Oh yeah, I think I read about that somewhere. Doesn't it end with Indiana Jones finding a crashed Millenium Falcon?

I remember this from Yoda Stories.

Well doesn't that ruin the joke

Xantar

Xantar was a planet located within the Xantar system of the Outer Rim Territories' Corva sector. It included green forests, and was the homeworld of a gray-skinned sentient species. Luke Skywalker visited the world as the guest of a native pilot, and met another human visitor, Indiana Jones.[2]...

Never heard about that, this is what I was thinking of.

Yes, many probably didn't know the reference.

That's why I made it. Obscure trivia is my bread and butter.

Has Star Wars ever crossed over with another franchise? I mean full on crossovers, not just silly cameos. The closes thing I can think of right now is the Star Wars episode of The Muppet Show, which had 3PO, R2, Chewie and Mark Hamill as both himself and Luke. I'm not counting the Family Guy episodes, since they were Family Guy adaptations of The Original Trilogy, not crossovers with the two casts interacting.

No, and it's probably the better for it. It's one thing to do it with comic book or video game type properties that are built for that kind of thing, but Star Wars? It'd be like having a LorR crossover, which would be just . . . wrong.

The closest they ever came I think was that April Fools joke from years back, when they added a bunch of articles to the official databank that effectively made 'Willow' take place on a planet in the Star Wars galaxy.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Well, we did see a delegation of ET's in the Senate in The Phantom Menace.

 

[JD]

Oh right, I forgot about that. And wasn't the Millenium Falcon in the background at least once in Star Trek?

 

[Set Harth]

Yes, in First Contact.

Yep. In First Contact. And R2D2 was in both of JJ Abrams Trek movies.

 

[cooleddie74]

Heck, R2-D2 is on the hull of the Mothership at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

 

[Set Harth]

He gets around!

R2D2 and C3PO were amongst the hieroglyphics in the Well of Souls in Raiders of the Lost Ark. And now we're full circle with the Star Wars / Indy crossover.

 

[JD]

They really do love sneaking those little easter eggs into movie.

 

[Tuskin38]

R2D2 and C-3POs names are on a medical device Beverly uses in (I think) TNG The Inner Light.

One episode had a computer screen that mentioned Alderaan, but they changed it to Aldebaran in Remastered. It's also mention on a display in DS9

It's also mention on a display in DS9

In the episode A Man Alone.

I also seem to recall that one of the crew quarters on the Enterprise-D belongs to one "Commander Luke Skywalker".

 

[JD]

Wow, I had no idea there was all of that too. I knew there were a few joke things in the signs and displays, but I didn't realize so many of them were Star Wars related.

The art department was full of nerds. I used to know a guy who joined the art department in the 90s. He was part of my nerd group in the 80s. He was always the guy first in line for a Star Wars film and would wait overnight for the early show. I'd show up later and step right in. His name pops up on Okudagrams and other graphics. Okuda and Sternbach's nerdom is unrivaled.

 

[Tuskin38]

a lot of anime/manga references as well.
