I don’t know if this: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-17/its-taken-13-years-but-someone-has-finally-spotted-the-matrix-easter-egg-in-star-wars-attack-of-the-clones has been raised here before but I thought it was fun and plausible what with the first film stealing much of the expected applause from TPM. I didn’t see Comic Relief on the night (I don’t have broadcast television) but I caught the skit later. BB8 is shaping up to be a cultural icon like Fett and Maul.
I knew the actor who played Mouse was the death stick dealer, but never spotted her before!
Maybe the prequels are set in one of the early versions of the Matrix, and Anakin is one of Neo’s predecessors? 😛
