funny debris in Star Trek

[KS71owner]

I was watching my new Star Trek DVD yesterday, and I saw something funny...an unusual looking piece of debris floating in space....JJ Abrams says in the commentary there is something here but I didn't spot it until the third or fourth time I went through the scene.

Here's a screen grab of the scene, with the "debris" circled.....


and a closeup.....


Look familiar?

Looks like R2D2...

[KS71owner]

I wonder if any star wars nerds will get upset??

i wonder if george lucas is going to sue them over the rights of that?

[b5blue]

Nope it was on yahoo already he got the OK, they said there are dead bodys floating in there too.

George Lucas owns the company that did the effects for Star Trek...

LOL

I only looked because the commentary said there was something there, but they didn't say what. To be honest I'm surprised I found it, it goes by so quickly I wasn't sure at first. I guess the shape triggered something in my geek brain. As for the dead bodies, yeah those are in there too...I actually spotted those before I saw R2D2 but only because they are on the screen longer.

Yeah, I was going to say that ILM did all their digital work so that would negate them violating their own Copyright laws.

This inside-joke stuff has been going on for decades.    



C-3PO & R2-D2 showed up Raiders of the Lost Ark:

  Good stuff. So when does the Trek movie come out on DVD? Or did it already?

[Slantback_66]

It's already out Bull.

In Star Wars the Phantom Menace when they are talking with Palpatine for the 1st time in his office, you can see the Star Trek Enterprise go by the window too...

Here is one from the movie Iron Man (a great movie by the way).  You can see the Captain America shield laying on the table behind Robert Downy Jr.  Rumor is they are supposed working on a Captain America script.  Could be cool.

Lucas is famous for this very thing..There's something of a previous movie of his in every movie after that...In American Graffitti, the license plate on Milners coupe was symbolic this way......

[Landonsrt]

Yeah, the picture above shows the carving.

[Cooter]

Yeah, oops...

Milners plate was THX 138.  If I am not mistaken THX 138 was a film Lucas made in collage a couple years before American Graffiti.  Lucas also uses THX for his sound company.  THX 1138 is also seen on the wing of the plane in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark.

IIRC, the Millennium Falcon is in Blade Runner as the top of a building, and also in Close Encounters of the Third Kind as part of the mothership.

In Star Wars (IV, A New Hope) Princess Leia is being held in Cell block 1138.

another Cap teaser is in the second Hulk movie - there's a shot of Cap frozen in ice somewhere. I'm gonna try to find it tonight.

R2D2 was built into the ship on Goonies.
