What is your Fav SW reference from a Kevin Smith Movie ?

Ok I dunno if this has done before, probably has but oh well...

What is your Favorite Star Wars reference from these five Kevin Smith Movies

CLERKS: Dante and Randel talk about RTOJ and innocent contractors being killed in the second Death Star. While Chewbecca's song is being played in the background.

MALLRATS: After watching ESB and ROTJ Slient Bob tries to use the force. Slient Bob pulls a Luke Skywalker from ESB hanging upside down and uses the force to get the VHS tape stuck between some bars holding up some stage for a cheesey dating game show.

CHASING AMY: Hooper talks about how Star Wars is how the white man keeps the brother man down even in a galaxy far far away. Then Holden brings up Lando being black and a positive role model in the relam of sic fic fantasy.

DOGMA: Jay tells Bethany that he feels like Han and she is Obi Wan and their in that bleep uped bar. Also one that was cut from the orginal movie Matt Damon ( Loki) compares the Empire and Organized religion.

JAY AND SLIENT BOB STRIKE BACK: Ben Afleck (Holden) talks about Geedo shooting first. Then at the very end the Jay and Slient Bob have what looks like a light saber fight with Mark Hamill. Plus having Carrie Fisher play a nun. I think it was the first time since RTOJ Mark and Carrie were in the same movie too.


My fav is Clerks I love how Kevin Smith put the Chewbecca song on while they're talking about Star Wars that was totally awesome

So what is your fav ?

If you never seen a Kevin Smith....I'm sorry but its not too late to go out an rent one or even better buy one

 

Whoops, wrong forum

 

Atomik, this IS Star Wars community



Anyway, my favorite SW reference in the View Askew series is the fact that he named a flick "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and did the logo and everything.



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

They specifically said that Episode 1 wasnt a Star Wars movie, in J&B Strike Back.

Then Ben Affleck mentions "_____would be the worst revelation since Greedo shooting first."

Jay: Straight up.

(Or something like that.)

 

I gotta go with the racism discussion in Chasing Amy.

 

The light saber fight with Mark Hamill in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. That was just funny!

 

After Clerks my 2nd fav would have to Jay and Slient Bob Strike Back the movie has star wars all over it from the Title and stars its great. Plus even heard on commentary that Jason Mewes hit on Carrie Fisher hahahaha Then you Mark Hamill going not again after his hand is chopped off hahaha great stuff.

 

Dont F with the jedi master, son.

 

Awesome thread, MikeSolo! I love Kevin Smith's Star Wars references!


I have to go with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back though...a hilarious movie with tons of Star Wars homages..truly great.




Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

I like in Chasing Amy when Holden says "I'll try" then Silent Bob goes "no no no, do or do not there is no try" Jay smacks him on the head "knock that **** off we got a bus to catch, jedi bitch"

 

One word sums up the total awesomeness and true coolness of this thread....



Snoogins



Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

I can't pick just one I like them all... cause just plan and simple Kevin Smith Rules!

 

Hoopers speech in Chasing Amy. That is just so beautiful... *sniff*

All you need is love!

 

Silent Bob's use of "The Force" in Mallrats to get the tape.

And then his subsequent saying, "Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things."

That's my favorite...along with the Death Star worker discussion in Clerks

 

I don't know if this has been posted before but here is what Kevin Smith had to say about ATOC.

"...From the get-go, Lucas captures my limited imagination with one simple proposition. Darth Vader was once a teenager. How pedestrian,yet how profound! Evil's gotta start somewhere, right? Why not show why Johnny can't read - or in this case, can't play well with others, and insists on using the Force to choke underlings who don't live up to his expectations? From the hit-or-miss origin of Phantom Menace's take on baby Anakin as the galactic Hitler in short pants, Clones ups the ante by presenting us with the heart of darkness right where everyone's always known it lies: in the passions of a volatile high schooler.
Right off the bat, Anakin is portrayed as a kid who thinks he knows more than he does, and insists on proving to everybody that he's as good as them, if not better. I went to high school with his guy. Granted, he didn't grow up to carbon-freeze anybody (in truth, I believe he works at a Shell station now), but had he been given a lightsaber and taught how to pull the Jedi Mind Trick on folks, he might've.

In Clones, Anakin is a twelfth grader with a license and parents who want him home by eight: he's a disaster waiting to happen. Who else but a tortured teen leaps out of a sky-speeder to capture a bounty hunter who's talked smack about his girl (or, in the case of Clones, set loose killer centipedes in her bedroom)? With little-to-no concern for his own well-being, based largely on his assumption that he's immortal (that worst of teenage attributes), young Skywalker forces Zam Wessel's craft (how sad is it that I'm 31 and I know the name of a character who's never really identified and appears only fleetingly in the film?) to crash-land in a densely populated city, and then pursues her (it) into a bar only to watch his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, make the final collar. And how does the Force-ful whelp wrap it all up with the wide-eyed cantina bystanders? He tosses them a condescending "This is Jedi business." The balls on this kid! ...

There's something bittersweet about the fall of Darth Vader now, that hadn't existed before Clones: had his mother simply died of old age, the guy might never have developed that extreme case of asthma he seems to suffer from in Star Wars, Empire, and Return of the Jedi.

Which leads to the most haunting moment of Clones for me: when Anakin breaks down to his puppy love, Amidala, and confesses that he butchered that no-good bunch of sand-eating bandage wearers with his hi-tech Zippo. This scene really resonated with me, because Amidala wears this expression that very quietly says "Holy Christ I'm in love with a human time-bomb." The sad, hopeless look on her face upon learning of his murder spree brought to mind that moment in Jedi when Luke asked Leia if she rememered what her (and his) mother was like. Leia (in what may be Carrie Fisher's finest hour in the original trilogy) reminisced that her mother always seemed sad. Here, nearly 20 years later, we get to see what Leia was talking about.

And that's what worked best for me about the Anakin arc in Clones: the doomed love affair of Anakin and Amidala. Most of the critics dismissed this as the flick's most ham-fistedly handled aspect, but I thought it played out tragically and beautifully. High marks to both Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman, because I completely bought their relationship. He wants her desperately without really even know! ing why, as do all teenage boys when they find who they assume is their one-true in high school. And even though she knows this guy is poison, she can't help but fall for him - the little slave-boy that grew up to be a conflicted, impetuous hat tank who insists everyone's giving him a raw deal. In high school, the really hot chicks always went for the massive ****-ups, and eventually wound up married to them. But this marriage doesn't end in small town affiars and divorce; this marriage ends with the girl scattering her kids across the galaxy to save them from their father,

 

I love that Kevin Smith article. Yes, he really gets Ani and Padme. I'm glad to see someone who doesn't just bash the love story. He gets Anakin too. I thought HC was dead on in the film myself.

Anyway, back to references, using the "Force Grab" to get the tape; the "do or do not, there is no try" in Chasing Amy, and when Mark Hamill says "Dont **** with the Jedi Master, boy!" I wish DV would have said that in ESB! Also, when Mark gets his hand cut off and says "Not again!"

 

My favorite is when Randall and Dante are discussing the workers on the second Death Star in Clerks.

 

I don't know if anyone here has seen the Clerks Cartoons DVD. Its six epsiodes of the Clerks Cartoon which didn't do that well on ABC.

Well anyways their is tons of Star Wars references in those cartoons. One is when Dante and Randal get trapped in the frezzer at Quick Stop...Randal is like its Hoth Cold in here. They also have one where George Lucas is in the cartoon.

So has anyone seen them ?

 

All of them!!!
Excellent Thread!!!
1st time I come to the SW Miscellaneous forum & there's a Kevin Smith thread! Very Cooool Mike Solo
I Love Kevin Smith I have all 5 flicks & the Clerks Cartoon & An Evening with Kevin Smith DVDs too
And I'm from Jersey Jersey Represent!! Sorry, It just felt right
BTW Mike Solo This is a Terribly hard Question!!! I Can't even choose which Kevin Smith film is my Favorite!

I can't decide!! Probably the 1st one, From Clerks, But I Love ALL of them!
The Mallrats & Chasing Amy moments are a close 2nd

I also Love the part darkOmegazer0 mentioned!
Snoogins Indeed Ken Kenobi Snootchie Bootchies too!

My Favorite Non SW homage line is from DOGMA... "No ticket You know where it's from

Think I'll watch a Kevin Smith film...But which one?!

P.S. For anyone who s Kevin Smith, The "An Evening with Kevin Smith" DVD is a Must have It's LOL hysterical

 

I have the An Evening with Kevin Smith too...that was soo cool and really funny. It got me thinking would George Lucas ever do something like that maybe or has he back in the 80s ??

 

I almost choked to death when in "...Strike Back" the two kids go to Randall and Dante, and tell them Jay said they had a Star Wars wedding, and Randall was the butch, and Dante was the beeatch. That's to say, if I haven't got their names mixed up

Also...Darth Bong is the greatest Sith of all time!

 

Mines from Dogma "No Ticket" - oh wait, thats from the Indy trilogy. Sorry

I've got to go with the saber fight. Its fantastic, more action than ANH, but not as much emotion. Hamill gets beaten in another Saber duel. He's 1 from 3 right now.

 

Okay, the entire Silent Bob trying to levitate stuff (cigs, video tapes) in Mallrats is the best SW ref of all... I love his face as he's concentrating.

A close second is "Don't **** with a Jedi Master, son." I almsot died laughing, seeing that for the first time in the theater.


KEVIN SMITH RULES! Can't wait for Jersey Girl!

 

From Chasing Amy:
"He get's a whole KLAN of white boys and they go bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star! Now what do you call that?"

"Intergalactic Civil War?"
