@DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT buddy, in this day and age, kids grow up knowing that darth vader is lukes father, its common knowledge. if there is a 5 year old out there who hasnt seen the original star wars, their parents fucked up.
@robthestoner001 Truth be told, my Star Wars knowledge is based around the prequels. I never got into the original series. I was always the Lord of the rings nut, and never really got into space Si-Fi to begin with. (Although I like Dr who, which is strange since you could technically call that Space Si-Fi.)
@DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT ok, what? what do you mean never got into the original series? star wars knowledge is based on the prequels? lord of the rings is cool, but im sorry to say, you have failed your life. you dont base anything on the prequel trilogy except that obi wan kenobi is awesome and so is liam neeson and darth maul. thats it. period. the original trilogy is star wars. the prequel trilogy is just what happened before. and its DOCTOR who, not DR Who! and yes doctor who is science fiction.
@robthestoner001 WOHWOHWOH! Don't get all butthurt on me dude. I have the old star wars, not to mention I have, like, 60 Year's before I become incapable of making any choices and have to get my ass cleaned by some bitch doing community service!
I WATCHED the old star wars back when I was like, 5 okay? I watched the prequels when I was 8 or something. And I remember that the most because I've seen them a hundred times back when every kid wanted to be a jedi. Gawd those were the days :'(
@DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT im not butthurting, im just amazed at how much of a failure you are. if you've seen the prequel trilogy a hundred times then that is why you have failed life. the prequel trilogy fails miserably in comparison to the original. "not to mention I have, like, 60 Year's before I become incapable of making any choices and have to get my ass cleaned by some bitch doing community service!" what in the name of holy fuck are you talking about?
@kangaxx u realize that this was the exact scene in MLP. MLP has just about every reference to classics ever. Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Star Wars, Gone with the Wind, Big Labowsky. It's geared for people in their 20s-30s and maybe older.
@AdditivePlacebo I know right? How can someone say this is for little girls? Strawberry Shortcake is for little girls. And does that have awesome pop culture homages and Looney Tunes like humor? I don't think so.
Omg! They show The Doctor from Doctor Who as a poney twice, essensially bring in Q from Star Trek, and now I know that they referanced the ending of Star Wars... Good God! lol These poeple must love Science Fiction! I know I'm not complaining!
@a87370ylgrc Not just twice, Doctor Whooves is a common background character. Not to mention several of the Doctor's re generations showing up in the background. The Big Lebowski came, I Love Lucy's Chocolate Factory is coming up, California Gurls parody, iPhone commercial parody, Stephen Sondheim's song Putting It Together was played with minor alterations, Anna Wintour has shown up as a pony, there are WAY too many references to name.
If you watched the "BroNYcon 2011 Q and A" they say that this scene used to be a frame by frame copy of the ending scene of Star Wars, but they had to cut it down for timing reasons.
@TheOnlyPopjie123456 I disagree with one bit, though. Friendship is Magic -should- have wider and even bigger audience, rather then just more males. I mean, I love the show, and if I had a daughter I would much rather have her exposed to these type of role models then other ''glitter, glamor and giggle''-girl show characters.
Friendship is Magic is for everyone, shame on you, silly! <3
@TheOnlyPopjie123456 MLP doesn't have 80% male viewers. the people who watch it over the internet are about 80% male. little girls watch it on television.
@MrFuckyea69 imbecil de mierda es una referencia,como todas las ke hacen en los simpsons osea ke hay ke denunciar a matt groening?andate a la chucha weon y hazle un favor al mundo y suicidate
@KiliahBrony usted señor es una persona que no cacha el chiste yo ise alusión a megaguias12 busque ese video y ríase eso si le aria bien al mundo ah y nunca quise decir que era un plagio es solo una taya interna váyase al infierno señor :3
@Shankalten but by watching this video you have watched clips from both and have therefore watched them. You didnt say you'd never watch the show or movies, you just said never watch them. And you did watch them. Therefore your comment is completely invalidated.
I love how the entire episode was a vague reference to Star Trek TNG, and the ending was a direct reference to Star Wars Episode IV. It's like they're deliberately trying to piss of opposing fans. This is amusing...
People, this is not an accidental reference. It is a proven and intended reference. The song used in this My Little Pony scene is EXACTLY the same as the song in Star Wars. Using the same song and almost exact scene by scene replication cannot be a coincidence.
@AkaGenya1 I was afraid someone would point that out >_>, but I would upload another video if it were shot for shot like Star Wars. But I don't know if people would take too kindly for pointing out the similarities between Ponies and Nazis.
@KhalidSMShahin Ah, don't worry. If one of my favourite movies can survive a good thirty-four years with a Nazi reference, Friendship Is Magic should be A-okay.
Not....really? The scene from Triumph of the Will doesn't actually resemble the throne room scene except in the sense that it's a big ceremony. The only reason anybody would make a connection is because some youtubers thought it would be funny to put the SW music over the scene.
Nope, the point's been made way before. There's a site called Star Wars Origins (google it) that made the connection before Youtube even existed. A lot of movies reference Triumph of the Will (I think Gladiator did when the Emperor put on a big march in Rome or something).
@AkaGenya1 My point stands. The only connection between the scenes is that they involve large ceremonies where people walk down a central aisle surrounded by soldiers. The shots aren't that similar, the ceremony isn't really similar, the people walking aren't being exalted as leaders. Whatever similarities are there are superficial and easily dismissible as coincidental. Unless someone can point me to a more quantified analysis, I'm calling BS on this one.
@MrInsaneA I....do see it. The Star Wars/MLP parallel is incredibly obvious. If you read what I was responding to there, you'd see that I was commenting on someone's assertion that the original Star Wars scene supposedly parallels a Nazi propaganda film called "Triumph of the Will".

Star Wars was originally designed for men, only the fandom (opposite to bronies for mlp*) prove that it's for geeks
