 13 quest on Belsavis you will encounter Subject 13, an NPC trapped in a Rakata mind trap who is in a similar situation to Subject 16 (Clay Kaczmarek) from Assassin's Creed: Revelations, who is trapped as a consciousness within the Animus. Both individuals at one point wish to find a body to transport their consciousness back into the real world.

Tomb Raider

Lara Croft: On Alderaan you can find a Sith Lord NPC named Ar'al Tforc (German version), which is Lara Croft spelled backwards. He has since been renamed Ar'al Anec in the English version.

EVE Online

PLEX: In the Esseles flashpoint you can find an NPC named Navigator Plex, which is a reference to PLEX - a currency used in EVE Online.

Triggered by facing Darth Malgus as a Sith Inquisitor:

Darth Malgus: We meet again Darth Nox/Occulus/Imperius.

Triggered by facing Darth Malgus as a Sith Warrior:

Darth Malgus: The Emperors Wrath. Fitting that we meet within his Chambers. He was kind enough to keep his throne warm for me.

Darth Malgus: Finally, the Empire's faithful, stubborn servant.

Triggered by facing Darth Malgus as a Bounty Hunter:

Darth Malgus: We meet again mercenary.

Triggered by facing HK-47 with HK-51 as your companion (Empire):

HK-51: Reassurance: The 47 series is an inferior model, master. Easily dismantled.
