The ending theme song for both movies was "Tsuki no Hana," while the opening theme of the first movie was a cover of "Moonlight Densetsu" performed by the voice actresses of the five Inner Senshi, which also served as the second ending theme of the second part, and the opening theme of the second movie was a cover of "Sailor Star Song" performed by the voice actresses of Sailor Kakyuu and the Sailor Starlights. The insert song "Nagareboshi He" sung by the Three Lights played in the first part, and "Happy Marriage Song" played as an insert song during Usagi and Mamoru's wedding at the end of the second part.

Trivia
- In the continuity of Sailor Moon Crystal, these movies featured numerous firsts:
- For characters, the Shadow Galactica, Three Lights/Sailor Starlights, Chibi Chibi/Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon/Sailor Cosmos, Princess Kakyuu/Sailor Kakyuu, Chaos/Sailor Chaos, and Guardian Cosmos made their only appearances. It was the only time the Senshi killed by the Shadow Galactica were mentioned, and one of them, Sailor Coronis, was also seen in the movies. It was the only time Usagi referred to Minako as "Mina-P," and the only time that Sailor Senshi other than Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon referred to themselves with a prefix before the "Sailor" part of their Senshi names, as the Guardian Senshi gave their introductory speeches using their "Eternal" titles.
- Items seen for the first time included the Galactica Bracelets, Lazurite Crystal, Sailor Change Stars, Incense Burner, and Garden Crystal. The second movie was the only time the Cosmos Crystal, also referred to as "Cosmos Seed," was mentioned.
- The terms "Star Seed" and "Stars of Darkness" were introduced.
- Transformations used for the first time included Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make Up, Fighter Star Power, Make Up, Maker Star Power, Make Up, Healer Star Power, Make Up, Chibi Chibi Crystal Power, Make Up, Pink Moon Crystal Power, Make Up, and Kinmoku Star Power, Make Up. Sailor Tin Nyanko, Sailor Galaxia, and Sailor Cosmos also received brief, wordless transformations.
- Attacks used for the first time included Galactica Crunch, Space Turbulence, Submarine Violon Tide, Star Sensitive Inferno, Galactica Wave, Star Serious Laser, Star Gentle Uterus, Galactica Tornado, Galactica Puppet, Galactica Myosotis Alpestris, Pink Lady's Freezing Kiss, Amazoness Jungle Arrow, Starlights Royal Straight Flush, Galactica Plants Blizzard, Kinmoku Fusion Tempest, Galactica Space Turbulence, Galactica Glaive Surprise, Galactica Violon Tide, Galactica Cannon, Venus Love and Galactica Shock, Galactica Gale, Galactica Planet Attack, Silver Moon Crystal Power Therapy Kiss, Galactica Inflation, Galactica Super String, and Silver Moon Crystal Eternal Power. Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss was given an animated sequence expanded from its use in Sailor Moon Eternal. The second movie also marked the only appearances of the fully animated attack sequence of Silence Glaive Surprise, as well as the second version of Chronos Typhoon.
- It was the only time the Lambda Power appeared.
- Places seen for the first time included Galactica Palace, Charon Castle, Miranda Castle, Triton Castle, the gate to Zero Star, River of Forgetfulness, River of Memory, Lethe, Mnemosyne, Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon's graveyard, the Star Garden, and the Galaxy Cauldron (although Charon Castle, Miranda Castle, and Triton Castle were mentioned for the first time in Sailor Moon Eternal). It was the only time Sagittarius Alpha Star, Coronis, Mau, Kinmoku, the Tankei Kingdom, Chuu, Mermaid, and Sagittarius Zero Star were mentioned.
- These movies revealed that Phobos and Deimos were from Coronis, that Luna and Artemis were from Mau, and that Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90, and Queen Nehellenia were, as Stars of Darkness, incarnations of Chaos.
- This was the only time Wakana Yamazaki played Ikuko Tsukino. In the previous seasons, she was played by Yuko Mizutani.
- This was the only installment of Crystal to feature Tomoya Takahashi as its director.
- In the previous movie, Princess Serenity's hair was white, but in this one, it was blonde like in the first three seasons of the series. Similarly, Neo-Queen Serenity's hair was blonde in most of the third season and Sailor Moon Eternal, but here, it was white again like in the second season.
- When Sailor Pluto, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Uranus traveled to their respective castles, their signature sound effects could be heard, but Sailor Pluto was accompanied by Sailor Neptune's sound effect, Sailor Neptune by Sailor Uranus', and Sailor Uranus by Sailor Pluto's.
- When Eternal Sailor Moon used Silver Moon Crystal Eternal Power against Chaos and flew toward it, brief flashes of the planetary symbols of the Guardian and Outer Senshi were visible, followed by Sailor Moon's own crescent moon symbol.
- Like the previous movie, honorifics were included in the dialogue of the movie's English dub.
- Also in the English dub, Seiya told Usagi that Galaxia attacked the Three Lights' princess on their planet and that "she" was destroyed, implying that Kakyu was dead, which contradicted her appearance later on in the movie. Sailor Pluto stated that Shadow Galactica's soldiers came from all over the universe, instead of just the Milky Way like in the original Japanese version. Yaten calling Chibi Chibi "Chibikoro" (ちびコロ) was changed to "Chibi Wibi."
- Andi Rich, who played Sailor Lead Crow in the Viz English dub of the anime, did not reprise her role in these movies. Instead, the character was played by Debi Mae West.
- In the German dub of the previous four arcs of the series, all of the crystals' names were translated literally, regardless of whether they were Japanese or English in the original. In these movies, while the Silver Crystal/Silver Moon Crystal, Golden Crystal, Pink Moon Crystal, Lazurite Crystal, and Cosmos Crystal were still translated, the terms "Star Seed," "Sailor Crystal," and "Garden Crystal" were left in English. Like the previous movie, honorifics were included in the dialogue, but the transformations and attacks were left in English again like in the first three seasons. Also in the movie dub, Yaten calling Chibi Chibi "Chibikoro" was changed to "Mini Chibi."
