Refernce to Star Wars


I don't know if people noticed, but the shows made alot of reference to movies like Star Wars. Anyone know why they would show that on a kid's show? just wondering.

reply

Probably to make what the kids were imagining look more
realistic!!! So they would refer to showing clips
of movies!!!

If Kermit was Indiana Frog for example--
they would often show clips from "Temple Of Doom"
to make what he was imagining seem more realistic!!

That was clever in my opinion!!

In my opinion it was great too, but im just puzzled on why would show movies rated PG or PG-13 on this show. I remember that some of the scenes confused me as a kid, like the whole Star Wars thing and all, since i was too young to understand what star wars was.

I noticed alot of starwars references too....Jim henson did all the puppetry for Star Wars...like Yoda was a muppet....a good one...but he was a jim henson puppet none the less...maybe that has something to do with it.

They usually used the Star Wars references and clips in really funny ways, as I recall.
