The sets were largely a collage of bits left over from the other films and photographed with very little sense of cinema (compare Jerjerrod's control room to Tarkin's in ANH, there are 1970's Doctor Who sets that look practically the same, no wonder most of the footage ended up on the cutting room floor).

I'm surprised nothing thrown into the dumpster after Star Wars wrapped ever ended up in a Dr. Who episode.

I freaked out a little when I spotted a 2001 spacesuit backpack being used as set decoration in one of the Jon Pertwee era episodes. Kubrick would have done a spit take had he seen that! ;)

Bits of the Nostromo set and a chestburter famously did end up in Doctor Who episodes (there's a nod to that when an Alien egg was hidden in the background of Dalek from the 2005 series).

To extend the hilarity of the 2001 suit, the suits were later recreated for the sequel 2010 (also the source of the pod in Watto's yard by all accounts), one of which ended up being the 'blue suit' in the Babylon 5 episode Babylon Squared that was lost so it had to recreated again for the sequel story War Without End.

And yes I imagine Kubrick was miffed as he intentionally had all the original props and costumes destroyed after making his film to avoid that sort of thing.

JMS is a big fan of British Science Fiction and the Drazi Starhawk is inspired by The Liberator from Blake's 7 which was originally intended to be set in the Doctor Who universe and feature the Daleks but look what else occupied the Blake's 7 universe.

And while we are talking spacesuits check out these from The Wheel In Space (sadly you can't watch that story because lazy BBC was lazy and wiped it) look familar?
