I wasn't aware all it took was any weird power to be ripping off the Force.

Meh, I just figured it was the usual antimetabole speech pattern that people love giving wacky folks.

Because I'm anal, it's "Red Wings". I hereby claim they are based on Detroit's hockey team.

Music from the 1990 game Actraiser is also Star Wars-esque. I think people just loved the SNES's sound chip when it came out.

Isn't that just a Woolseyism? If so I'm not sure it falls into this since you seem to want examples from the original intent, not the localization by some American who saw a little scene similarity to something he liked and made it more prominent.

There's a dwarfish princess in FFIV called Luca. I prefer to think it's alluding to that, since it makes more direct sense.
