I still think that train scene from the Clone Wars ep (destroy malevolence) was a reference to the scene in AOTC where C3PO falls on the SRT Droid but I could be wrong

Now see Satan hovering above you, suggesting trifles, mocking, and bringing endless distractions to your mind to keep the truth from germinating. When the good word meets hard soil — or good but unprepared soil — he strikes to steal.

The Aérotrain | 1965-1977

The Aérotrain was a Hovertrain developed in France from 1965 to 1977. The project was abandoned in 1977 due to lack of funding, the death of lead engineer Jean Bertin, and the adoption of TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse = High Speed Train) by the French government.
