    Actually the card stock of the original Vader figure said Dark Lord of the Sith on it in 1977

    Not a prequel reference, but after seeing the film four times I'm fairly certain there is a Falleen (like Prince Xizor from Shadows of the Empire) in Maz's pub who walks by the camera right before the camera shows Maz for the first time. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me though haha

    I think one references Ziro the Hutt from The Clone Wars as well.

    Did anyone else feel the opening shot was a reference to the opening shot of ROTS?

    The term was also in GL's original drafts of scripts before it became Star Wars as we know it.

    I looked for that. Turns out it's the guy who looks like he's related to an Ithorian (below, far left)

    well I watched TPM and AOTC here this past week and I thought of a few

    Shmi Skywalker really reminds me of Rey, I know it's just looks but I couldn't help think of the time traveling theory lol

    and in AOTC the fireplace scene really reminded me of Kylo Ren talking to Vader's helmet I actually burst out laughing Anakin sounded like he was spouting rehearsed poetry and it just reminded me of Kylo Ren I said "wow Kylo is like his grandfather"

    Some of Rey's saber moves in the final duel are reminiscent of Anakin vs. Dooku in ROTS (as well as Luke vs. Vader in ROTJ).

    Its been three or four months since I've seen it but I seem to recall someone said "The Hyperdrive is leaking" and the first thing I thought of was when the same thing happened in Episode I.

    Didn't have time 2 read all the prior posts but so 4 give me if it was pointed out. When the Starkiller sucked the last of the light of the sun & it went dark on Kylo in the Oscillator facility, it reminded me of Anakin on Mustafar over looking the lava looking up to the sunlight that was starting 2 b blocked by the clouds & eclipse of a near by planet as it was going dark on him & he cried.

    Also the Chrome on Phasma's armor & Kylo's mask came from a Naboo ship. Possibly Padme's.

    I read somewhere it was Palpatine's ship. They seemed to state it as if it was a fact. Not sure where they got it from, though. Oh wait I think they were discussing it on IGN's Rebel Base some time ago.

    Rey and Darth Sidious make the same attack movement as their first move. Compare when Rey takes the saber and moves in and when the Jedi try to arrest Sidious in his office.
