But this is probably the first time that a Mickey Mouse cameo has been discovered in a film from three decades before it became the property of Disney.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130920025110\/http:\/\/starwarsblog.starwars.com:80\/index.php\/2013\/01\/21\/it-was-clearly-the-will-of-the-force\/\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a> at the official <strong>Star Wars<\/strong> site has discovered something in a handful of background scenes in <strong>The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong> \u2013 computer displays that resemble Mickey\u2019s silhouette. You can see them in the screen grabs below.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t think that anyone is saying that George Lucas was already hinting that he was thinking about selling his Lucasfilm empire to the House of Mouse way back then. It\u2019s just a fun coincidence.
