In case anyone wants to copy and paste a list of rumored Easter Eggs or other interesting and often unnoticed items (from this board and a couple of others) to try and confirm, deny, or clarify them, here it is. Also, if you have one to add, please post it here. I cannot confirm most of these, though if I have a confirmation I will try to note it, and post a url link if available:
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones – Easter Egg Hunt
1. You can clearly see Ahmed Best (Jar Jar), Anthony Daniels (C-3P0) in the nightclub scene. They were both well dressed in a green/grey type colored uniform which made them both look very respectable.
2. Lucas' daughter Katie is scene in the film as a dancer in the nightclub. [Note: Confirmed].

3. Lucas' son Jett plays a Jedi-in-training during the Yoda child training scene. [Note: Confirmed].

4. After talking to Obi-Wan, Jocasta Nu talks to Lucas' son whom you can clearly see as well.
5. George Lucas in the senate hearings, It is an over the shoulder shot of mostly the top of his head. It is immediately after a shot of some Rodians. He's on the left side of one of the senate pods, bottom right hand of the screen.
6. When Anakin kisses Padme in front of the Lars Homestead before going to look for Shmi, the camera view only shows their shadows against the house. Anakin's shadow looks like Darth Vader's. [Note: I have carefully viewed the scene referenced, and I really don’t think you can see a Vader shadow.]

7. When Obi-Wan is walking through the Jedi temple to talk to Yoda (while Yoda is teaching the padawans) a jedi passes behind him that seems to be Howard the Duck as a Jedi.
8. When Anakin and Padme's transport arrives at the spaceport on Naboo , you can see three Corellian Freighters (look exactly like the Millenium Falcon) parked nearby. They are at the very end of the transport-landing shot - the camera pulls back and they come into view on the left side. [NOTE: Confirmed]

9. You can see the number 1138 (part of the name of Lucas’ first film) in the scene with Jango Fett, on the Slave I cockpit. It is right by Jango.
10. The tip of an X-Wing fighter is seen on the shot of the ship that Anakin and Padme were leaving for Naboo on.
11. In the Obi Wan hanging from the droid sequence, the droid bumps into a building's side to try to dump him and just behind him is the spindle thing that Luke was hanging off under Cloud City at the end of ESB.
12. During the opening Coruscant chase scene, you can see X-Wings and TIE Fighters racing down one of the trenches.
13. The transport from Disney's Star Tours ride (which is specifically based on Star Wars and approved by Lucas) can be seen in Coruscant traffic during the scene before Anakin and Padme's departure from Coruscant. You can also see a Star Tours vehicle on Naboo when Anakin and Padme land there. It is the scene immediately after you see the three Correllian fighters. [Note: I have seen the first shot, and I agree, it looks an awful lot like the Star Tours “ship”.]
http://tatooine.qc.ca/episode-ii/images/Coruscant.jpg .
14. The scene of everyone sitting around the Lars dinner table discussing Shimi's abduction and attempts to find her, as well as her rescue are based on the 1956 film The Searchers. Also, a character whose family member is abducted in The Searchers is named Lars.
15. The scene with Palpatine and his cronies watching the clone army returning to Coruscant is based on famous footage and photos of Hitler inspecting his troops from a Nazi Headquarters balcony in Berlin.
16. There are faces carved in the rocks on Tatooine (you can see them, while Anakin rides on his speeder bike and near the Tusken Camp).
17. Right before Dooku leaves the hanger with his speeder bike there is someone in the hanger, in the foreground, seeing Dooku off, who is wearing a helmet that looks like Vader’s helmet.
18. Not really an easter egg, but something many people miss, the voice you hear yelling “Anakin, Anakin Noooo!’ when Anakin slaughters the Tuskin Raiders, as the view switches to Yoda meditating, is the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn. In the book, Yoda hears this voice as well, and is disturbed by it, thinking that it should not be possible.
19. The bust Obi-Wan was staring at in the Jedi Library was Count Dooku, taken from a cut scene where the Librarian explains that Dooku is the most recent of only 20 Jedi to have ever left the order.
20. Darth Vader breathes during Yoda's meditation when he senses Anakin in danger.
21. The future Royal Imperial Guard can be seen. One set is red robed guards in the chancellor’s office. Latter, right before the senate vote over the war powers acts, there is a blue guard outside the main door.
22. On Tatooine, when Anakin and Padmé go to Watoo’s, they pass an astromechtrics droid that looks a lot like the one that shorts out in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
23. Several Klingon Birds of Prey can be seen flying in the background on Coruscant.
24. There is a shot of Coruscant from above that shows the various city lights on the planet’s surface. One area is a distinct Fractal Mandelbrot. [Note: I have seen this shot, and I agree, it does look exactly like a Mandelbrot.]
http://www.benandgrover.com/ep2/trailers/fl040.jpg .
25. The ALIEN from the movies "Alien", “Aliens", etc.. can be seen in the clouds on Naboo. Top left over Padme while she is doing that "sound of Music" scene. [Note: Yes, this sounds very far fetched. I don’t know. The poster seems very convinced.]
26. There is a character that looks a lot like one of the aliens from Earth: Final Conflict. She is the blue colored female alien on the pulpit with Palpetine in the Senate.
27. The waitress droid's nametag resembles "Flo." This is a spoof on a waitress character in the TV show Mel's Diner.
28. While in Dex's Diner, you can hear 50's style music being played in the backround very softly.
29. Anakin's speeder in the Coruscant chase is based on the yellow Bucket T in American Graffiti.
30. This one takes a brief explanation: There is a specific scream heard in all of the movies. It is known as the "WILHELM" scream. TOS Classic Moment said it is an edited recording of a famous actor shouting. Here's where it appears in every other film: TPM: In the hangar battle at the end of the film, when one of the queen's guards is hit by a laser blast (he kind of runs on screen then gets shot); ANH: One of the Stormtroopers Luke shoots before he extends the bridge on the Death Star; ESB: A rebel soldier in the Hoth trenches; ROTJ: The Imperial Commander who falls over the balcony in the shield bunker; AOTC: During the assassination attempt when the ship blows up. [Note: Confirmed].

31. In the asteroid field around Geonosis, you can see one of the "cow like" creatures from Naboo floating around. In addition, another is on fire in the final, climactic battle scene.
32. On Coruscant after the speeder chase when Zam crash lands, on the big screens you can see the aliens from ID4
33. Ewoks appear in a senate pod during one of the senate scenes.
34. Check out the back of the cockpit behind Obi-Wan's head. There is a deer-whistle attached to his speeder! If you don't know, these are commonly put on bumpers of cars to warn deer to get out of the way.
35. Three of the five members of the band NSYNC are in the movie, primarily because Lucas’ daughter Katie likes the band. They are Jedi in one scene, throwing light sabers to Obi-Wan and Anakin, and there is a brief second scene shot where they are in Naboo citizen garb.
36. Beginning of Coruscant chase scene (aproximately 14 minutes) - Obi-Wan appears to get in the way of a flying (late) Ratts Tyrell and a Dug that resembled Sebulba. The Dug says "Jedi poodoo" sounding much like Sebulba at the end of the pod race.
37. If I'm not mistaken Luke's landspeeder is present in the back of the garage, although it is missing the windshield and possibly the left engine. It looks much worse than it does in Episode IV.
38. When Padme brings some things for Anakin during the "I killed them" scene in the Lars garage, she is carrying blue milk, which is what Luke and the Lars drink during the dinner scene in Episode IV.
39. When watching AOTC again I noticed that the arena battle with all of the Jedi, Nick Gillard, the fight choreographer of the film, is one of the Jedi. He's clearly seen behind Mace Windu or Jango Fett during the fight and he's taking out tons of Jedi by himself. I think the exact location is behind Mace when he splits away from Obi-Wan.
40. Just after Zam crashes in the Coruscant chase scene, Anakin is chasing her down the alley. A group of people are starring at him and Doug Chiang (art director for SW2) walks in from the left, completely in focus. He's there for about two seconds before the scene changes. He's dressed in a high collared black outfit with his hair gelled up.
41. In the nightclub, there is a shot of many vials and bottles and such from the bar. One of the vials is labeled "Aludium pu-36." There was a Looney Tune cartoon directed by the late Chuck Jones in 1958 called "Hare-way to the Stars" in which Bugs Bunny thwarts Marvin the Martian's plans to blow up the Earth with his "Aludium pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator," .
42. I believe it is in the scene where Jar Jar addresses the Senate -- just before the scene cuts away there are a few shots of all the Senators shouting/making noise. If you keep watching the lower part of the screen, you'll see those "ET"-like creatures that were also in Episode I.
43. During the chase scene in Coruscant, Anakin and Obi-Wan zip by different billboards with strange writing. The writing is in a style called Aurabesh and corresponds with our own alphabet. Supposedly, it can be translated.
44. Two Matrix 1 actors appear in Episode 2. During the nightclub scene, Obi Wan uses mind tricks on a fellow to make him reconsider his life, this is actually Matt Doran ( Mouse) the program writer on the Morpheus ship in the Matrix. Also, the Woman in Red from the training program sequence can be clearly seen in the crowd by Annakin as he pursues the changling. Her hair is pulled up onto her head, but she is definitely the Sydney model by the name of Fiona.
45. In the senate scene there are three monkeys from the 1967 Planet Of The Apes.
46. In bar scene some people playing video games in the background as or right after they enter. One of the video games they are playing (on the right-most screen) is Star Wars: Pod Racer.
47. A Spinner from Blade runner is present in the Coruscant Scenes.
48. Not necessarily an Easter egg, but notable that the chair in which Supreme Chancellor Palpatine sits in his office in "Attack of the Clones" is the same chair in which Emperor Palpatine sits in "Return of the Jedi".
