: if I rememebr correctly the people on Naboo were called Nubians. I'm pretty sure they called thier fighters Nubian fighters at least.
: : I seem to recall reading something that said that Lucas enjoyed Kevin's work and named one of the ships in the Phantom Menace the Nubian or something in reference to Chasing Amy. Does anyone remember this at all?
Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that George likes Kevin's work.
I didn't even think about the Nubian thing. And when I read that, I was skeptical at first. I'm convinced though. Why else would they be called Nubians? I mean, I do know the origin of the word, but I had passed it off as being a form of Naboo. Like Danish=Denmark. Or something.
Anyway, sly reference. Very sly. Thanks for the info.
