- The name of this episode is a reference to Douglas Adam's So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
- It is one of only a handful of episodes where the title was not taken from a quote from the show itself.
- Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call from Chris Radtke. One last ditch attempt to get the guys to not do the Prequels.
- Here Alex reveals that he's never listened to an episode of the show.
- This episode does not use the normal closing theme for the ROTJ season; it uses a version of the Ewok Celebration song.
