Obi-Wan: I just felt a disturbance in the Force. Qui-Gon: As though thousands of voices cried out in agony and then were suddenly silenced? Obi-Wan: No. A crossover of some kind. Qui-Gon: Uh oh.

Provides examples of:

• An Aesop:

QWERTY: Pride goeth before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction.

• Bond Villain Stupidity: Lampshaded and used for comic effect when Air says he will give the heroes a week to come up with a plan to stop him.
• Book Ends: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan popping in.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Happens at the end of the trailer:

Han: Excuse me as I break character here: To the author: About this dialogue, are you on some form of illegal substance? Wedge: And could we please have some?

In context, however, Han's only breaking the fourth wall in a play they're rehearsing.

• Crack Fic
