Imperial recruitment centre looked abit like Blade Runners police centre

Indy artefacts in Vos' collection (Golden Idol, Shakara Stone, Grail, Crystal Skull)

Street racing opening - American Graffiti (which starred RHoward and HFord)

Star Trek 2009 from trivia:

Han's entry into the Imperial military mirrors James T. Kirk's entry into Starfleet in the new "Kelvin continuity" Star Trek: both grow up in an area where ships for the fleet are constructed, both enter their respective academies after an adolescence marked by petty crime, and both vow to become exceptional pilots. The similarities end there, as three years after his enlisting Kirk becomes a starship captain while three years after his enlisting Han has flunked out of the academy and is relegated to being a "grunt" in the Imperial infantry.

(plus theres the whole Kessel Run thing is somewhat similar to showing Kirk winning the Kobiashi Maru test)

'Assume everyone will betray you' from the good guy who goes on to betray him - similar to the 'dont trust anyone' warning from Donovon in Last Crusade

'Trust Me' - used a few times in Indiana Jones
