Sha'a Gi
I actually am something of a Scooby-Doo aficionado, in that I've seen all of Mystery Inc and some of the other shows, so I don't mind this reference. It actually fits in just fine. It would be too much if we had F'rud Jones, Valmuh Dink'lee, and Da-fa-nee Blake, but as just Shaggy, it's good.

James Earl Jones
Quality actor. Can you believe he was in ****ing Dr. Strangelove? He's that old. Obviously he's wonderful in Conan as well.

Luke's Training on Dagobah
So good. The Jedi training should be all about learning the mystical magicalness of the Force, not about boring physical world stuff. Yoda never even bothers training Luke with a lightsaber. We get a ton of exposition on the Force that isn't clunky or boring ("Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter"), and a lot of great Star Wars quotes ("Do, or do not. There is no try."). The closed-in nature of a swamp contrasts with the open spaces of Tatooine and Hoth, but creates a nature-y atmosphere untouched by physical civilization.

That Part Where Luke Sees His Head in Vader's Helmet
Emphasizes that the Dark Side will getcha if you're not careful, foreshadows that Vader is Luke's father (spoilers), and is a good spooky moment in its own right.

You're My Only Hope
As a quote, this lacks a lot of the deeper meanings of other Star Wars-y quotes. This is just a fun little meme-before-memes-were-a-thing that Leia says.

Star Wars Sequence (Lego Movie)
Man, did any cinematic universe fall off a cliff faster than the Lego one? I guess... I guess all of them, except the MCU. Huh. Jesus.

Good use of Star Wars. Bizarre to see a Disney property in a movie where DC superheroes play a large role, though. You can tell the Han actor isn't Harrison Ford, but the others are the real deals, which is funny in its own right.
