20 Star Wars Easter Eggs You Never Noticed

20. Indy Takes His Seat? - The Phantom Menace

You're probably well aware that both Indiana Jones and Star Wars were created by the likes of George Lucas, which has resulted in a whole bunch of inter-references across the span of both franchises. So chances are that even casual fans of either series are well-aware of that moment in Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom when their hero escapes from "Club Obi-Wan," or the appearance of hieroglyph droids in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. What fans might have failed to notice, however, is what appears to be a visit from Indiana Jones to a galaxy far, far away, as showcased by the image above, which seems to depict a very similar-looking character attempting to take a seat during the iconic Podrace scene in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Even if it's not Indy, you have to admit it looks a whole lot like him - what with the hat, bag, and tan-coloured shirt and pants. Apparently Indy's meeting with those aliens in The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull resulted in some complimentary tickets for everybody's favourite archeologist.
