Starvin' Marvin in Space/Trivia

Trivia

 * Final appearance of Starvin' Marvin. (though he appears in the final crowd in "I'm a Little Bit Country")
 * The song in the credits is the song from Trey Parker and Matt Stone's band DVDA called "I am Chewbacca".
 * There are many references to Star Wars and Star Trek throughout the episode - for example, Kenny is frozen in carbonite and Sally Struthers looks like Jabba the Hutt (Star Wars) while the Marklar ship is armed with photon torpedoes, the Marklar planet is in galaxy Alpha Ceti 6 and the interior of the Christian ship and Struthers' cruiser both resemble the general layout of the USS Enterprise bridge (Star Trek).
 * When entering a warp zone escaping Sally Struthers and the missionaries, Kenny is seen with Starvin' Marvin and the other three boys in the ship although back then Kenny was left with the CIA and the American Gov.
 * When the CIA come for the four boys, Cartman claims Kyle "went number two in the urinal", going "number two" in a urinal is later a major part of the plot for the episode "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce".
 * The red button that Cartman presses to activate the wormhole to Marklar, is also the same button he pressed earlier that activated the song.
 * The spaceship's windshield is light blue. But in one brief shot, it turned red.
 * Kenny actually managed to survive the events of the episode, merely being frozen in carbonite, which is not fatal (most of the time).
 * The wormhole effect is very similar to the parallel universe gateway in "Spookyfish".

Kenny's Death

 * Kenny is shown frozen in carbonite near the end of the episode. In the Star Wars movies, Han Solo is frozen in carbonite and is then revived to normal later on. This means that if South Park follows the Star Wars cannon; Kenny could potentially be restored, although no such thing is done or talked about. This is one of the few episodes (prior to season 6) where Kenny does not officially die.

Goofs

 * The first time Marvin and the boys are in the wormhole (that teleports them to Marklar), there is a shot of all five of them in the cockpit yelling from the intense speed the ship is traveling (with a strange "ripple" visual effect covering the screen, to indicate they are in the wormhole.) The second time the ship goes through the worm hole, Kenny was left back on earth and is not on the ship. Yet, the exact same clip from before is shown with all five of them in the cockpit, including Kenny.
 * The red button that played the theme music for the rocket ship was also the same one that transported them into the wormhole.
