Star Wars Elements in The X-Files: Fight the Future
WARNING: Potential Spoilers for the Movie
Here are some observations made by Michael Lawler about the X-Files movie (thanks for sharing, Michael!); comments in [] are done by me:
After seeing the movie and being an
avid SW fan, I immediately jumped on several elements in the
movie, which my best friend heartily denies. Did you notice the
relationships between Kurtzweil and Mulder and between Strughold
and Mulder--another Obiwan/Luke dynamic. Also several scenes
including the opening one (heavy snow, monster in a cave
elements), Mulder spying on the Antarctica complex (white shirt,
vest, hood-just like Han Solo in Empire). The desert scene-where
is it located?-Foum Tatouine, Tunisia [which, as I wrote Michael, is a true tribute to Star Wars, as indicated in magazine articles]. Also Scully is frozen ala
Han Solo [and saved by who other than her Mulder :0)]. And has in Empire is there not an interrupted kiss?
Although Mulder's and Scully's lips don't touch, I think
everyone knows they would have gotten it on if not for the bee.
And FEMA- the secret govt. sounds a lot like prequel lore--a
republic being overthrown in a state of emergency and replaced
by martial law.
