R2-D2 and C-3PO Briefly Appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark
quote:
R2 and 3PO pop up not once, but twice in the scene where Indy and Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) descend into the Well of the Souls. The most visible example occurs just as the two lift a giant stone slab aside to reveal the titular Ark. Look at the stone pillar just to the left of Indy and you’ll see two hieroglyphics that look suspiciously like the droids.

The second example is fairly hard to see, but occurs just as Indy and Sallah lift the Ark out of its case in the same scene. Look directly towards the back wall in the shot that features Sallah on the left and Indy on the right. You’ll see a bigger hieroglyph of what looks like Princess Leia uploading the plans to the Death Star into R2-D2, with C-3PO standing in back of them.

quote:
The Star Wars and Indiana Jones films are filled with these types of winks between Spielberg and Lucas. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, the plane that Indy uses to escape from the evil Belloq and the native Hovitos warriors features the call sign “OB-CPO” along the side, in reference to Obi Wan Kenobi and C-3PO from Star Wars.
quote:
Then, in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indy escapes again—this time from a Shanghai nightclub called “Club Obi Wan.”

Star Wars Easter Egg in Raiders of the Lost Ark
It all has to do with Spielberg and Lucas' friendship. When the two were starting out, they made a pact that whichever of their respective science fiction films (Spielberg with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Lucas's Star Wars) proved to be more successful, than the other individual would receive 1% of picture's gross revenue.
Obviously, Lucas' film was more successful and therefore Spielberg subsequently cashed in on the success of Star Wars despite no involvement.
The Easter eggs are merely homages made on behalf of Spielberg as tribute to his good friend.

What if, at the end of the Star Wars franchise, Han, Luke, Chewie, C3PO and R2D2 are launched out of a pod or randomly jump light speed off into the universe and one day land on Earth, only to be worshiped as gods by the Egyptians.
They pass on technology and the knowledge of the force to early earth humans, allowing for great feats of engineering and the basis for the idea of an omniscient god(Force), while allowing for things like the Ark of the covenant to exist, which is actually a jedi relic.
Chewie then goes on to be the basis for the legend of the Sasquatch and abominable snow man.
naturally Hans genes one day reappear and he is Indy. Luke's pass down along with his knowledge of how to use the force and allow for all the legends of people who can do miracles and stuff.
Yep.. that's it.

And E.T. is a Jedi that uses the force to fly.
