The only other thing they could do to connect it to STAR WARS is by having 70’s style acting but I would hate that.
What about 70’s style haircut and british accent ?
I don’t see why not. No need for half measures.
What the hell is “'70s style acting”, anyway?
This and this. I also forgot to mention there should be some 70’sish dialogue in there to.
EDIT:
There’s also the “Not this ship sister” line which is drenched in 70’s
