pointless star wars related facts

I figured, since I have nothing to post about, I would post some random facts. There just happened to be alot relating to Star Wars, so I thought I would choose that as my "theme." They at least have something to do with it. Enjoy.

• In Star Wars the aliens playing in the band are played by members of the ILM creature shop, including Phil Tippett, and the executive producer
• In The Empire Strikes Back there is a potato hidden in the asteroid field
• In Return of the Jedi there is a tennis shoe hidden among the rebel fleet
• There are Star Wars ships hidden in Star Trek: First Contact, Space Balls, and Independence Day among others
• In Raiders of the Lost Ark there is a wall carving of R2-D2 and C-3P0 behind the ark
• There is a statuette of R2-D2 attached to the model of the mother-ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and on the Borg ship on Star Trek: The Next Generation

Oh, and if you're planning on having "the Happy Birthday song" in any of your movies in the days to come (probably a Reini), you'll have to pay Paul McCartney the royalty fees. He bought the rights for some reason. (or maybe it was talking about the song by the Beatles called "Birthday", but that's not the classic one that we all song on our birthday, is it?) Ha. That's really weird.
