* The Broadsword sequence is clearly inspired by the [[starwars:Trench run|trench run]] [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|on the Death Star]] in ''[[starwars:Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]''. Like [[starwars:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], John-117 must pilot a one-man fighter through a system of narrow chasms, (dodging point-defense fire along the way), to destroy a superweapon. He cannot travel above the surface of the trench because the Broadsword cannot survive in slipspace, much as Luke must stay below the minimum angle of the Death Star's surface guns. Both protagonists receive timely assistance from allied ships, clearing a path to their objectives, which allows them to destroy their respective targets. Both John and Skywalker are greeted by honor guards after rendezvousing with their peers. | * The Broadsword sequence is clearly inspired by the [[starwars:Trench run|trench run]] [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|on the Death Star]] in ''[[starwars:Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]''.

* The scene in which the Composer is fired on New Phoenix resembles the ''[[memory-alpha:Narada|Narada]]''{{'}} attacks on [[memory-alpha:Vulcan (alternate reality)|Vulcan]] and [[memory-alpha:Starfleet Academy|Starfleet Academy]] in the 2009 film [[memory-alpha:Star Trek (film)|''Star Trek'']]. The camera angle in [[:File:H4-ComposerFiringOnPhoenix.jpg|this sequence]] is nearly identical to the [[memory-alpha:File:Narada drill platform over San Francisco.jpg|establishing shot]] of ''Narada''{{'}}s drill platform over San Francisco, albeit mirrored. The continous orange beams fired by the Composer and the ''Narada'' also look very similar. | * The scene in which the Composer is fired on New Phoenix resembles the ''[[memory-alpha:Narada|Narada]]''{{'}} attacks on [[memory-alpha:Vulcan (alternate reality)|Vulcan]] and [[memory-alpha:Starfleet Academy|Starfleet Academy]] in the 2009 film [[memory-alpha:Star Trek (film)|''Star Trek'']].
