Posted by Sampo, on July 13th, 2013 Alert regular Paul suggests:
What are everyone’s favorite Star Wars references made by the Mystery Science Theater crew?
My favorites include riffs made during opening text crawl shots in the experiments that remind the riffers of the opening Star Wars text crawl shots, like the mild joke during start of The Phantom Creeps serial during Rocket Attack USA (Did George Lucas make this?), as well as the more overt jokes during the opening text crawl in Teenage Crimewave.
I was a little hesitant to do this one, because I didn’t think there were really that many. But since Paul emailed me, I’ve been noticing them in a lot of episodes. So, okay, let’s tackle it. I think I would have to pick the shot of Mama Trumpy’s cave in “Pod People,” prompting Tom to do his Yoda impression: “Luke! Finish your training, you will!”
What’s yours?
