  • Enemy units seen in mission 4 of the Terran campaign yell "You rebel scum," and later on, "It's them! Blast them!" when encountered by the player.

  • Protoss Zealots wield lightsaber-like weapons that are attached to their forearms.
  • In the Game Manual in the back credits there is a special thanks section which includes George Lucas.

StarFoxEdit

An Arwing, a ship very similar to the X-Wing.
  • In Starfox and the 1993 comic (But not in the sequels), Andross is referred to as emperor and the enemy forces are sometimes called Imperial Lizards. Quite possibly referencing Star Wars's fight against the evil Empire.
  • The Arwing (pronounced "R-wing") and Wolfen are incredibly similar to the many starfighters of Star Wars such as the X-wing.
  • The constant use by Peppy and James of the phrase "trust your instincts" is likely a reference to the line "Trust your feelings" and derivatives of.
  • The roles and personalities of the main characters can be quite closely compared with original trilogy characters: Fox (Luke), Peppy (Obi-Wan), Slippy (C-3PO), Falco (Han) and Rob (C-3PO/R2-D2).
  • During the final battle with Andross, the main villain in Star Fox 64 (as well as the original Star Fox game and Star Fox Adventures), speaks the line "I've been waiting for you, Star Fox"; this is likely to be a reference to Darth Vader's line to Obi-Wan Kenobi just before their duel in Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. The difference being that Vader's line was "I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan." Andross also says, at one point, "You will die just like your father!"; Darth Sidious taunted Galen Marek with similar words during their epic clash aboard the first Death Star in The Force Unleashed.
  • In a quite possibly unintentional tip of the hat to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the track "Through the flames" from the Return of the Jedi soundtrack fits in almost perfectly during the escape from the explosion, reaching its crescendo as the two fighters exit, just barely burning their afterburners.
  • There is a character named Pigma Dengar in the game, who shares his name with Dengar, a bounty hunter.
  • The opening music sounds very similar to the opening music from Star Wars, composed by John Williams.
  • One of Peppy's lines, "I have a bad feeling about this", is a line commonly used in all of the Star Wars movies. He also shouts "It's a trap!" in a similar tone to Admiral Ackbar.
  • The mission Bolse in Star Fox 64 is very similar to the Battle of Yavin, where Star Fox destroys energy towers in order to take out a satellite.
  • The ending sequence of Star Fox 64 is cinematically very similar to the ending of A New Hope. (An award ceremony thanking the heros where troops stand at attention on the sides)
  • In Star Fox Assault, the Cornerian Fighters strongly resemble colorless V-Wing starfighters, as used in the Clone Wars.
  • The plot of Star Fox: Assault, involving a sudden overwhelming attack by an unknown alien race that uses organic technology, may be an homage to The New Jedi Order series of novels.

Vampire: The Masquerade – BloodlinesEdit

  • In Chinatown, when releasing a girl from captivity of a gang of local thugs known as the Tong, she will reply: "Aren't you a little tall for a Tong"? A clear reference to Leia's line to Luke in ANH when he comes to release her from captivity on the Death Star.

The quest rewards you with an item called a Power Converter, the description of which reads "Use: Destroys technological terror constructs" and "The next best thing to going to the Academy".
