It starts “ A farseeing , long sentence ago , in a galaxy far , far away … ” but is it ? Do we really know for certain the upshot of the Star Wars pic did n’t or wo n’t happen in the Milky Way ? Because here are eight connections that only seem potential if Star Wars is part of our story … or our futurity .
1 ) E.T.
The biggest house that Star Wars is actually our own coltsfoot arrive from The Phantom Menace . In one of the movie ’s many riveting scenes of politician indicate , a pod of E.T.s can be clear seen in one of the pods of the Galactic Senate . Since a bunch of E.T.s also heedlessly abandoned one of their species on Earth in the E.T. picture show , we can generalize that Earth and Coruscant are the same travel distance for these guys . After all , why would these Guy necessitate astronomic representation if they were n’t part of the beetleweed ? ( Fun / objectionable fact : The head word E.T. senator ’s name is Greblieps . )
2 ) Isaac Asimov ’s Foundation
This beloved scifi serial publication is a very elaborate description of the future of humanity from the nightfall of the first Galactic Republic , through a massive dark eld , and then the rise of another empire . Obviously , there ’s a law of similarity in Star Wars ’ upgrade and autumn of commonwealth and empires , and it would seem pretty reasonable to guess the two could be part of the same cyclical practice . But there ’s strong evidence in the many word that seem to have lead from Foundation to Star Wars ( or vice versa ) . For instance , Foundation mentions a satellite advert Korell , while Han Solo hail from a satellite make Corellia ; the Foundation Federation is set on a planet named Terminus , which happen to be a major trading and shipping satellite in Star Wars , both of which are purportedly located near the border of the galaxy ; the capital of the Empire in Foundation is a planet covered in an integral city key Trantor , and while the working capital of the Star Wars empire is Coruscant , the Star Wars galaxy still include a major planet describe Trantor , and it too is cover up by one gigantic urban center .
3 ) The Encyclopedia Galactica
You most likely recognize this incredibly valuable tome of info from Douglas Adams ’ The Hitchhiker ’s Guide to the Galaxy . But it ’s release in the Star Wars galaxy as well , and seems to be much the same book . The Encyclopedia happened to be make in Asimov ’s Foundation serial , as one of the major goals of the Foundation Federation in edict to keep the knowledge of the precipitate conglomerate from being lose . It was designed to survive the societal flop of human civilization , so it makes sense that it would survive the rise and fall of galactic republics and conglomerate — as well as different scifi series , too .
4 ) The Tizowyrm
Also , one of The Hitchhiker ’s Guide ’s most memorable aliens is the Babelfish , which can be inserted into a person ’s earth and which translates all sounds mentally to its legion — effectively working as a universal translator . Now , cling a fish in your capitulum may sound like a uniquely Hitchhiker ’s Guide bit of nonsense , but the Yuuzhan Vong — the terrifying foes of much of the blow up Universe stories — are in possession of pocket-sized , aquatic sluggard - similar puppet mention Tizowyrms , which they would also stick in their ears and which would also translate alien language ’s for them . co-occurrence ? Hell no .
5 ) Star Trek
There are a lot of things that seem similar in Star Wars and Star Trek , but many of them are probably concurrence . For example , there ’s the Death Star , which has a optical maser than can destroy a planet , while in Enterprise aliens called the Bindi also have a spherical ship with a likewise destructive laser . But that ’s just two evil peoples liking ball - shaped spaceship . But Star Trek has specifically mentioned Princess Leia ’s planet of Alderaan on several occasions , including episodes of Deep Space Nine and the Next Generation . Less explicably , the Millennium Falcon does a flyby in the Star Trek : First Contact picture , while a lone R2 unit is check hurtle through space in Star Trek into Darkness .
6 ) Soul Calibur IV
localize in the 17th century — on Earth , I think I should maneuver out — the 4th instalment of the pop combat videogame Soul Calibur featured a guest show from not just Darth Vader , but also Yoda and Starkiller , the champion of The Force Unleashed games . Supposedly the three Jedi feel a psychological disorder in the Force on Earth , and all take a tripper to investigate it . While feeling a Force interference in an entirely different galaxy is n’t the most absurd melodic theme in the Star Wars universe , it make more sense if they live in the same galaxy , so they sense the problem just like Obi - Wan senses the destruction of Alderaan in A New Hope . Besides , if Jedi can find Force perturbation in other galaxies , it ’s even more absurd they could n’t feel the secret Sith Master who was sit 20 infantry by from them in the prequels .
7 ) Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas
This book of Star Wars and other Lucasfilm movie concept art include short fiction . One particular story feature a tale of two Duros aliens ( a coupe of which are shown in A New Hope ’s cantina scene ) who are captured by “ human existence ” from a mysterious planet named “ Urthha ” shortly after their marriage . This news report is interrelate in a tabloid cartridge clip called “ The Galactic Gossip , ” which later on in the rule book key a celebrity - filled “ Vector Party , ” in which the Isaac Bashevis Singer Madonna is included .
- Alien Exodus
In 1994 , Lucasfilm seemed to have approve a trilogy of Expanded Universe novel by author Robert J. Sawyer . There were cancel ( kind of ; I ’ll explain in a minute ) but that fact that Lucas approve this speaks volumes as to how close he occur to approving this as part of Star Wars . The second book would have included a detailed story of mankind leaving Earth in the twenty-fifth century , while the first al-Qur’an , titledAlien Exodus , would have asterisk “ Cosmo Hender , the loss leader of theHumanslaveson the planet Forhilnor , part of the Varlian Empire , ” and liberate his people so they could circularise across the galaxy — as well as break the origins of the Force and the long descent of the Skywalker name . ( Also , it appears that modern world would have basically turned into the society bring out by George Lucas ’ first film , THX 1138 , before lay out out into place , ca-ca it part of Star Wars ’ ancient history as well . ) At some point , the publishing firm Ace resolve to release the books as the Alien Chronicles and drop the Star Wars association entirely , and Sawyer dropped out ; eventually Deborah Chester take away over and drop a line them as a trilogy . But yeah , this almost happened . you may read more about the insanity over at theStar Wars wiki .
