17 Subtle Star Wars Easter Eggs And References In Other Movies
10. Darth Lincoln - Happy Gilmore (1996)
Adam Sandler doesnt get much love nowadays, but its easy to forget that before he straight up stopped trying he made a couple of genuinely funny movies, the funniest of which was probably Happy Gilmore. If Happy Gilmore turns out to be the best film he ever makes (and lets face it, he doesnt look like topping it any time soon if his Tarantino spoof The Ridiculous 6 is anything to go by) then at least hell be remembered for a film with a pretty cool Star Wars nod at the end. When Happy returns home from his golf tournament triumphant with the keys to his house and his inexplicably hot girlfriend, he sees a corporeal vision of his deceased mentor Chubbs, the alligator that ate his hand, and one Abraham Lincoln. If it looks familiar, its because it is done in an identical fashion to when Luke sees Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker in Return Of The Jedi.
