Staff of Ra Appears in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

Maybe Sallah was more right than we thought back in 1981.
Though the best digger in Cairo was talking about the Ark of the Covenant, there might be more to this theory when it comes to objects associated with it; like the headpiece to the Staff of Ra.
Eagle-eyed viewers of The Clone Wars may have noticed a familiar prop from the world of Indiana Jones inhabiting another universe from the mind of George Lucas. It seems that one of the Galactic Senators was holding a staff capped with an elaborate headpiece in the shape of the sun in the episode "The Gungan General".
The show's Supervising Director, Dave Filoni, did verify that it was indeed the headpiece in a recent episode commentary over at StarWars.com ( starwars.com/video/view/000748.html ), though it was a tip of the hat back to Raiders which featured a quick cameo of two of Star Wars main characters, R2-D2 and C-3PO as hieroglyphics on the walls in the Well of the Souls. In addition this year's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is also rumored to have an image of the famed droids in the chamber of the Crystal Skeletons at the films end. Add this to other references like OB-CPO and Club Jedi Master Kenobi and creative, fanboy conspiracy theories start to bubble over. Maybe the 13 members of the inter-dimensional beings were in fact an offshoot of the Jedi Knight Council chamber, somehow sent to Earth? Maybe C-3PO and R2-D2 fell through a black hole and met with ancient humans and left behind the Headpiece and the Ark and that is why they were shown on the Well of the Souls wall?
If you are clever you could even tie in all the Lucas and Spielberg cinematic characters into one big universe, Marcus Brody could be Jaws' Sheriff Brody's uncle? In the meantime you can look for the headpiece of the Staff of Ra in The Clone Wars episode and see the commentary here:
