George Lucas apparently can't get enough of those Indiana Jones references, given that he even went as far to make a neat little Raiders Of The Lost Ark reference in animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In the twenty-second episode of the first season, eagle-eyed viewers were able to catch a brief glimpse of the elusive Ark of the Covenant as it's being loaded onto a ship by a couple of droids. What is Lucas trying to tell us with this little nod? That you're missing the blatant connection between the events depicted in Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Clone Wars? Or was he just messing with everyone in order to fill up arbitrary lists like this? Whatever the reason, hopefully those droids didn't get curious and try to look inside.
