Line 67:
* [[First Installment Wins]]: Elements from the first four films (''[[A New Hope]]'' through ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'') are known among the general public, but ''A New Hope'' is by far the most parodied and referenced.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Inspired so many.
** The original ''Star Wars'' film itself drew from many sources. The ''[[The Hidden Fortress|Hidden Fortress]]'' connection is well known. The ''[[Dune]]''-Tattooine inspiration is pretty obvious. You can tell [[George Lucas]] must have seen at least ''[[Space Battleship Yamato]]'' episodes 26, 1, and 8, in that order, so we can probably pin his famous trip to Japan down to early 1975, when the series went into reruns. [[Isaac Asimov]] noticed some similarity to his ''[[Foundation]]'' series but didn't take it personally. As [
* [[Fountain of Memes]]: [[Memetic Mutation|IT'S A TRAP!]]
* [[Franchise Original Sin]]: Nearly all the flaws of the prequel trilogy, notably excepting [[Romantic Plot Tumor|cheesy romantic scenes]] and [[Conspicuous CG]], were present, albeit in reduced quantities, in the original trilogy as well. Rumor has it that the OT's love story ''would've'' been cheesy, had Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher not come up with far superior lines on their own.
Line 73:
* [[Fridge Horror]]: If you don't know who your father is, ''any girl you meet'' could be your sister.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A planet with two suns was recently discovered by NASA.
** "[
* [[Ho Yay]]: Very little outside the [[Expanded Universe]], but Luke and Han have a few longing stares in Episodes IV and V.
** Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan/Anakin are both popular. Say what you will: George has figured out how to take [[Ho Yay]] out of the level of [[Fan Service]] for the ladies and some men and actually have it be meaningful, such as Obi-Wan's "I loved you." and Anakin's retort "I HATE YOU!!!"
Line 101:
** During the filming of the prequels, they had to keep reminding Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to ''stop making lightsaber sounds with their mouths'' because their lips could be seen moving when they did it. In one interview, Liam Neeson also admitted to doing this in rehearsals.
* [[Narm]]: A common complaint levied against quite a bit of the dialogue, especially in the prequels. Lucas admitted his weakness as a writer of dialogue, but is also a fan of melodrama (at one point, Hayden Christensen tried to deliver a line in a calm, realistic manner, but Lucas ordered him to redo it in an over-the-top fashion).
** [[Star Wars]] holds the distinction of being the only film franchise to have [
* [[Narm Charm]]: Many scenes come across as being cheesy, but they don't detract from how awesome the films are ''that'' much.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:Star Wars has it's own page of horrors
