Star Wars: Episode VII:: Thor: The Dark World

There was a lot of speculation what Disney would do with the Star Wars franchise after purchasing it from George Lucas recently. Would Mickey Mouse show up in the Star Wars franchise? Would it become more kid friendly? I honestly do not think people would notice after watching Thor: The Dark World.
Ever since Patton Oswalt made his overhyped tandem about a Star Wars-Marvel crossover that anybody easily could have made, fans have been clamoring for a franchise crossover like this from Disney.
It looks like Disney will give it to them.

In Thor: The Dark World, there are numerous Star Wars easter eggs throughout.
Forget the fact that Disney owns Marvel, Star Wars and ILM. These are things that would have been noticed in spite of that.

  • The beginning begins with a futuristic sci fi, laser fest that would make any Star Wars fan drool despite Thor being about fantastical Norse mythology.
  • Sword and laser battles.
  • Humanoids driving odd looking spaceships.
  • Chopped off hand of the protagonist

And of course:

  • Natalie Portman love interest in ancient space ware.


The Dark Elves resemble General Grievous. The leader even does a Darth Vader force choke in the movie!
