Star Wars References in Galciv 2

from GalCiv2 Forums

I've found some references to Star Wars in the game.

reference 1: The % are so diplomaticly challenged that if some said " these aren't the droids your looking for" they'll just repeat the question

reference 2:  As a once great philosopher once said " I have a bad feeling about this"                                              

reference 3: In one of the game's soundtrack, you can here what sounds like Darth Vader breathing.

reference 4: One of the hulls on the ship yard sreen, looks like a Star Destroyer.

If anyone can find more just post them here.

Theres also an "Aliens" reference, upon colonizing a planet one of the moral choices is a Alien like aliens that are already on the planet and one of the options is to "Nuke from orbit, it's the only way to be sure." (sic)

The Iconians are I believe referred to in an episode of Star Trek.

Anyway, I love finding the references they slip in. For example, one of the tech descriptions has a quote from Monty Python in it (can't remember which tech)

Hey, after all to me... Y-O-R really sounds like a Yellow-Orange-Red gradient reference - or is that a coincidence?

There's so much common SciFi "terminology" out there that a game such as GC is bound to have plenty of corresponding words & sentences almost everywhere.
It's strange though that warfare and weaponry remains a sort of constant group in a number of games; Laser, Plasma, Disruptor, Phasor, etc.

Even having to go through Republic to enjoy a Federation sounds quite familiar.
I'd say 90% of what we read can be tied straight with vague or direct stuff.

Just yesterday evening, i was watching I'Robot (the Will Smith version) on TeeVee and it's funny how it sounds when you figure the name used for the protagonist Robot -- Sunny Or Sony! ;)
