delmoi, if that blew your mind, think on this. The trash-compactor scene is one giant vagina that's slowly crushing all those inside. They even try to prop it up with a phallic object, and this ultimately fails. The entire franchise is filled with father/son issues but as Freud says, it always comes back to the mother.

And the chick you think is the love interest sends a message to the hero, via a weird little phallic robot, asking him to come to her... but then she turns out to be his sister.

The final scene oozes symbolism: having penetrated the Death Star's trench in his phallic spacecraft, he closes his eyes, submits to his true inner instinct and triumphantly blasts his X-Wing's seed into an anus-like aperture, causing an orgasmic eruption that changes his universe for ever.

If you finish a stage with over 50 rings in Sonic 1 (the original game), a giant golden ring appears at the finish flag. Diving into it leads the player to a topsy-turvy world of diaphanous rainbows where nothing is what it seems.

Okay, I know this one.
But only because my kid loves SW and I have a soft spot for those old NPR radio plays.

And now I am just rationalizing the amount of Star Wars dreck in my life.
Anyway, they're pretty good (except for the awful Yoda imitator) AND they include scenes and dialogue that never made it into the movies. Anyway, per Wookkiepedia "They are part of Star Wars canon within its Expanded Universe." ROTJ was written years after the movie so it includes stuff from other canonical sources as well. Anyway, C3-PO is talking to a dancing girl in Jabba's palace about his current favorite girl (the one that gets thrown in the Rancor pit) and she reveals that Jabba is unhappy with her because there "is one dance that she will not do" for Jabba. She says it in a suggestive manner. I assumed this was a reference to Jabba's sexual tastes.
Anyway, in my defense, I remember this idiotic bit of Star Wars trivia because me and the kid listened to it this afternoon while driving home from a music festival. After 5 days of music, the kid just wanted some Star Wars.
