6 Star Wars Easter Egg's you may have missed.

 

 

1. George Lucas is IN a 'Star Wars' Movie

 

It took six films, but the saga's creator finally made his 'Star Wars' debut as the Pantoran senator, Baron Papanoida, in 'Revenge of the Sith.' A fan of capes and epaulets, Papanoida was known to be seen frequenting the Galaxies Opera on Coruscant in the waning days of the Republic. Lucas' daughter Katie plays Papanoida's daughter Chi Eekway, seen at left.

2. E.T.'s Species Phones It In To the Senate

 

'The Phantom Menace' shows members of E.T.'s race present in the Galactic Senate — and as Palpatine supporters no less! The fact that E.T.'s people come from that Galaxy Far, Far Away, yet journeyed all the way to our corner of the universe to interact with young Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore must mean that things got a lot better in the 'Star Wars' galaxy, right? That they can afford intergalactic travel? Or does their departure mean that things there have only gotten A LOT worse?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Podracing is Also Wizard in 'Episode II'

 

When Anakin and Obi-Wan track bounty hunter Zam Wesell to the Outlander Club in Coruscant's Underworld, they encounter many forms of recreation: death sticks, scantily-clad Twi'leks, and viewscreens showing some kind of all-droid version of American football, and, of course, podracing. By the looks of that snowy landscape the podracers are traversing, they're on Ando Prime. Hell yeah, we played 'Star Wars: Episode I — Racer.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. The 'Millennium Falcon' In the Prequels!

 

The YT-1300 Corellian freighter was already about 60 years old when Han Solo extolled its ability to make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs to Luke and Obi-Wan. Turns out, it was even present at one of the most momentous battles of the Clone Wars: the Battle of Coruscant. It emerged unscathed and later docked at the Senate Office Building as seen here in 'Revenge of the Sith.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. A 'Shadows of the Empire' Shout-Out

 

'Star Wars' fans will forever remember 1996 as the year of 'Shadows of the Empire,' the novel by Steve Perry that showed what happened between the events of 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi.' One of the main 'Shadows' characters was Dash Rendar, a smuggler, freelancer, and captain of an even more advanced ship than the 'Falcon,' the 'Outrider,' which you can glimpse (in the upper left) taking off from Mos Eisley in the Special Edition of 'A New Hope' released a year later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Han Gropes Leia

 

Han, my boy, the fastest way to become bantha fodder in a relationship is to grope your girlfriend in the middle of a battle. Oh wait, you were coming to her aid after she was shot? She wasn't shot there, bro.
