Plus there are weapons known as WarpForce Beamswords with the corresponding color in the name (they are from a game called WarpForce which was created by the same company).

    • In addition, the main antagonist, Golbez, bore several similarities to Darth Vader, including having strong potential in magic, being clad entirely in dark armor, changing his name after traumatic circumstances resulting in him being turned to evil, being revealed to be Cecil's brother in a similar manner to Darth Vader being revealed to be Luke's father, and eventually turning back to good and attempting to defeat the true villain in the game, the renegade Lunarian Zemus, who bore several similarities to Emperor Palpatine.

In addition, similar to Vader, he manages to turn back to good and redeems himself by attacking the Emperor.
  • In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2, a scene in which the main character discovers the wizard Lezaford heavily mirrors the scenes in which Luke discovers Ben Kenobi as Obi-Wan, as well as discovering Yoda's identity- stranger still is Lezaford's appearance, which seems to draw some small inspiration from Yoda. There are quests entitled "It's a Trap" and "I've Got a Bad Feeling." A "Light Saber" with a blue blade is also an available weapon.
  • In Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, the character Genesis Rhapsodos wields a sword that looks strikingly similar to a lightsaber.

  • During the second act of the first level, the characters complain to a witch about having to gather ingredients for a teleportation spell.

Luigi's MansionEdit

  • When Luigi first finds Mario, he is trapped in a painting, a nod to Han Solo in carbonite. Later when he encounters King Boo, the ghost king states: "I will not give up my favorite decoration.
