The "Willow/Star Wars Connection"
It was only recently that I rediscovered Willow, and I was wondering if anyone had any corraborating evidence to the notion that George Lucas once said that the events of Willow happened sometime in the past of the Star Wars universe, or even just opinions as to whether this should or should not be the case.
"Ignore the bird! You know the way."  A new favorite quote of mine. That guy's so funny, I'm still amazed that anyone would entrust him with the most powerful magic wand in the world.

I'd never heard that Lucas ever said anything of the sort, and can see no reason whatsoever to suspect that Willow has anything to do with the Star Wars Universe.
 "Are you suggesting we go home?" "Nah, this is more fun."

According to Wikipedia, it was an April Fool's joke. Apparently it's backfired. I can relate.
I haven't seen the movie, but I read the kids' novelization. The bit Nate quoted was my favourite. Apparently the NES game was also a standout -- which is very rare for licensed games.

Well, April Fool's joke or not, I can't see any reason why Willow can't occur in the Star Wars universe. After all, just say that there exists some sort of combination of environmental factors that allow trees to grow whose wood can allow the focussing of latent, unconscious Force abilities.
