Star Wars VII reference.

I love the Beasties, but this is bodes badly as far as the new Star Wars movies. Why do they need to throw in "clever" references to modern day anything? All it does is detract from the story and the fiction of the whole thing. References to ET, Jar Jar saying "Exqueeze me?" Why not throw in Darth Vader b-boying, Storm Troopers can break out in the Thriller Dance and Bobba Fett can get Rick Rolled in there somewhere?

I agree 100%. I hate all that shit, even R2 & 3PO carved into the imagery of the snake pit in Raiders. It's dumb.

If the new Star Wars sucks, and it certainly likes like there is a good possibility, it will have nothing to do with vague pop culture references.
