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.

Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr.,[10] often shortened to "Indy", is the title character of the Indiana Jones franchise. George Lucas created the character in homage to the action heroes of 1930s film serials.

Perhaps for me to say that the C3PO and R2D2 references were merely homages was a bit of a slight, but if you are denying the rest of that information then you are incorrect.
