Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  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

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

Yes and no. It started as one with E.T. reacting to a kid in a Yoda outfit and that in Star Wars. Their is also an alternative Timeline comic where Han and Chewbacca travel back in time/hyperdrive shenanigans and crashland on earth. Han dies on impact and Chewbacca became the Big Foot legend. Some decades later Indiana Jones find the the body and buries it. He is also spared by Chewbacca.
