* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Foss has received numerous offers from investors to finance a feature-length ''Hardware Wars'' movie, but rejected them as he feels it's better off as just a parody short.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The big joke of the Cantina scene is that we hear Luke freaking out over how weird everything is, and then go inside to see that it's a completely normal bar. Normal for 1978, that is.

* HeAlsoDid: Besides the {{Expy}} of Chewbacca being based on Cookie Monster, there are a surprising number of ''Series/SesameStreet'' connections to ''Hardware Wars''. Jeff Hale (who played Augie Ben Doggie) ran the animation studio that created the famous Typewriter and Pinball Number Count inserts. Ernie Fosselius helped out with those, and Walt Kraemer (who did voices on ''Hardware Wars'') composed the music for them.

* ParodyRetcon: Zig-zagged. It was squarely intended as a parody, but over the years it got a reputation as "The first ''Star Wars'' FanFilm", which wasn't exactly what Ernie Fosselius was trying for. Lately he's taken great pains to remind people that it's a parody.

* ParodyRetcon: Zig-zagged. It ArtistDisillusionment: Ernie Fosselius seems to have mixed feelings about the legacy of ''Hardware Wars''. He's proud of it, but it was squarely intended something of a BlackSheepHit for Fosselius, a music and film production pro who liked to make DIY pop culture parodies on the side. He picked ''Film/ANewHope'' as the subject for a parody, but parody of Hollywood special effects because it was an obvious target. But over the years it got a acquired the reputation as "The first ''Star Wars'' FanFilm", and people assume that Fosselius was a ''Star Wars'' superfan making an AffectionateParody, which wasn't exactly what Fosselius says leads to lots of unwanted attention whenever a new ''Star Wars'' film comes out.
* DisownedAdaptation: The 1997 "Special Edition" was done by producer Michael Wiese without the involvement of Ernie Fosselius, and Fosselius has distanced himself from it.
