Part 3 - 1988 (filmed in '86) Fred Olen Ray sci-fi comedy The Phantom Empire may contain easter egg references to Return Of The Jedi ('83) (Star Wars) alien Jabba The Hutt & additionally Spaceballs ('87) villains Pizza The Hutt & Vinnie.
- I observed similarly framed scenes between "Empire" & the intro of Episode VI.
- Sybil Danning (The Alien Queen) acted with Star Wars Count Dooku actor Christopher Lee in many films including 1981 Italian political thriller The Salamander.
- Lee originally turned down a role in Star Wars (1977) as Grand Moff Tarkin. A character eventually played by his long time colleague, Peter Cushing.
- To the future of Star Wars from the standpoint of 1986, Jabba returned in prequel: Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999.
- I mentioned the links to Dune in Phantom Empire in another video. Director David Lynch was also offered Return Of The Jedi in 1983.
