Well, in an interview which George Lucas did over the weekend for the release of the Episode 1 dvd, he mentioned Jay and SilentBob Strikes Back, and Kevin Smith was also mentioned :)

Question: What kind of movie experience does watching DVD represent to you? Do you enjoy renting a DVD rather than going to a movie theatre?
George Lucas: I generally go to the movie theatres. I mean, I go to the movie theatres to see what's happening now and then I watch DVDs for older movies that are no longer in the theatres. So I don't really choose one or the other. If I want to see Dr. Strangelove, I can't go to the movie theatre. But if I want to see something more contemporary, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (laughs), I have to go to a movie theatre.
So Kevin, feel honoured that the creator of the jedi universe used your movie as a reference :) Or somewhat more cynical at the laugh following his naming of the title :)
