When Henry and Hook knock out the guard at Emma's prison, Henry refers to this as the "Wookiee prisoner transfer" ploy. This is a reference to the scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, where Han Solo and Luke Skywalker pretend Chewbacca is their prisoner in order to enter the Death Star's detention area and rescue Princess Leia. This reference is particularly interesting since the show creators have stated that they look at Hook as their version of Han Solo.

In addition, Emma's alias in the Enchanted Forest in the Season Three finale "Snow Drifts" and "There's No Place Like Home" was Princess Leia.

Sawyer references that in Lost as well, so I thought of that when I watched this episode.
