Yeah, but it was still too frequent.
Oh I agree....but that was an example of one that was done ok...if it had been only one of few. |

I can agree to that. Had that been one of like....five Easter eggs that nod back to ANH, I would have been happier. Unfortunately, by that sequence in the movie, we were already force fed like ten things. |

When it comes to easter eggs, despite my lower than average opinion of R1, it had the best "fanservice" moment. Vader not only made the fans squeal and connected R1 to ANH but it also actively served the story by being the connecting fibre between those two movies. Star Wars has never been great at fanservice/easter eggs imo. When theyre there they usually dont service the story in any real way, that goes for the prequels too.

I always thought that "Hello there" was one of the greatest fanservice moments, but then it could be because I was never big on memes at the time and it took me literally years after the Prequels came out to notice how it tied back in. Such a nice moment  |

But then there was stuff like Ponda Baba and Dr. Evizen showing up. They were completely useless, and conveniently managed to get out of Jedha City (which is dumb in and of itself to name a city after a planet) the same day that there was no more Jedha City, and then end up hiding out in a star port critical to the plot of the next chronological movie. Or the Ghost showing up. In SWR, they had that ship in every major engagement, so it would stand to reason that if Hera was at Yavin base, then she would have been involved in the assault on the Death Star. BUT, as we all know, only X & Y Wings were involved....with a special guest appearance by the Mutha-#$%&in' Falcon. IMO, this kind of reckless fan-service detracts. I always thought that "Hello there" was one of the greatest fanservice moments, but then it could be because I was never big on memes at the time and it took me literally years after the Prequels came out to notice how it tied back in. Such a nice moment And of all the times I've seen it, I never once connected them.  |

Such a nice moment The difference there was it was showcasing a character trait. People tend to have certain phrases they keep with them and this was established as a greeting Obi-Wan preferred. Ewan also would stroke his beard similarly to Sir Alec. These were both nice subtle nostalgic nods as well as serving as character traits. |

It's one of those things once you link it, you can't un-link it ever again. Annnddd... completed another quarantine project. Been wanting to make this shelf for a few weeks for Pops and figurines and such. If this stay-at-home stuff sticks around for a while longer I'm going to have more movie props and Star wars projects completed than I know what to do with.  |
