Star Wars VII reference.

Character Allo Asty (Hello Nasty, get it?) from the new star wars movie apparently tribute to the Boys.

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?

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.

He's a 40ish Jewish kid from NYC. Of course he's a fan!

I'm a SW nerd and I love the nod!

[dirtydan11]

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

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

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.
