Toasty!
- alganet 2y agoFor those that didn't catch it, "toasty!" makes reference to Ed Boon, a video game programmer. He appears as an Easter Egg in several incarnations of the Mortal Kombat series as a head on the side of the screen that says "toasty" in a falsetto voice, particularly when the player applies a perfect uppercut move. Mortal Kombat also shares the same initials with MK Ultra, a controversial (real or maybe not, successful or maybe not) psyops program supposedly developed by the USA. Similarly, "Star Wars" also alludes to a controversial USA space program that fluked. I never noticed the head behind Anakin, but I am assuming it is really there. Thus, the whole thing has striking similarity to that VFX fluke in many angles, making it a great coincidence.
