Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs

Ant writes "Via TheForce.Net, a StarWars.com article with a great list of Easter Eggs from the third prequel movie, Revenge of the Sith. There were many cameos and hidden images." From the article: " It's tiny, but visible enough to send a warm fuzzy through the hearts of original trilogy fans. In the establishing shot of the expansive Senate docking bays, there's a tiny Millennium Falcon easing into frame. And it's not just a non-descript Corellian freighter; it's on good authority -- namely George Lucas -- that this is the infamous hunk-of-junk before it came into the ownership of either Lando Calrissian or Han Solo."

    There's also two Easter eggs not mentioned in the article, because they're very difficult to find. In the first you can see someone in the background mumbling something, which is clearly a decent part of a dialogue. In the second, for one frame, you can see Hayden Christensen actually acting (it's uncertain, however, is it the real Hayden Christensen or just a Hayden Christensen 3D-model).

  3. YT-1300 vs Millenium Falcon by janestarz · · Score: 5, Funny
    As I was discussing with a friend on my regular D&D night, the difference between a YT-1300 Corellian freighter and the Millenium Falcon, is that the MF is slightly...modified, shall we say? It's a YT-1300++, so to speak
    I did not know for instance, that the original YT-1300s have seperate jets while the MF has a big semi-ring of motor power block jet thingies.
    (Girl going tech/mech here, beware.)

    Ah well, Lando did some last minute remodifications when visiting the Second Death Star and scraped the hull a bit, incidentally losing the communications array too.

    What do you mean, -3 off-topic? I'm a girl geek, what do I know of topics anyway!

  4. The Millennium Falcon Cameo by Badmovies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Six degrees of separation my butt! From what Lucas has shown us, it is more like one or two in the "Star Wars" universe. Between the droids being around young Anakin and now the Millennium Falcon showing up, I have lost track of how many times things are tied in together. I am surprised that the Ewoks did not turn out to be Chewbacca's midget children that he never knew about.

    Bah! If Captain Kirk had been there, he would have had Spock and McCoy whip him up a super-charged shot with the same stuff, and once his midideloreans hit 88, you'd see some serious shit!
