    WARNING: THERE MAY BE SPOILERS HERE.

    ILM and Skywalker Sound helped make Iron Man the movie. I noticed a bunch of Star Wars related references in the movie. I'm sure I missed a lot though. Post your favorite star wars references from the movie. Mine was...

    when the guy who was helping Tony Stark build the Mark 1 suit, "bought him some time" and ran through the cave at the terrorists, eventually ending up on a large group of terrorists. It looked second for second like Han Solo chasing the storm troopers down the hallway minus Chewy.

    Obviously, the pan across the desert with many people poking around to the guy lifting up the piece of metal in his hands (the face plate), showing it to the other guy ala "Look Sir, Droids".

    The way Tony and Pepper dance around their incestuous attraction. Hahaha, just joking about that one.

    Episode 4 degrees of separation:
    Jeff Bridges as "Obi" Shane in Iron Man --> Jeff Bridges as The Dude in the Big Lebowski --> The Dude as Ben in our own Fanboy 2, Fanboy Strike Back --> Ben is the nickname for "Obi"-wan in Star Wars

    SPOILER: (highlight below to see better, tried to hide it but I couldn't pick the background color exactly)
    Samuel L. Jackson as a bald black badass heading up another group of so-called peace keepers. And as Vader pointed out you have expect him to turn around and tell Tony to "Take a seat" or ask "A Sith Lord?"
    Be sure to stay until after the credits and you'll know about this.

    I'm sure there are more.

    I believe someone was finding it difficult to contribute to this jolly bit of forum fun. It's okay, ice1138, keep trying, don't give up.

    I mean, come on, is this really a stretch... - Iron Man hanging on to the F22 just like Anakin on Zam Wezzel's speeder in Episode II, not to mention all the falling that Iron Man did which is in every Star Wars movie?

    These can not be coincidences or just random similarities. Can it? Believe, man!....believe.

    This is TK8049 posting on PVs computer but I did indeed notice several other STAR WARS refrences in IRON MAN upon my 2nd viewing and they are:

    1. When they are getting ready to torture Tony's apprentice with the hot poker thingy in the cave when they lean him forward it looks alot like when Han gets tortured by Vader in EMPIRE.

    2. This is kind of a stretch but when Tony is going 2 the FIremans Ball thing they show a shot of his cars engine and it looks suspiciously like the front half of a jedi starfighter in SITH.

    3. IRON MAN "hides" on a jet. Cute.
