** ''Muppet Babies'' ''runneth over'' with ''[[Star Wars]]'' references, in fact. Thanks to how close Henson Productions and Lucasarts were at the time, Lucas basically gave the Henson crew free rein to make [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|as many references]] as they liked without fear of lawyers, a privilege they used as much as they could.

Line 105:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Piggy and Skeeter respectively ([[Hidden Depths|No, we did not get that mixed up]] -- Piggy dresses in pink, bows, and lace [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|and]] [[Cute Bruiser|karate chops]] anyone when they set off her [[Hair-Trigger Temper]], whereas Skeeter is a [[Tomboy]] but much more mellow.)
