SNL parodies of films like Beastly
How many movies did SNL do parodies of, for example they did a parody sketch of Beastly starring Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer and in that sketch it was Adam Samberg and Miley Cyrus who was the host of the episode of that time?
 * SNL does movie parodies all the time; I don't know if anyone has tried to enumerate them all. According to List_of_Saturday_Night_Live_episodes, Miley has been on SNL twice. In both cases she was the host; the first time she was on, the musical guest was The Strokes and the second time she was on, she did both duties. Her first appearance, on March 5, 2011, was one day after the release of Beastly, so that seems more likely to be the one you're looking for. Matt Deres (talk) 02:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

The first image that came to George Lucas' mind when he came up with Star Wars was of a big ship chasing a little ship.
Ok, so in the book The Making of Star Wars, George Lucas talks about "a big ship chasing a little ship" and he says that that was his "original vision of the film". So the first image that came to George Lucas' mind when he came up with Star Wars was the opening scene of the Imperial Cruiser chasing the Rebel SpaceFighter.

Does the same apply to you? If not, what is the first image that comes to your mind when you think of Star Wars? Rebel Yeh (talk) 10:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Who's the guy who is a giant head (or maybe just face) inside a big cylinder that floats thanks to an always firing rocket in the bottom with two little arms and two little legs coming out in front?75.75.42.89 (talk) 15:48, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
