Actually, in some parts of the world it has already been the 25th, but for those where it hasn't been - today is the 25th anniversary of Return Of The Jedi. Celebrate the Force.

Wow, 25 years. A quarter-century. And ROTJ is still great despite its age!

Just noticed this on Endor:

Han: Luke! Where's Leia?
Luke: She didn't come back?
Han: I thought she was with you.
Luke: We got separated.

And uh, wrong thread I guess, but it was my first time noticing this in ANH when the gang is in the Falcon

Han: This is where the fun begins.

Both are references to ROTS. I am sure there are more and others have known this, but man it was my first time and I thought HEY! A CONNECTION! silly

It's impossible for ANH and ROTJ to contain references to ROTS, isn't it?

Think of it as Connections then happy

Lucas could have put "this is where the fun begins" in ROTS to make it seem like ANH references it, when you watch the 6 movies in order. Or look at this way: He looked at the Classics and picked some of their lines to plant them in the Prequels. Case in point: "I have a bad feeling about this"

Either that or it is just a coincidence.

Either that or it just must have seeped into Lucas' subconscious.

Nope Lucas actually said when doing the prequels, especially ROTS, that there'd be many parallels to the OT.

For example Anakin vs Dooku on the bridge ala Luke vs Vader on the bridge.
All the quotes repeated threw the saga.
and even shots that resemble those of the OT.
