The title refers to the incredibly hairy bad guy. Wookies are a tall arboreal species from the Star Wars universe.
Morgan: "If Chuck is Solo, then [Bryce] Larkin is [Chuck's] Fett." Really, a poor analogy. Boba Fett hunted Han Solo down for a bounty. Bryce Larkin supposedly betrayed Chuck. A better analogy would have been "... Larkin is Lando Calrissian on Cloud City."
The diamond is known as the "Nadan-i-noor" - this may or may not be a reference to the Koh-i-noor diamond, which has an almost identical prophecy around it (that whoever owns it will rule the world).
"Tyrell Corporation: Genetic Engineering" is on the bag Morgan is carrying around - the Tyrell Corporation produced the androids in Blade Runner.
The wookie - Peyman Alahi - has a golden gun, just like Scaramanga (played by Christopher Lee) in The Man with the Golden Gun, a James Bond movie from 1974 (or the book of the same name by Ian Fleming).
Sarah doesn't like olives. Probably not an intentional reference, but in the first episode of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall introduces "The Olive Theory", based on the idea that a compatible couples is one in which one of the two members of the couple likes olives, and the other member of the couple does not.
Sarah's real middle name is "Lisa".
