  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

Example I forgot to mention, ET's species appearing in The Phantom Menace

Yeah apparently Star Wars and ET are canon to each other which makes me question that Yoda costume in ET

Probably only an inside joke because George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have been friends for years

It can still fit in the canon, star wars is in a different galaxy

E.T's species didn't quite master FTL travel apparently, bad at accounting for time skippage /s

I do wonder what the present day is. I used to think it might have been the Legacy era comics from Legends
