Bail Organa's speeder is a homage to the Tucker automobile -- George Lucas was executive producer of Tucker: The Man and His Dream, directed by his friend Francis Ford Coppola.

A hot rod driven by Sen. Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits). It's based on the front of a Tucker that is parked at Skywalker Ranch. "George is an avid car fan, and when they were designing that car, he actually sent them over to the garage to take pictures of the Tucker," says Rob Coleman, animation director on the film.

previous SW film references

TPM:
-the ship flying into the huge freighter with the door closing (like Anakin does)
-the destroyer droids in front of the door (Qui Gon and Obi)

AOTC:
-can't remember

ANH:
-"you're shorter than I expected"

ESB: i guess someone said the stance of anakin vs. obi in the saber fight

ROTJ:
-the speeder bike shots
-the way palpatine is sitting watching anakin fight dooku is a lot like how he watches luke vs. vader

"Just before Anakin walks in on Palpatine, Palpatine can be seen studying a red diagram on thescreen (which he shuts off when Anakin comes in). The red diagram is of course, plans for the Death Star."

Are u sure? because if you are right there would be a big goof/joke. if you look more closely, the display also shows a symbol of a ship with a route going on the equatorial trench. probably showing its only weakness.

Not an egg but when skywalker is flying his jedi starfighter in the opening battle the sound of his ship speeding up is the same noise made when skywalker boost his way past Sebulba in the pob race finish. in short the podracer and the starfighter sound the same.

OK, in the battle scenes of Kashyyyk, we see 2 wookies (one I assumed was Chewbacca) swoop in on ropes to attack an Empire ground ship, as they swing in I heard the classic 'Tarzan' jungle yell.

Should I have my ears checked?

Something I noticed, i THINK palpatine was actaully looking at plans for the death star when anakin enters to tell him they located greivous (this is when palps claims hes a sith) It was in a red hologram infront of his face, but he turns it off really fast and all i could make out was a reddish orange circle/sphere

pretty sure i saw Palpatine looking at the death star plans, and that was probably the weakness he was looking at, but could have been something else. I also heard the tusken raider yell, but i think that was there on purpose.

ok,so my take on it is that SALPORIN,a wookiee from the Thrawn trilogy,Heir to the empire etc etc was the actual EU character in the film.he was one of Chewie's friends

jf26028:
I'm pretty sure the model Luke's playing with in ANH is a model of a T-16 Skyhopper, a vehicle referred to in the movie, but not actually seen. There's a whole scene with it in the NPR Radio Drama though.

Easter Eggs:
This is kinda dumb and I may be totally wrong, but near the end of ROTS on the Tantive IV the belt buckle of either Bail or Antilles has an emblem that looks like the head of an alien seen in the cantina scene in ANH.

Tarzan yell was lame.

Also, you are right about the red death star (though it's not well defined)

This is not an egg but a mirror: When Palpatine is saying: "Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy!", he has his face turned exactly as he does in ROTJ...which is kind of cool, since he is my fav. character!
