Star Wars: 12 Homages To Classic Cinema In The Last Jedi

This particular homage is harder to nail down to a single film, as it is actually an extension of an homage that Spielberg and Lucas himself pulled back in the '80s.

When Finn and Rose are on Canto Bight, they are looking for a master code breaker with little to no success. All they know about him is that he'll be wearing a red plum bloom on his jacket. They eventually do find him, though he's of little help, and his attire fits the description and then some.

Dressed in a white tux jacket, with a black bow tie, and a red plum boom on his lapel, Justin Theroux's cheeky cameo is a direct callback to two of the suavest men to ever grace the silver screen; James Bond and Indiana Jones.

The get-up was originally worn by Sean Connery's 007 in Goldfinger. When Spielberg and Lucas were crafting their follow-up to Raiders, they decided to throw in an homage to Goldfinger, by having Harrison Ford's professor also sporting the same look. In continuing and expanding the long-standing homage, Johnson keeps it all in the Lucasfilm family.
