It would be fair
to say that pretty much every part of the film is based on another
film in history. You can trace half the script to the SW films.
However you may like to know some of the more obvious and not so
obvious tributes...
MOSW2
See Brian
striking a familiar pose... Remind you of Chris Tarrant on 'Who
wants to be a millionaire'?
Scene
1
Bounty Hunters
with accents inspired by the 'oriental' voices of the Trade Federation
Scene
2
"Damn fool
idealsitic crusade" spoken by Amidala as by Obi-Wan in SW
Scene
3
Lift music
is the same as used in BYP's Batman Returns Forever when Dr Nakasaki
Hiroshima is shopping.
Yoda's fate
leading to everything else speech based upon a joke used in 1999
MTV movie awards, as was the non-verbal communication gag.
Scene
4
Scene
5
Scene
6
On board
the transport ship, Bosch has to hit the cockpit wall to power it
back up - just like Han Solo in ESB
"...a long
time" as spoken by Obi-Wan is said again by Obi-Wan in SW.
Scene
7
Scene
8
"You were
right about one thing..." based on TPM Obi-Wan to Qui Gonn Jin.
By the way it was Mark's idea!
Scene
8A
The two
guards based on Padlock and Gul Goch from the STTNGG radio dramas
Scene
9
There is
a quiet voice over as the first guards walk past. This is our homage
to the Stormtroopers who were more than happy to be blasted to pieces
in the original trilogy. The voice over is taken from 2 Stormtroopers
talking in SW as Obi-Wan is deactivating the tractor beam.
"you're
wrong" is what Luke Skywalker says to the Emperor in ROTJ
"I
cannot allow these events to proceed" - Sean Connery quote
(Robin Hood Prince of Thieves)
Emperor
talking to himself as he walks away from Anakin and Maul based upon
Colonel Hathi in Walt Disney's Jungle Book.
During the
final verse, the finale song features small musical snippets of
the popular themes from the SW saga including: The
Star Wars theme SW, The Imperial March ESB, Cloud City Theme ESB,
Yoda's Theme ESB / ROTJ / TPM, Princess Leais Theme - SW, Han and
Leia's theme ESB
Outtakes
The 'Greased
Lightning' Song reprise is also used in our other film "Geriatric
Park"
