Trivia
Carrie Fisher tells a Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977) joke in her opening monologue which includes a reference to Jabba the Hutt. The episode aired in 1978 but Jabba the Hutt didn't appear in a Star Wars movie until Le Retour du Jedi (1983) in 1983. The explanation is that Jabba was mentioned by name in the original release version of Star Wars by Greedo and Han.

Goofs
Near the end of Carrie Fisher's monologue, before it segues into the "Beach Blanket Bimbo from Outer Space" sketch, the camera cuts to a crew member testing out the blue screen that Fisher is going to use during the sketch.

Quotes
Carrie Fisher: [dressed as Princess Leia] I don't usually do jokes, but... here goes. Uh, there's this Bantha who's placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion R2 unit. Well, the Bantha knows it'll take a little while for the Nava-computer to calculate the coordinates. So, then... the Bantha goes over to Jabba the Hutt's bar, and he gets an idea. He says to Jabba, "My deflector shields are malfunctioning, can you put me up for the night?" Then Jabba says, "Well, there's a Jedi Knight convention in town, but... I guess you could stay in my Nebulan stabilizer with my daughter!
Carrie Fisher: [pauses] I don't know... you know, I think this might be a little too inside, you know?
Ob-Wan Kenobi: [disembodied voice] No, Carrie... trust your instincts.
