Blade Runner

1982

A model of Han Solo's ship from the original Star Wars trilogy, the Millennium Falcon, was used as a futuristic building in several scenes throughout the film. Model Maker William George had been scratch-building the model in his spare time for his own amusement. During the filming of Blade Runner, the model making team was desperate to get more buildings into the L.A. cityscape. So they took George's five-foot-tall, wood and plastic model, decked it out with etched brass, tubing and fiber optics for illumination and placed into several scenes. The Falcon/building makes most of its appearances when Gaff and Deckard are flying in the police spinner to the police station. The Falcon is standing on it's tail end and has a large platform with towers and spires on the nose. So as you looking at the building from the side, you'll be seeing a top (or bottom) view of the ship. Also the cockpit has been removed from the side so it's harder to recognize.

also, as Rocky and Ginger are running to the end of the pie machine a series of gears cross their paths and then a group of gears rolls after them (boulder after Indy)

A deleted scene from the pie machine: Rocky comes face-to-face with a chicken skeleton inside the machine, like Indy comes face-to-face with Forrestal's skeleton in Raiders.

In the making of Chicken Run (on the DVD special features) Nick Park (creator/animator) is describing the huge chicken machine as, "...the Death Star of chicken-dom" When in the machine, Ginger and Rocky leap off of a platform and swing across just like Luke and Leah.

Now what the f**k do you call that! BANKY Intergalactic Civil War! HOOPER Gentrification. They're gonna drive our the black element, to make the galaxy quote, unquote 'safe' for white folks. HOLDEN But Vader turns, out to be Luke's father. And in Jedi, they become friends. HOOPER Don't make me bust a cap in your a*s, yo!

Shane: Ok, now if you're Chewbacca then why does Matt have to go?" Shane: He's my Chewbacca" Matt: "I don't have a Chewbacca..." Shane: OK, right...ok, Chewie...let's get in the damn ship and go!"

Clerks

1994

script RANDAL (Anderson) 'there was something else going on in Jedi. I never noticed it until today.' DANTE (O'Halloran): What's that? RANDAL: All right, Vader's boss... DANTE: The Emperor. RANDAL: Right, the Emperor. Now the Emperor is kind of a spiritual figure, yes? DANTE: How do you mean? RANDAL: Well, he's like the pope for the dark side of the Force. He's a holy man; a shaman, kind of, albeit an evil one. DANTE: I guess. RANDAL: Now, he's in charge of the Empire. The Imperial government is under his control. And the entire galaxy is under Imperial rule. DANTE: Yeah. RANDAL: Then wouldn't that logically mean that it's a theocracy? If the head of the Empire is a priest of some sort, then it stands to reason that the government is therefore one based on religion. DANTE: It would stand to reason, yes. RANDAL: Hence, the Empire was a fascist theocracy, and the rebel forces were therefore battling religious persecution. DANTE: More or less. RANDAL: The only problem is that at no point in the series did I ever hear Leia or any of the rebels declare a particular religious belief. DANTE: I think they were Catholics'

RANDAL: You know what I just watched? DANTE: Me pulling a can off some moron's fist RANDAL: Return of the Jedi. DANTE Didn't you hear me? Caitlin really is getting married. RANDAL Which did you like better: Jedi or The Empire Strikes Back. DANTE (exasperated) Empire. RANDAL Blasphemy. DANTE Empire had the better ending: Luke gets his hand cut off, and finds out Vader's his father; Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. And that's life-a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets. RANDAL There was something else going on in Jedi. I never noticed it until today. RANDAL follows DANTE as he cleans up around the store. DANTE What's that? then came reference #1 from the script, followed by: RANDAL You know what else I noticed in Jedi? DANTE There's more? RANDAL So they build another Death Star, right? DANTE Yeah. RANDAL Now the first one they built was completed and fully operational before the Rebels destroyed it. DANTE Luke blew it up. Give credit where it's due. RANDAL And the second one was still being built when they blew it up. DANTE Compliments of Lando Calrissian. RANDAL Something just never sat right with me the second time they destroyed it. I could never put my finger on it-something just wasn't right. DANTE And you figured it out? RANDAL Well, the thing is, the first Death Star was manned by the Imperial army-storm troopers, dignitaries- the only people onboard were Imperials. DANTE Basically. RANDAL So when they blew it up, no prob. Evil is punished. DANTE And the second time around...? RANDAL The second time around, it wasn't even finished yet. They were still under construction. DANTE So? RANDAL A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers. DANTE Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at. RANDAL Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms. DANTE All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction? RANDAL All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed- casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. (notices Dante's confusion) All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. (MORE) RANDAL (CONT'D) You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living. The BLUE-COLLAR MAN joins them. BLUE-COLLAR MAN Excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt, but what were you talking about? RANDAL The ending of Return of the Jedi. DANTE My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed by the rebels.

Dark Star

1974

In his film "Dark Star", John Carpenter, a classmate of George Lucas' at UCLA film school, references THX 1138. In the closing scene, as the astronauts are drifting away from each other and their signals begin to fade, some wreckage from the exploded ship, including a door, which is inscribed "Toilet Tank - THX 1138" floats by. Doolittle uses it to surf to his death in the atmosphere of the planet the crew were supposed to blow up. Both THX 1138 and Dark Star were student films which were expanded to features. I don't know whether this was a friendly bit of rivalry on Carpenter's part or that he really hated the film, but it's hardly complimentary, is it?

Eddie Izzard: Circle

2002

Future But finally tonight, finally tonight I just want to talk about the future. The future. Where will the future be? Science Fiction writers, they write it down, they write it down in books. And then it becomes films, and then it all comes to pass, like those doors in Star Trek (makes whooshing sound) we've got them now! That's about it! But that's happened. And they had The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is f***ing with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five six, one, two three, ten" No, it goes four, five, six, one, two, three...No, it goes: four, five six. One. Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, "brr brr, berr brr" who needs a punch up the bracket!" That's another one, that's the punch right there. Up the bracket (points to face.) This is the bracket, I think. I didn't know, my dad used to say it to me, "You need a good punch up the bracket!" No he didn't, actually. He used to say, "I'll smash you through that wall!" So, uh, where was I going? Yes, yes, yes, so Star Wars, I mean they had the Death Star. Death Star is a very...almost like a New York name, The Death Star. It gets to the point. (in an American accent) What's that star? It's the Death Star "What does it do?" It does death! It does death, buddy! Get out of my way...with your centiliters and your milliliters, your f***ing combine harvesters." Sporadic laugh that was (mimics laugh), It's like I've gone in and removed some of your entrails...Ish...you know. Anyway.

Death Star Canteen So, uh, yeah, but the Death Star, the one thing about the Death Star is that there was no food. No one had food at all. No food at all~ No one said, "Hey, Darth Vader, Emperor, just nipping down to alpha beta 9. What d'you want? Couple of *sarnies? Um, chicken, ham, ham, chicken, egg, what? Coke? Diet Coke? What d'you want? What d'you want? You weird bleeders!" But there must have been a Death Star canteen, yeah? there must have been a cafeteria downstairs, in between battles, where Darth Vader could just chill and go down (Vader voice) "I will have the penne a la arrabiata." (server voice) "you'll need a tray." (Vader) "Do you know who I am?" "This is not a game of who the f*** are you. For I am Vader. Darth Vader. Lord Vader. I can kill you with a single thought!" (server) "Well, you'll still need a tray." (Vader) "No, I will not need a tray. I do not need a tray to kill you. I can kill you without a tray, with the power of the Force - which is strong within me - even though I could kill you with a tray if I so wished. For I would hack at your neck with the thin bit until the blood flowed across the canteen floor..." (server) "No, the food is hot. You'll need a tray to put the food on." (Vader) Oh, I see, the food is hot. I'm sorry, I, I did not realize. Hah! Hah! I thought you were challenging me to a fight to the death." (server) "Fight to the death? This is canteen, I work here." (Vader) "Yes, but I am Vader, I am Lord Vader. Everyone challenges me to a fight to the death. Lord Vader. Darth Vader, I am Dart Vader, Lord Vader. Sir Lord Vader, Sir Lord Darth Vader. Lord Darth Sir Lord Vader of Cheam. Sir Lord Baron von Vaderham. The Death Star. I run the Death Star." (server) "What's the Death Star?" (Vader losing patience) "this is the Death Star. You're in the Death Star. I run this star." (server) "This is a star?" (Vader) "This is a f***ing star - I run it. I'm your boss. (server) "You're Mr. Stephens?" (Vader) "No, I'm...who is Mr. Stephens?" (Vader) He's head of catering." (Vader) "I'm not head of catering! I am Vader. I can kill catering with a thought." (server) "What?" (Vader) "I can kill you all. I can kill me with a thought. Just...I'll get a tray, f*** it!..." "This one's wet, and this one's wet, and this one's wet. This one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet. Did you dry these in a rain forest? Why, with the power of the Death Star, do we not have a tray that is f***ing dry? I do not... (someone cutting in line) No, no, no. I was here first." "You have to form a queue if you want food. Can I have, oh, penne ala arrabiata, that looks nice." "no, no, no. D'you know who I am?" (server butts in) "That's **Jeff Vader, that is." (Vader) "I am not Jeff Vader, I am Darth Vader." (server) "What, Jeff Vader runs the Death Star?" (Vader) "No, Jeff...No, I run the Death Star." (other person) "You Jeff Vader?" (Vader) "No, I'm Darth Vader!" (other person) "Are you his brother? Can you get his autograph?" (Vader) "I can't get it...No, I'm...all right, I'm Jeff Vader! I'm Jeff Vader!" (other person) "Can I have your autograph?" (Vader) "No, f*** off, or I'll kill you with a tray! Give me penne a la arrabiata or you shall die!. And you, and everyone in this canteen! Death by tray it shall be!" (server) "Do you want peas with that?" (Vader) "Peas? You don't have peas! You can't put red with...It doesn't work with penne, you don't' put, unless you push them up the penne tubes, and then they'd be weird! Just...(giving up) oh, all right, put some peas on." (as Eddie) That was cut out of the final film. Thank you very much. Thank you. *Sarnie is a sandwich made with a sandwich iron.

Eddie does an impression of Darth Vader using a "James Earl Jones" voice, then illustrates how it would sound if his voice was more like Dudley Moore. (Big thanks to John for this reference!)

Her call sign is "India Golf Niner Niner" (IG-99) which is very close to IG-88.

As the President (Pullman) and Dr. Okun (Spiner) come through the door (Area 51) leading to where the alien craft is being held/observed, you can see the writing on either side of the doorway (a large entrance), "R" and "2" , the "R" to the left and the "2" to the right (R2 D2)

Rikki-O: The Story of Ricky

1991

A scene where Ricki meets his uncle in a misty graveyard, Ricky (Fan Sui Wong) begs his uncle to teach him the ways of "chi gong". The entire scene is very similar to that of Luke and Yoda in the swamp in The Empire Strikes Back. (note: the movie is very gory - based on the Manga Rikki-O)

Robocop 2

1990

A SW reference that is very subtle. I realized that Dr. Faxx was using a modified form of a Jedi Mind Trick.. she'd say a phrase, hit a few keys on a keyboard, and Robocop would repeat it like a Mind Trick victim: In the scene where Robocop's new directives were being uploaded, Dr. Faxx uses a computer-assisted version of the Jedi Mind Trick. (Thanks to John at Obroa-Skai for this reference!)

Robocop 3

1993

At the end of the first chase scene involving Ofc. Lewis ends in an accident... Victim: "What the hell is this fellas, huh? You give a broad a badge and she gets delusions of gander, huh?" Lewis: "It's 'grandeur', dumb----" (the edited version fills the blank in with the word 'jerk')

The voicebox in the Hardware Store (Jones) does a great impression of Darth Vader ;), "The Force is strong with this one" he says about Rodney Copperbottom (McGregor), the face even changes to slightly resemble the dark lord.

The battle between Madame Gasket and Wonderbot is very similaar to a lightsaber battle. the pipes make lightsaber-like noises and give off different colored sparks: Gasket's red and Wonderbot's yellow. (Thanks to Chris Brown!)

Fan film. Plot as described by Jeff Ciolotti (director) The story of Silent But Deadly is quite simple. George Lucas decides he's had enough of plot-revealing Star Wars fan Web sites. He dispatches his most crafty enforcers, a pair of no-nonsense Imperial Stormtroopers (well, there's quite a bit of nonsense actually), to eliminate the Webmasters of those sites. In Silent But Deadly 2, the troopers are summoned from a seaside vacation to neutralize the latest threat: a crazed fan who has gone on a rampage after waiting in too many Star Wars lines. Silent But Deadly 3 combines characters from the first two and concludes the trilogy in a grand fashion.

New City: "A scissors-and-tape Sergio Leone-"Road Warrior"-"Wizard of Oz"-"El Mariachi"- "Star Wars"-rock 'n' roll-samurai-kung fu-comic book filled with willfully naive charm..." Film Threat: "...Six-String Samurai is pure cinematic enjoyment...

Maintain your present course" (word for word from ESB) after he lands, a group of soldiers comes out to greet him. He is then reunited with his old buddy on the platform.

The relationship between Perkins and the Captain is similar to that of Marion and Indy....true affection yet concealed by a shell of dislike for something that happened in the past between the characters. There's also the whole map overlay thing that's very Indy...and there is an "ark."

Something that looks like a TIE fighter is hanging from the ceiling in the warehouse of "things that started appearing" with the giant robots. When Sky Captain lands his plane on the British flying skyport, he is directed to land on runway 327 (same Hanger used by Han Solo).

MAX: Why donÕt you evaporate laser brain?! GUY: (grabs Max) Yeah, IÕll give you a laser brain.

(Mock Cargo Area) ANDI: This is a mock up of the cargo bay and the storage pallet. That arm is the remote manipulator system. It can be used for repairs and to link up with satellites or other vehicles. This is the zero gravity chair. It rides on a cushion of air and creates the feeling of weightlessness you would encounter when you leave the EarthÕs atmosphere. Come on, Max. (They all enter the mock space shuttle.) MAX: Oh, this is like the greatest thing since that X-Wing fighter!

color="#50855E" MAX: Distract and destroy the Imperial Guards. RUDY: (makes a tick-tock sound) Got 10 seconds. KEVIN: All right! What would Luke Skywalker do? How would he get to the launch pad? (Max goes over to his closet, and opens it to reveal Jinx.) GUY: KidÕs gonna go for the droid.

(Boys Dorm) (Kevin comes in and turns on the lights. Max is already sitting up in bed looking very upset.) KEVIN: Who talked? MAX: It wasnÕt me Han Solo. Zack got information out of Jinx. KEVIN: Max! IÕm not Han Solo. Okay? And youÕre not Luke Skywalker. ThereÕs no Empire and thereÕs no Force and thereÕs no Dark Side. YouÕre just an ordinary kid and so am I! And maybe nobody lives happily ever after, all right? So just stay away from me. Far away. (he walks off) (Max sits there for a moment, looking about ready to burst into tears, and then he runs out of the room. Jinx follows him.)

(Cargo bay) MAX: Commander Skywalker, reporting in.

CATHERINE: Max, you have to help Andi. MAX: (outside) No. Let me in! Please let me in! KEVIN: (into headset as Obi Wan Kenobi) Luke. (Max quiets) Luke? Use the force Luke. Stretch out your feelings. The Force is always with you. (Max smiles)

(Cargo Bay) (Max climbs into the chair and straps himself in. Rudy then begins to swing him over to Datalis.) MAX: Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. Help me.

Starchaser: the Legend of Orin

1985

- I caught this one on my DVR one night and finally got to watch it. It has many thematic elements in common with Star Wars. Here are some things I noticed: - Orin finds a sword with no hit. In moments of crisis, he swings the hilt and a blue blade of energy can be seen. - The main characters of the "good guys" include: a naive working boy from a backwater planet (Orin), a roguish pirate (Dagg), the daughter of a planetary leader (Aviana), a humanoid robot (Silica), and a smart-alec navigator automaton usually paired with a ship (Arthur). The main "bad guy" is more machine than man (Zygon). - The Starchaser (Dagg's ship) and several of the fighters use sounds of vehicles from the Star Wars trilogy (most noticeable is the sound of Luke's landspeeder as the Starchaser makes low-altitude flybys) - Several scenes mirror some from the classic Star Wars trilogy: The main bad guy gets his hand cut off in the final battle. The pirate's ship escapes an explosion by flying out of a vent shaft. The pirate's ship gets caught in an energy beam. The main female lead wears white and has a valet robot. The ghosts of previous generations of heroes appear at the final celebration of freedom. The bad guys put a bounty on the crew of the pirate's ship. - Reverse references (Star Wars Ep1-3 trilogy, Special Edition OT): The main bad guy gets cut in half by an energy blade. The bad guy gets pushed into molten lava. The main viewport of the enemy's flagship gets destroyed while the good guys are on the bridge. The main female lead's white outfit is form-fitting. The valet robot fires a weapon at other robots. The main female lead goes to the slums in disguise. After the fall of the evil dictatorship, the celebrants exclaim "We're free!". The evil armies consist of thousands of robots. The good guys neutralize the evil armies by accident. One of the robotic characters wakes up and complains about being "naked". The good guys run into a corridor with hundreds of evil soldiers. Dag is clearly based on Han Solo, the ship on C3PO, the hilt on a lightsaber, etc.

Starcrash

1979

This movie not only took elements from Star Wars, it seems that other elements were borrowed for Episodes V and VI. [1] The most obvious references seem to be Count Zarth Arn (Vader in looks, Dr. Doom in dialogue), and while the name is ever so similar to "Darth" the character was actually named after Zarth Arn from Edmond Hamilton's Star Kings (Amazing Stories) and

the lightsaber duel.

Note the second photo shows the "good" Emperor of the Galaxy (Plummer) appearing in holographic form (which seems to be a reverse reference for ESB) and the evil Count Zarth Arn (Spinell), who has a mysterious super weapon, to the left and on the posters (Vader-esque mask)

The first poster had too many similarities to ANH's posters and

the second seemed to be more along the lines of Battlestar Galactica even though you can see the "lightsaber" there:

The line, "I hope this star buggy hold together!"

Star Wars is mentioned several times by the effects guys and by Robert Wise (the director)

on the Bonus disc Star Wars is mentioned again in how Star Trek came to fruition on the big screen. In 1977, after the fervor of Star Wars, the studio guys at Paramount were asking, "What do we have like Star Wars" ...the answer was, of course, Star Trek.
