Star Wars VII reference.
Character Allo Asty (Hello Nasty, get it?) from the new star wars movie apparently tribute to the Boys.
http://makingstarwars.net/2015/09/st...-is-a-beastie/ I was wondering if this tradition of squeezing in little Beastie nods would continue from Star Trek into Star Wars. Is JJ Abrams a fan?

Re: 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?

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

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
I'm with you. It's totally awesome!
Of course being very biased. I would puke if he was a fan of some band I hated and I knew there were references. But whatever, we are lucky! I am also a huge Star Wars fan and if I were JJ Abrams I would do the same. It was done cleverly enough that its not obvious to non fans anyway

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
How could anyone hate on Beasties and Star Wars united?!? I guess it was also wack when Mike D spit that 'I walk like Jabba the Hut' line too, RIGHT... Come on guys

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
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.

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
If someone had a problem with a pop culture reference in a Beastie Boys song, they might not understand what a Beastie Boys song is. But, a Beastie reference in a Star Wars movie is a whole other topic.

based on? I don't know what would give you that perception, it seems like it is picking up some steam as far as hype and expectations go. I expect it to outshine the prequels but that's not expecting much. that is indeed what the link in the original post details.

I knew this was going to happen in some way and I think it's dope as fuck.

I support this. I doubt it will be so blatant that it detracts from the immersive qualities of the film.

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
There are actually a lot of Star Wars characters that are sneaky references to modern pop culture, it's kind of a tradition that's carried on in all previous 6 films.

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
This is a really interesting list of many many words, characters, and places in the Star Wars universe and how they got their name.
I could only find a handful of actual pop references in there, but I'll try to find more of those. http://www.starwarsselect.com/wordorigins.html One example of a pop reference is Gi, Sha'a. This self-doubting Jedi Padawan's name and appearance are a nod to Scooby Doo's panicky pal Shaggy.

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
I love Star Wars. Yes, the prequels make me cringe during viewings. But, the new show Rebels is great and I trust in JJ. Plus, BB-8 looks dope!

I read that the BB-8 droid is also a Beastie Boys nod. Not sure if that's totally true, but I can see it.

Re: Star Wars VII reference.
There's also a Bothan called Eaky Ouch and it's a reference to sneaky pouch.
Rumor has it they'll be playing sections from In Sound From Way Out in the Creature Cantina. Fuck Star Wars, this shit is going to be the next B-Boys movie. |
