There's a reference to the first Star Wars movie, "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope."

When Admiral Karath is interrogating the player, Bastila, and Carth, he asks for the location of the hidden Jedi Academy on Dantooine. One dialogue option has the player saying, "Alderaan. It's on Alderaan."

In the movie, Grand Moff Tarkin interrogates Princess Leia asking for the location of the secret Rebel base to which she replies with, "Dantooine. They're on Dantooine." Tarkin knows this is a lie and then proceeds to use the Death Star to destroy Leia's home planet of Alderaan. In the game, Darth Malak, the game's main antagonist, bombards Dantooine, resulting in the destruction of the Jedi Academy.
