Jon Favreau played Maz Kanada. Or Pablo Hidalgo. Or something like that
There are Easter Eggs hidden in media that might be spottable by viewers/readers, and others that the audience would never know unless they got the inside scoop from somewhere.

Fake Media - Not the Kind You're Thinking
Banes at 12:00AM, April 13, 2023
my webcomic, Typical Strange, uses many fake films in its video store setting
