Ok, this is what I've found so far with a slight bit of scrutiny towards the background:

1. Darth Vader's Star Destroyer
2. Hoth Probot and Turret playset
3. Imperial TIE-Fighter
4. Luke's X-Wing
5. WalrusMan
6. Snaggletooth (Red)
7. Greedo
8. Hammerhead
9. Lando Calrissian
10. Boba Fett
11. Darth Vader's TIE-Fighter

Ok...

In Poltregeist 1 theres a role-play Han blaster and I think a TIE Fighter.

Also in Poltergeist, there is a Darth Vader case with the eyes painted red. Not sure if that was done to look intresting, or if they did it to look creepy. :)

this is cool, I shoulda put the title a bit different...starwars toys in the movies 'cause I'm sure there's more movies that have them, I just can't think of any off the top of my head.

Watching E.T. and other Speilberg and Lucas movies is fun because they are always putting lil' easter eggs in their movies to support each other.

In the Halloween scene (original version) when E.T. sees the yoda costume, a tad bit of the Empire soundtrack is used, but redon a bit to fit this movie. Kinda cool :)

There's a Darth Vader figure in Indian in the Cupboard that comes to life in the magic cupboard and fights the Jurassic Park Rex toy.

Well, it's not a Star Wars figure. But in Star Trek: Generations in Picard's fantasy life in the Nexus. One of his kids is playing with the Evac Fighter toy from the Kenner Aliens toy line. Imagine being a big Aliens fan and seeing that in the theater. I'm suprised I didn't blurt out somthing. ;) :)

In 'Silent Night, Deadly Night',
the guy (who goes crazy and slaughters people) works in a toy store and you can see Jabba's playset on the shelves. :D

"Merlin's Shop of Magic", I think that's the name, I don't remember clearly, my Mom thought it was a kid movie so she rented it when I was younger, I found out it was a horror movie, hehe. :D Anyways, theres a kid's birthday scene and one of his presents is an AT-AT. Sad scene too, the kid playing with it has his arm up it and is bashing it's head into another toy! :eek:

I love those 80's movies with Star Wars toys in them. I always look forward to that scene in E.T.

Heh. I remember that movie from an episode of MST3K. One of the robots makes a crack about the kid playing with the AT-AT and says "I wish we were watching that movie..." :)

Speaking of Star Wars toys in E.T. there's a thread in the Vintage Kenner section that startes out that way but sort of devolved into a general discussion about the movie. It's pretty funny.

Yeah, I caught that too. It's just a few bars from Yoda's theme. Kinda cool. I wonder if JW had to get GLu's permission to through that in.

Well, again...one that isn't SW toys....but a couple of things I remember caught my attention....


In Rumble In The Bronx....the kid in the wheelchair is playing a Sega Game Gear feverishly! However, there is no game in it! :eek:


Also in Unbreakable (I think), TWO kids are having a good time playing Final Fantasy 7 on their Playstation. Too bad it's a ONE player game! :eek:

Ok.....I'm stupid....*mutters*

In Charlie's Angels, when Drew Barrymore falls into the backyard completely naked and the two kids are playing (a video game or something) that's the house from E.T. :)

I never realized that. Where did you get that bit of info from?

He probably has the Charlie's Angels DVD. They probably talk about it on the disc. I don't have it, because I didn't like the film. But that is probably where he's getting the information from. Either that or IMDB.com, here is the post from there:

In the scene where Drew Barrymore's character "drops in" on two kids playing video games, it's the same house used in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which co-starred Drew Barrymore. An E.T. poster is visible on the wall over the television.

To keep the thread going, there are various Star Wars toys used in the costruction of the Satellite of Love's Bridge in Mystery Science Theater 3000. They have things like a Darth Vader case and the Millenium Falcon glued to the walls and painted over with paint. :)

It was in kind of the beginning of the movie before they(Carol Ann and her bro) were going to bed..she and her brother were playing in their room hitting each other with toys. It was the original vintage Luke Skywalker.

We are trying to find our copy as I type so I can post the correct spot.

Not exactly Star Wars toys. But in Home Alone Kevin is shooting at Starting Lineups with a BB Gun. He knocks Larry Bird and Babe Ruth down the Garbage Shoot or Laundry Shoot.

Also, In Rookie of the Year Henry's little league coach is playing with Staring Lineups when he sees Henry on TV.
