Katsura breaking into one of Jean Valjean's solos would be epic. And yeah, not entirely surprising XDXD
SW is definitely known in Japan (and the movie episode parodied it - but I think that was filler, not manga-based) but it's not as popular as over here. And Sorachi tends not to go for that many Western references - like, Pirates of the Caribbean was huge, but I don't think that's ever turned up? Though he did the Saw parody, and the recent manga arc mentioned Prison Break in the title (though not in the story, I don't think.)
...still want to see it. Lightsaber jokes! Death Star jokes! Dressing everyone up in Leia's RotJ gold bikini!
