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"
