Francis Ford Coppola's partner, George Lucas, who also served as co-editor on this film, admits to having paid homage to two scenes from the Godfather in his Star Wars series. First, the garroting death of Luca Brasi was the inspiration for Princess Leia strangling Jabba the Hutt in Il ritorno dello Jedi (1983). Secondly, the Baptism scene, in which Michael's vows are inter-cut with the murders of the rival dons, inspired the scene in Star Wars: Episodio III - La vendetta dei Sith (2005), in which Palpatine declares the formation of his Empire while Darth Vader kills the separatist leaders. The infant in the original scene is Sofia Coppola, who also appeared as a handmaiden in Star Wars: Episodio I - La minaccia fantasma (1999), and who directed Hayden Christensen in Il giardino delle vergini suicide (1999).
