I skimmed through the videos as well, and I'm a little dumbfounded at how awkward and trite the whole thing with Lucas was. (I'm also confused as to why Stewart was there, since I've never gotten the impression he was a SW fan, lol).

Anyway, it's basically Lucas just plugging his latest stuff... Mark comes out to introduce the ROTJ clip, and then Carrie comes on, cracks a couple jokes, and then it's over. Seriously. That's it? What a massive disappointment. It would've been interesting to have more time to actually talk to Mark and Carrie instead of resorting to cameos. Or did they have separate interviews?

They make SW references and jokes on The Daily Show quite often. Stewart was once reminded by a ghostly Leia voice how he used to fantasize about her!

Not to mention there are not one, but two Death Star models hidden in The Daily Show set. ;)

Hmm, I guess I remember a few references. I have to admit I stopped watching TDS on a regular basis in 2005... Once Steve Carell left and then Colbert moved to his own show. (So, yeah, I should definitely check out the Lucas interview....)
