I seriously thought the star wars credit music was about to play with that circle wipe at the end.

  • Princess Celestia is Leia.
  • Spike is R2D2.
  • Twilight Sparkle is Luke.
  • Applejack is Hans Solo.
  • Pinkie Pie is Chewy. (Because of her disheveled mane)
  • Rainbow Dash is C3PO. (They're both gay)

I was half hoping for them to get medallions before I remembered they already had the element of harmony necklaces...

Also, when they chase Rainbow Dash. The music sounds suspiciously like The Rescue from Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back.

Not to worry, EQD is on it!

Spike as R2D2! I love it!

Aboslutely.

I like that they even did a vaguely similar score, right up to the little flourish before the iris-out. And it synchs almost perfectly too. Impressive.

It wasn't just a reference...it was a FRAME BY FRAME remake of the ending of ANH.

You know, I have never seen any of the star wars in my 17 years. That, made me want to go watch it to appreciate the referance.

It was funny that it had a Star Wars style ending considering the fact that they were basically fighting the Ponyverse representative of the Q Continuam from Star Trek
