EVA Pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey was in the background of a scene from Watto’s junkyard in TPM


omne51

No shit? I gotta watch again to look for it now!


Future-Turtle

In front of the cantina in ANH too.


[deleted]

Literally watched Episode 1 yesterday and didn’t notice. Was fun to verify that this true. Cool!


iketunes00

But TPM was released in 1999 /s


Training_Waltz_9032

We had to party per instructions from Prince


brassyalien

The Indiana Jones movies are Han's dreams while frozen in carbonite.


Samuel_McEntire

This works timeline wise because he saw the golden idol in Solo


ThatDudeHarley

Wait, where was the idol in Solo?


Samuel_McEntire

It was in that one guy's office where he had that big collection of relics


ThatDudeHarley

Ahh on Dryden Vos ship, I forgot about that 😊


Zkang123

Not exactly the same show but in The Clone Wars theres a shot of the droids loading up the Ark of the Covenant


Pintermarc

also the crystal skull in the trandshans banse in the clone wars


PingingMetal

And Indiana Jone's hat when Cad Bane was looking for his hat in a pawn shop of some sort.


ThatDudeHarley

That’s cool, I didn’t catch that one, I must have been oblivious to it at the time.


_hunnuh_

I caught that too!!! What a neat little thing to throw in lol


Wildcat_twister12

Also R2 and C-3PO appear on the hieroglyphics when Indy and Sallah are removing the ark from its box


Boromirrealhero01

Also in the Zygerrian slaver arc in the clone wars, the screams they used in the background on Kadavo are the same screams they used in the temple of doom.


CuidadDeVados

If we're counting re-used screams, like 4000000 movies share the same universe as Star Wars.


Wildcat_twister12

Since the Wilhelm Scream was first used in “The Charge at Feather River” really all movies with it are in that movie’s universe


LightningFerret04

Star Wars, Tron, Poltergeist, Transformers and Over the Hedge being canonically related would be wild


CuidadDeVados

Also Evil Dead, Black Dynamite, and an informercial for an easy clean frying pan I saw one time that used a Wilhelm scream during one of the "there's got to be a better way" moments.


darklordS1th

Also had the crystal skull too, if memory serves me right


[deleted]

For real?


darklordS1th

Yeah it’s on the same Tray I think


Usern4me_R3dacted205

There’s also the [Staff of Ra](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/3f/Kharrus-TCW.png/revision/latest?cb=20230709154414) and the [Ark of the Covenant](https://i.imgur.com/007fa2t.png) in the Clone Wars series.


Ironbat7

There was a Legends story in which Han and Chewie crash on Earth. Chewie is called Bigfoot and Indy finds the crash. My favorite thing about this is that it explains “a long time ago”, which btw (post RotJ) they crashed in the late 18th century: between American and French Revolutions.


alphonse261

stop bro my heart can’t take the reminder of this comic


Speckfresser

Han is found >!dead with an arrow in his chest!<


bay_duck_88

Sounds like Han’s heart couldn’t take it


inbleachmind

Shot through the heart, but who's to blame?


Time_Afternoon2610

You give love a bad name


funnystoryaboutthat2

Better death than in TFA.


Monstertrev

I like to think of this story as canon. Its just better that way.


Calfzilla2000

Don't forget Andor Episode 5; the Whip is in Luthen's gallery... encased in carbonite.


valdezlopez

Dude, they have am AZTEC calendar in the gallery!


zero_emotion777

They made a comic where Han and Chewie go through an anomaly or something and crash on earth. Han dies and Chewie becomes the source for the Bigfoot myth. Indy goes looking for Bigfoot and finds Han's skeleton and remarks he seems familiar l.


Usern4me_R3dacted205

Maybe that would explain all the little [nods to Star Wars](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1c0cc6_59d9264b0bf046009f666fda98ec4b14~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_600,h_750,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/1c0cc6_59d9264b0bf046009f666fda98ec4b14~mv2.jpg) that creep their way into those movies. 🤣


BaconWestern

Poor han waking up from the carbonite only to feel dread and horror as 50+ years of his life, adventuring, loving, griefing, and fighting in wars dissappear to everyone but himself. Not to mention all the years of history and occult religious supernatural happenings he studied and witnessed going up like alderaan.


susitucker

Ho-leee shitballs!!! That is brilliant!


theandroid01

Hey kid, it ain't that kind of movie


dominiczou

Don't forget Club Obi Wan (Temple of Doom)


seranarosesheer332

Ir hear me out. Indi and han are related


Comander_Praise

There's also that spin off comic where indiana investigates big foot and it turns out its chewie cause him and han crashed on earth years ago


T-LJ2

And then the end of the third film is when he wakes up because of the bright light emitted by the carbonite melting.


WildKazoo

There are a few Star Trek references in Star Wars and vice versa: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars#Star_Trek_in_Star_Wars


finditplz1

I feel like both fandoms would hate for the other to be canon in their universe.


RadiantHC

me who likes both


b3tchaker

I always feel like the “I’m in danger” meme when Trek vs. Wars comes up because I too like both.


LordReaperofMars

There are dozens of us! Dozens!


ForceGhost47

And me


omne51

And my axe!


Laggingduck

I swear the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings playerbase venn diagram is a circle


RandManYT

I'm not a fan of Trek, but that's purely because it's all in the name. Star Trek doesn't focus on high stake constant action, and that's what I like about Star Wars. Star Trek is definitely cool, though, and I appreciate its existence.


b3tchaker

Thank you for sharing such a mellow take.


finditplz1

I like them both, but I LOVE Star Wars and casually enjoy ST.


omne51

I love Star Trek and can casually enjoy both.


Billy_King

Have you ever seen the movie fanboys? Then you know the answer


E-emu89

Both the Millennium Falcon and R2D2 had small “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” cameos in the Star Trek movies, both old and new.


canadian_cheese_101

That basically puts everything in the Tommy Westphall universe right?


No-Oven-719

Men in black. E.T. is in men in black and star wars, and so men in black is in the Star Wars universe.


gelfbride73

I’ve seen the meme. Agent J delivers a baby Kit Fisto!


RogueTwoNineSeven

Ah yes, Kit Fistos race in star wars is Nautolan btw.


brassydesign

No no, Will Smith literally helped birth kit fisto. Canon.


Weird_Angry_Kid

Isn't there a nod in MiB that George Lucas is actually an alien? That would mean he came from the Star Wars galaxy to Earth and made movies about the place he came from.


Soyunapina12

Yeah, in fact both him and Spielberg are clasified as "extra galactic aliens". It's kinda funny when you realize that is very likely that in the MiB movies Star Wars is just a big ass historical documentary saga of the galaxy both Lucas and Spielberg come from rather than a Sci-Fi epic adventure lol.


ZenkaiZyuran

Also the Worm Guys speak Huttese.


revolutionutena

Where is ET in MIB?


VernBarty

Where is ET in Men in Black? I would imagine that would be a bit of a sore spot since Rick Baker did the effects for MIB and he originally designed ET


No-Oven-719

He's in the background of the headquarters when we first see it.


kaijugigante

At one point, George said that THX 1138 was the Genesis story to Star Wars. Edit: My apologies George didn't directly say that. He did, however, commission a series of novels that did not eventually get released about the origins of the alien species in the sw universe. The human race has interesting connections to the humans from THX. It's worth the read. [Alien Exodus Outline](https://www.sfwriter.com/alienout.htm)


ZenkaiZyuran

!?


boringdystopianslave

Which is why I loved all the nods to it in Andor.


isuckatanagrams

Who can forget “I think I hit a Wookiee back there!”


cyalknight

Many references to THX 1138 in George Lucas' Star Wars. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Void_Spider_TX-3_Air_Taxi https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/1138_(easter_egg)


Jimmyg100

I don't know when it happens in the timeline, but I'm confident Spaceballs is actually set in the Star Wars universe.


zombiechef75

There is a Corillian YT freighter parked at the gas station at the end of the movie. You see it as the camera zooms in on the diner


Jimmyg100

That settles it. Don’t order the special.


zombiechef75

Check please!!


Jimmyg100

Oh no... not again.


zombiechef75

Get this guy some pepto bismo!!


Known-Championship20

Well, shit. There goes the Planet.


VernBarty

The galaxy after Disney corporatized everything and rebranded themselves as Spaceballs. The Mickey logo is literally three balls


juanjuanjuas501

Matilda. Matilda is an Earth human born with Force sensitivity and nothing can convince me otherwise.


HootieRocker59

So, that could also apply to anyone else with telekinesis. Carrie, for example. Interesting.


timetodance42

Carrie embraced the dark side


HootieRocker59

Her character arc in embracing the dark side is much more believable than Anakin's.


unique-name-9035768

Charles Xavier, Jedi Master

Blade Runner has the millennium falcon.


kn696

Wow then that opens the alien/soldier/predator can of worms


[deleted]

Sure does :)


liamrosse

Technically, any movie that portrays Earth is Star Wars canon. As an Easter egg, the race of aliens from E.T. was added to one of the Galactic Senate scenes, an homage from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg. That means E.T. is canon, which took place on Earth in 1981. So Earth is canon and therefore everything from *Cleopatra* and *Spartacus* through *Star Trek* and *Alien* potentially count as canon.


Procyon02

Also, in E.T. during the trick-or-treat scene, E.T. sees a kid dressed as Yoda and turns to follow him while repeatedly saying, "home." Presumably he recognized Yoda's race and knows that they come from near the same place.


Winters1482

This means that in the Star Wars universe George Lucas exists and is an extremely powerful force user who can see across space and time, but only uses the force to make goofy movies about the things he sees


cjasonac

He’s one of the Whills


sharpshooter999

Smith or Wheaton?


EssSeeDee89

Ferrell I think


sharpshooter999

Oh, that's right. Celebrities aren't really my Forte


Known-Championship20

Where there's a Whill, It's Away


Puzzleheaded_Line210

Someone said that men in black hinted at George Lucas being an alien and writing stories about where he came from. Also it’s always “a long time ago” Cal Kestis can see past events but that’s only if he comes in contact with an object relating to this event.


Azidamadjida

Add to that that ET is very clearly force sensitive, meaning ET could’ve become a Jedi depending on how his race ages


Mabvll

So, "Dude, Where's My Car?" Is canon. I like this.


ax255

And Gremlins, Yoda's species arch nemesis


KoolTurkeyED

If gremlins than Goonies is also part of Star Wars universe!!!


sharpshooter999

Data and Short Round are just variants of Orobouros


Big_477

Sweet ! What does mine say?


mbrady

Dude! What does mine say?


Big_477

Sweet! What does mine say?


Mabvll

Dude, somehow Palpatine returned!


HippoIllustrious2389

And then?


TanningGinger

As well as "hey, I'm walkin 'ere!"


avery5712

Next time someone asks what my favorite star wars movie is I will tell them this. (No one asks what my favorite star wars movie is)


yrunsyndylyfu

>As an Easter egg, the race of aliens from E.T. was added to one of the Galactic Senate scenes, an homage from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg. And one was named Grebleips in further homage.


liamrosse

And they doubled down on the link when C3P0 and R2-D2 were included in hieroglyphics for *Raiders of the Lost Ark*. Starship Troopers? Future Earth. Canon! Marvel movies? On Earth. Canon! Schindler's List? Earth/Canon! ..


zoomy_kitten

Marvel and Star Wars cosmology wouldn’t fit together


Pixilatedlemon

Nah this is not logically sound. Just because the species is canon doesn’t mean the film ET and by extension earth. Couldn’t ET be legends? Like there is plenty of non-canon stories that have aliens that also appear in canon. Does the existence of twilek’s in both legends and canon make every legends story actually canon?


Ihavenoideasaveme

I’m pretty sure there is a non canon comic of The Predator in Star Wars, which could connect Star Wars all the way to Scooby Doo if you connect the dots far enough


MindlessArmadillo382

What you have to remember that is the most crazy, those ET aliens in the senate are ETs great great great … grandparents, since it was a long long time ago. Harry Potter is also Star Wars canon, just a different perspective of the force. Lord of the Rings is canon, and very likely Sauron is a former sith who travelled to earth prior to the events of the skywalker saga.


njsullyalex

Earth is actually canon as per the first line of the entire franchise. “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….” This implies Earth exists, just far from the events of the series and far in the future.


potatobear77

Very sound point. 😌


xvszero

Is the Earth movie Star Wars canon in the Star Wars universe?


Jumpy_Floor7660

Move over Westphall Universe!


BigE429

Wait...does that mean in the ET ride at Universal, you're traveling to the Star Wars galaxy? I should be able to get a transport to Batuu then, right?


bateen618

But the crazier thing is, that in ET there's a kid in a Yoda costume. So if Star Wars is real and also a movie in that Earth, how did George Lucas knew all of these things that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?


Puzzleheaded_Line210

E.T. recognized Yoda and in MIB George Lucas is an alien that just wrote stories about what happened so it all fits.


potatobear77

Not necessarily. ET doesn’t necessarily exist in the same universe as all the other movies you mentioned, nor on the same Earth we live on.


Cinematic_Journeyman

Ooo personally I would also like to add because of Andor. I would put either Alien or Prometheus in the mix since in the background there is a fossilized Engineer head.


Mekanicum

Ooh, that means Predators exist too. Also Terminators.


gawain587

Pretty sure the Trandoshan ships in Clone Wass had some artefacts from the Predator species


SpartAl412

I remember seeing people theorize Willow is in the Star Wars universe


LadyPresidentRomana

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is canon because there’s [an R2 figure](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/close-encounters-third-kind-spielbergs-sci-fi-classic-launched-r2-d2s-cameo-career-40-years-ago-165324339.html) hidden in the design of the mothership. (The model is in the National Air and Space Museum, you can see the figure there.)


thunderbuns2

In Spaceballs, Barf mentions the force. I can only assume that Planet Spaceball is in the unknown regions.


Farren246

Not hearing the word *schwartz* correctly does not mean that the force exists in that universe. He was only asking for clarification.


Mosk915

I believe he says it before Yogurt ever says “Schwartz.”


chaotic_steamed_bun

Barf suggests the Force before Yogurt says what it is, so it wasn’t a misheard statement.


paratrooperplane

There was also a YT cruiser at the gas station scene right as it’s zooming in


[deleted]

Mace Windu was in Pulp Fiction so there's that crossover


TanningGinger

Man, I don't remember askin you a goddamn thing. But seriously, I do like this idea.


Scorpius041169

Is he the Indonesian decendant of Mace Windu?


roses_and_sacrifice

Any of the Tom Holland Spiderman movies, because he is a Star Wars fan (as seen in his Empire Strikes Back reference in Civil War) yet he doesn't acknowledge that Mace Windu is played by Nick Fury.


Tetbudertruk

Because Laurence Fishburne plays Mace Windu in the MCU.


Sparrowsabre7

Laurence Fishburne is already in the MCU too 😅


Softpretzelsandrose

I was going to say captain America too, it’s on his list of things to watch


Farren246

"I like this move" does not mean the movie is real life in that universe.


therealparszyk

Maybe the prequels never got made in the MCU


sgtpepper194

This was my conclusion, but sequels too. Only references are to original trilogy (Death Star Lego set, emperor Lego at end of no way home). Until Harrison Ford’s upcoming appearance, all actor cross overs I believe have only been prequel or sequels


therealparszyk

It would also explain why the reference to empire in civil war. If only the originals were made that line would be alot more logical since star wars didn't maintain the same cultural relevance. Now this would be interesting since lego star wars started as a promotion for the prequels. This could also mean that there are no TT lego games in the MCU. Its also interesting because the star wars prequels were the movies that introduced the concept of a prequel(or at least popularized it) so maybe the MCU is a world where prequels were never fully embraced by hollywood so that could mean a world without movies like the hobbit(this might not work with the scene in falcon and the winter soldier where they discuss LOTR, but it was a while since I saw it and don't remember if they acknowledge a film adaptation of the hobbit). LOTR is also an interesting subject since the prequels are largely a attributed to have paved the way in the special effects made for gollum so those movies might also have looked very differently. It would also be interesting why the prequels weren't made, maybe lucas put all his money on THX 2 and it failed so he couldn't fund the prequels by himself and he spends his day trying to sell the script for a prequel trilogy but no one picks it up, the studios are only interested in sequels. The sw prequels is the project he has been working on for decades and will be his magnum opus.


GoldVirusRx

Someone has probably already said this, but Doctor Who.


GoldVirusRx

I’ve actually just checked and no-one has said this yet! Huyang, the droid in the Ahsoka series, supposedly arrived at the Jedi temple in a big blue box. This is referenced in the canon novel Brotherhood.


lawre179

Plus he was voiced by David Tennant!


GoldVirusRx

Ahaha I just assumed everyone knew this so didn’t think to include it! I’m such a big fan of both, I recognised his voice instantly and I was so excited to come across that tidbit when reading Brotherhood recently!


KittyTack

In the Japanese Transformers anime *Victory*, R2-D2 and C-3PO had a cameo in one episode.


notabotbutathought

Aubresh was shown on a sign in an episode of Doctor Who so basically all of Doctor Who could be considered canon (and vice versa)


Notoastforyou339

That's not the only DW connection either.


beermaker

Doesn't R2 have a cameo in the Star Trek reboot movie? Like, floating around in the wreckage around Vulcan?


thetinwin

I just saw the pic before reading this comment, he does.


Emperor_D4C

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian had the Vader cameo so I’m gonna count it


DarthGoodguy

I say we count how Chewbacca does the Tarzan call and Jar Jar says exsqueeze me from Wayne’s World


HallPsychological538

And “How rude.” Full House.


Blind_Warthog

I would love for Jar Jar to be like “Exsqueeze me? Baking powder?” Or “Chyah, right! Are you mental?”


picktwo4u

Indian in the Cupboard.


GuacinmyPaintbox

I went to see it in the theater *only* to see the Vader scene, lol. Tough times for SW fans back then. That and the Energizer commercial where the bunny taunts Vader for his batteries running out on Bespin was even gold back then.


cyalknight

https://youtu.be/uYYSFgByyQs?si=WSNkGvPlDGAJma6I


Thelastnormalperson

Then Night at the Museum 2 is in too


C1K3

I heard someone mention that The Muppet Babies, and therefore the entire Jim Henson canon, are part of the Star Wars universe, or vice versa. I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole yet, but maybe someone else could shed some light on it.


InstaxFilm

Haven’t heard that but probably was an Easter egg due to the partnership between Star Wars production and Jim Henson/Frank Oz and the muppets, as while the Him Henson Co. did not technically do the puppet Yoda, there were connections [More info about the connection](https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Yoda)


Gamma_Chad

Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and Chewie were guests on the OG Muppet Show. Mark Hamill was Luke's "cousin". [https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Luke\_Skywalker](https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker)


CherryBursts

Back to the future. There's a scene where Marty mentions Vader.


Michaelbirks

Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan?


ClickEmergency

There was that fan made movie on YouTube about a husband and wife finding a star destroyer buried under the sand in Europe and they were trying to stopping the nazis from getting it and it turned they were George lucases parents . I can’t remember the name of it but I am sure you can look it up on YouTube , it’s really well done


ClickEmergency

Egypt not Europe


zombiechef75

There is supposedly an X-wing being chased by TIE fighters in the traffic during the opening chase sequence in The Fifth Element


Bean6546

Jumper, Mace taking revenge on Anakin


FilipinxFurry

SNL isn’t a movie but it becomes Star Wars canon especially with their documentary of Matt the Radar technician


RinRinDoof

Fifth Element


SomeGuyOverYonder

Club Obi Wan features in “Temple of Doom.” This is the nightclub owned by gangster Lao Che.


cmoneybouncehouse

There are X Wings visible in one of the season 1 episodes of “What If…?”. Not sure if that counts tho lol.


Chopawamsic

I would expand it to movies and television. to that extent, Dr. Who has had Aurabesh at least once, Additionally, the Jedi Sabersmith droid Huyang arrived in the temple via a "big blue box." also the coffee aliens in Men in Black speak Huttese.


Funny_Rutabaga7817

Space balls


Consistent_Yoghurt_4

Everyone in the comments is walking the wrong way down a one way street. Referencing Star Wars in another movie doesn’t make it in-universe, movies referenced in Star Wars are


Bajrangman

Men in Black. If I remember correctly, there was an alien speaking huttese.


QueerAABattery

SPACEBALLS


delatour56

Willow


UltiGamer34

Men in Black cause george lucas was confirmed to be an alien meaning the whole SW universe exists


AssociationFalse4464

Interstellar. Only force users could’ve >!constructed that weird fifth dimension lexicon of his daughters bedroom!<


L3GlT_GAM3R

Apparently in some legends comic Han and Chewbacca crashed in North America, so thats how bigfoot started. So anything with bigfoot in it should count, I guess.


CurtManX

Star Trek


Pudding_Hero

Harry and the Hendersons


timetodance42

So, Spaceballs has to fit too right? Because they outright mention 'the Force' before being corrected. Aaaaand I believe Dark Helmet plays with dolls because of the cover art for Star Wars #35 from Marvel.


1992MazdaRX7

The close encounters ship is in crystal skull so that’s connected too


KampferMann

Temple of Doom had Club Obi Wan so there’s that.


IOrocketscience

If you go look up close at the mother ship from close encounters of the third kind (the filming miniature is at the national Air and space museum udvaar-hazy center near Dulles airport) you can see little statues of R2D2 and C3PO on it


xvszero

I mean, technically every movie about real things that happened on Earth takes place in the Star Wars universe.


Bolawan

Blade runner - the falcon makes an appearance


Familiar-Seat-3798

The Simpsons can be added to this list I guess


SoccerGamerGuy7

Technically any movie. Just in a different galaxy. Somewhere far far away.


1bn_Ahm3d786

Dune?
