Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs 569
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."

YT-1300 vs Millenium Falcon (Score:5, Funny)
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!

Easter egg 2 - Hayden's acting - Given 2 hours + of movie time, it's entirely possible he appears to be able to act decently for that one frame through pure random coincidence. A similar concept of a stopped 'analog' watch is right accurate a day.
I think George Lucas got lucky with these two points.

I am surprised that the Ewoks did not turn out to be Chewbacca's midget children that he never knew about.
Everyone knows the Ewoks are a race of midget wookies.
Also, if you really pay attention, you learn the following things:
Yoda is Chewbacca's father.
While technically, yes, Anikin was "conceived" by the midicholorides or whatever the heck they're called, the real reason Anikin's mom was so vague about his conception was that she was having an affair with Watto at the time.
The real reason why Jar Jar was kicked out of the secret underwater city is because he was gettin' it on with Padame, an act strictly prohibited by the Gungan. However since they're pretty much all stupid, the gungans only description for sexual miconduct is "being clumsy". Proof of this is found in Episode II's tortured romantic discussions between Skywalker and Padame when she talks about her first boyfriend, and finalized by a split second shot in Episode III when Padame shoots Jar Jar one of "those" knowing looks.
If you pay close attention to the Millennium Falcon in Episode III, you notice that it is NOT the same ship they used in Episodes IV-VI. It's actually the original TOY they released to the general public back in the early 80s. This way, Lucas and his merchindising buddies can say that they toys everyone bought back in the 80s was actually a model of the ship in Episode III, and they should all go out and buy a new Millennium Falcon if they want the REAL Ep IV-VI toy.
Episode III is also the first Star Wars where we discover that people a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away sometimes suffered from terrible gas pains. This was shown by the expressions on Palpatine's face many times in the film (at first I thought it was bad acting, but later learned it was just gas).

Liar - this is what really happened:-
Xzbit "So this is your ride? What a piece of Junk!"
Han "Yeah - she may not look like much.."
Xzbit "Damm man, you got that right. So.. what IS it?"
Han "It's a Corellian YT-1300 light freighter"
Xzbit "You mean it USED to be! Look at this paint job - is that paint or dandruff ?"
Off to 'Western Spiral Arm Customs!'
Xzbit "Well, Han Western Spiral have done an amazing job on your YT, and here's ma droid Q to take you round the outside"
Q "When we first got your YT, Han it was so badly beat up, we didn't think it would fly at all.
Now we know you do a bit of smuggling so first we hit you with these Quad turbo laser cannons..
And that's not all: for a really powerful punch, we also added you very own Arakyd Concussion missile tubes!"
Han "No waaay - get outa town - you gave me my own missile launcher?!"
Q "We sure did, right there on your YT. Now, those weapons are great for when you're out on the
sublight highway, but what if some low lifes try and steal your ride from the docking bay? Well check this out: Taim & Bak hooked you up with this neat ventral Auto Blaster. It drops down and
takes out the bad guys."
Han "That is sooo neat"
Q "In fact, we couldn't let this one go without giving you the ultimate smuggler's package, so we
hit you with the Seinar Fleet systems Active Sensor Pulse Generator, a Torplex Fore Deflector
Shield generator, and Carbanti hooked you up with this 29L Electro-Magnetic Countermeasures
package. Not only that but here you got your Nordoxicon Anti-concussion Field generator, a
KaproCorp Acceleration compensator, for those tight turns, a Torplex Tandem Flight Computer with
the Microaxial HyD Modular Navicomputer with optional crop duster program. And round the back we got you a Novaldex Stasis-type Shield generator on the port side, with a Kuat drive-yards shield generator on the starboard side, and an Ion Flux Stabilser with Alluvial damper, and chrome spinners. We also did some boring shit to the engines but we don't talk about that on the show.."
Han "I can't believe what you guys did to my YT! It's the fastest hunk-a-junk in the galaxy
now!"
Xzbit "And that ain't all - check out your interior. Mike tell him what you did.."
Mike "When we got your ship in to the shop Han, you didn't *even* have a stereo, so we hooked you
up with the biggest satellite dish we could find, and a state of the art holographic display
right here in your lounge. And if there's nothing on the TV, it even plays chess!"
Xzbit "Now I know you're wondering where you actually store the stuff you're smuggling - Mike
show Han our special modification"
Mike (lifts floor panel) "Check out your very own smuggling copmpartments!"
Han "Oh. My. God. That is soooo awesome!"
Mike "And if you ever find that you need to smuggle yourself in these, we installed 10 inch
monitors and Holo player right here in the compartment lids, so you can watch movies whilst
hiding out!"
Xzbit "and finally Han, what's a ship these days without strobe lights? Now we want you to stand
out on the approach apron down at Mos Eisley so we hit you with the latest Gelieg 20m-cp
Strobe/C-beams. These puppies will light up the inside of an asteroid!"
Han "This is unbelievable - wait til Chewie sees this!"
Xzbit "Han - you officially bin pimped!"
