Star Wars[edit]

Can we find sources to get the Star Wars link in here? It's a bit stronger than the usual fanboy pop culture, for once.

PS - Thanks for starting this. I'd been meaning to start it myself for ages, but it's not really my topic. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done; though there may be something better in print. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:26, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There might be a ref somewhere to one of the droid designers admitting the deliberate influence, in an interview when the film (2nd of the 2nd batch?) came out. Probably in SFX magazine, as it's the only such thing I'm likely to have read it in (I haven't even seen the film). Andy Dingley (talk) 23:27, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
