And now that I think about it, a Millennium Falcon model was used as a building in Blade Runner. It's standing upright without the cockpit, and the camera looks down on it from above, so it's hard to spot if you don't know what you're looking for.

And a couple more:
1. Could the name Anakin (as in Skywalker) have been some sort of tribute to Ken Annakin who directed the outdoor scenes in THE LONGEST DAY, and also (among other films) directed THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN AND THEIR FLYING MACHINES.
2. In Raiders: The Last Crusade, it is said that "Indiana" was the name of the family dog. It seems that George Lucas had a Malamute named Indiana when he was a young man.
