I was wondering why their lives didn't fall apart this quickly when they were kidnapped as babies, or when Vandal Savage had an army of Russian Firestorms roast America.

At least there was no dianoga in the trash compactor. 
That point where they're trying to get out, and George falls over, into Nate's lap.

When has it ever been possible to take this show's events seriously?
Okay...if this Earth had a Super Friends cartoon doesn't that present some continuity issues??
It had a Hanna-Barbera cartoon whose villains were called the Legion of Doom. Presumably it was a different H-B cartoon than the one we had, using the name for different fictional characters.
They've referenced Star Wars almost every other episode. At least this time they had good cause to.
I just had a thought: They should've done an epilogue where Ray dropped in on George Lucas in 1997 and said, "Listen carefully, George! Whatever you do, don't let Greedo shoot first!"

There's a difference between referencing something in passing and actually attempting to recreate an actual scene from something just for the sake of going "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, did you see what we did?", which is what happened here, and it completely ruined the momentum of the episode.
^ I liked it.
I wonder if the Waverider has all the Star Wars movies up to the 22nd century.

This story wasn't meant to be taken seriously (like a lot of the show in general) I for one LOVED the trash compactor scene, I was laughing my ass off. It was on the whole hilarious and entertaining. YMMV.
I thought it was fun.
They were gonna have a "heroes in peril" situation anyway, and with George Lucas being among them, why not go for this?
Probably not all, just some... like Episode IV, V, VIII, XXIV, XLII, VXXIX, CXXXII and the Jar Jar Adventures Supreme Trilogy... you know, the classics.
In the movie night scene, I was hoping they'd mess with us and list Star Wars / Indy films that didn't exist.
Word!
Exactly. When your basic plot is "We have to save the future by keeping George Lucas from dropping out of film school," you're already doing a cheeky lark, so you might as well dial it up to eleven and milk the gag for all it's worth. It was supposed to be silly.
Personally, I thought it was a hoot.
And, yes, I laughed out loud at the "Howard the Duck" gag, too.
I forgot to mention that as I really laughed at that too, and was thinking - wow, these writers may be bigger nerds than I am.
I was pleasantly surprised they only poked fun at Howard the Duck. He produced it for two of his friends and basically let them make the movie they wanted. The joked worked that Amaya thought the title alone sounded cute. Anything else would have no frame of reference to her.
Maybe in this timeline, it was Lucas who produced Back to the Future rather than Spielberg.
Then again, given how freaked out intern George was by the time-travelers' attack, maybe that's why the Star Wars franchise has so studiously avoided time travel, unlike most other sci-fi universes.
He probably wrote it, but couldn't get backing after similarly themed Rip Hunter - The Movie by Phil Gasmer failed at the box office.
