Topic: Wall-E Forum: JoBlo

I noticed some Star Wars homages as well: The opening where Wall-E is weaving between the trash mountains brings to mind Artoo's run-in with the Jawas. The AXIOM reminds me of the Medical Frigate at the end of Empire Strikes Back. While obviously inspired by HAL, Auto/Otto reminds me of two evil SW bots: the hovering torture droid from A New Hope and EV-9D9, that sadistic robot in Jabba's palace. Was anyone else tempted to scream at Auto when he was torturing Wall-E. I had to hold back from screaming "leave him alone, you bastard!" Oh and homyrrh and crazy dud: while I don't share your view of Travers, I confess to having a similar dislike for EW's Owen Glieberman. Yet that doesn't stop him from being annoyingly right on WALL-E.
