Blade Runner (1982) - A model of Han Solo's ship from the original Star Wars trilogy, the Millennium Falcon, was used as a futuristic building in several scenes throughout the film. Model Maker William George had been scratch-building the model in his spare time for his own amusement. During the filming of Blade Runner, the model making team was desperate to get more buildings into the L.A. cityscape. So they took George's five-foot-tall, wood and plastic model, decked it out with etched brass, tubing and fiber optics for illumination and placed into several scenes.

The Falcon/building makes most of its appearances when Gaff and Deckard are flying in the police spinner to the police station. The Falcon is standing on it's tail end and has a large platform with towers and spires on the nose.

Cecil B. DeMented (2000) - [1] Star Wars is on the marquee of a theater [2] Even though it was not intended as a compliment, Waters was delighted with the nickname. Apparently he was saving it in the back of his mind for the time when he would satirize everything the mainstream film industry stands for. That time has apparently come.

[6] In the making of Chicken Run (on the DVD special features) Nick Park (creator/animator) is describing the huge chicken machine as, "...the Death Star of chicken-dom"

Chasing Amy (1997) - [1] Hooper (Ewell) says that Holden (Affleck) is, '...going to the darkside"  [2] After 'Chasing Amy' speech Silent Bob (Smith) says to Holden, "do, or do not.  There is no try"  [3] HOLDEN (calling out) Bulls*t! Lando Calrissian was a black man, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon! Hooper whips his head around, looking for the source of the comment HOOPER Who said that?!? HOLDEN (standing) I did! Lando Calrissian is a positive black role model in the realm of Science Fiction/Fantasy. HOOPER F**k Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom n**ger! Always some white boy gotta invoke 'the holy trilogy!' Bust this - those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down - even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this s**t. You got cracker farm-boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy - blond hair, blue eyes. And then you've got Darth Vader: the blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian God. BANKY (Lee) What's a Nubian? HOOPER Shut the f**k up! Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, with the force and all that s**t. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a light- saber, and the boy decides he's gonna run the f**king universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's 'hood the Death Star. Now what the f**k do you call that! BANKY Intergalactic Civil War! HOOPER Gentrification. They're gonna drive our the black element, to make the galaxy quote, unquote 'safe' for white folks. HOLDEN But Vader turns, out to be Luke's father. And in Jedi, they become friends. HOOPER Don't make me bust a cap in your a*s, yo! Jedi's the most insulting installment, because Vader's beautiful, black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty white man! They're trying to tell us that deep inside, we all want to be white! (Thanks to Sander for #3!)

Clerks (1994) -[1] script RANDAL (Anderson) 'there was something else going on in Jedi. I never noticed it until today.' DANTE (O'Halloran): What's that? RANDAL: All right, Vader's boss...  DANTE: The Emperor.   RANDAL: Right, the Emperor. Now the Emperor is kind of a spiritual figure, yes?  DANTE: How do you mean?   RANDAL: Well, he's like the pope for the dark side of the Force. He's a holy man; a shaman, kind of, albeit an evil one.   DANTE: I guess.   RANDAL: Now, he's in charge of the Empire. The Imperial government is under his control. And the entire galaxy is under Imperial rule.  DANTE: Yeah.  RANDAL: Then wouldn't that logically mean that it's a theocracy? If the head of the Empire is a priest of some sort, then it stands to reason that the government is therefore one based on religion.   DANTE: It would stand to reason, yes.  RANDAL: Hence, the Empire was a fascist theocracy, and the rebel forces were therefore battling religious persecution.  DANTE: More or less.  RANDAL: The only problem is that at no point in the series did I ever hear Leia or any of the rebels declare a particular religious belief.  DANTE: I think they were Catholics' [2] RANDAL: You know what I just watched? DANTE: Me pulling a can off some moron's fist  RANDAL: Return of the Jedi.  DANTE Didn't you hear me? Caitlin really is getting married.  RANDAL Which did you like better: Jedi or The Empire Strikes Back.  DANTE (exasperated) Empire.  RANDAL Blasphemy.  DANTE Empire had the better ending: Luke gets his hand cut off, and finds out Vader's his father; Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett.  It ends on such a down note. And that's life-a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.  RANDAL There was something else going on in Jedi. I never noticed it until today.  RANDAL follows DANTE as he cleans up around the store.  DANTE What's that? then came reference #1 from the script,  followed by:      RANDAL You know what else I noticed in Jedi?  DANTE There's more?  RANDAL So they build another Death Star, right?   DANTE Yeah.  RANDAL Now the first one they built was completed and fully operational before the Rebels destroyed it.   DANTE Luke blew it up. Give credit where it's due.  RANDAL And the second one was still being built when they blew it up.   DANTE Compliments of Lando Calrissian.  RANDAL Something just never sat right with me the second time they destroyed it. I could never put my finger on it-something just wasn't right.  DANTE And you figured it out?  RANDAL Well, the thing is, the first Death Star was manned by the Imperial army-storm troopers, dignitaries- the only people onboard were Imperials.  DANTE Basically.  RANDAL So when they blew it up, no prob. Evil is punished.  DANTE And the second time around...?   RANDAL The second time around, it wasn't even finished yet. They were still under construction.  DANTE So?  RANDAL A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had  to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers.  DANTE Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at.  RANDAL Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.   DANTE All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction?   RANDAL All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed- casualties of a war they had nothing to do with.  (notices Dante's confusion) All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of  benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. (MORE)  RANDAL (CONT'D) You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.  The BLUE-COLLAR MAN joins them.   BLUE-COLLAR MAN  Excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt, but what were you talking about?  RANDAL The ending of Return of the Jedi.  DANTE My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed by the rebels.  (Thanks to Sander for reference #2!)
