I’ve always loved spotting the Easter eggs between Steven Spielberg and George Lucas projects, such as Star Wars‘ R2-D2 cameo on the mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Club Obi-Wan in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (just to name a couple). Perhaps the most well-known are the complementary connections between Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Lucas’ infamous galaxy far, far away with Yoda appearing in the former and a pack of E.T.’s appearing in Star Wars – Episode I: The Phantom Menace (is it a pack of E.T.’s or a herd? A flock? A litter of E.T.’s sounds about right).
