17 Subtle Star Wars Easter Eggs And References In Other Movies

13. The Corellian Plague - Men In Black (1997)

Working for a highly funded yet unofficial government agency, Kay and Jay are the regulators of all things alien-related on Earth. While out on a routine call, the MIB agents uncover a plot to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies, both of whom happen to reside in New York City. It is not the intergalactic terrorist that is of particular interest here, but the weapons he may have at his disposal. When Kay discusses Earth€™s impending doom with the younger Jay, he mentions a Corellian Death Ray and recalls a deadly Corellian Plague. Corellia is the home planet of none other than Han Solo, as well as the base of the Corellian Resistance in their battle against the Empire. Lucas himself even made an appearance in the movie, appearing briefly alongside Stephen Spielberg and a number of other Hollywood faces as €˜confirmed aliens€™.
