In the The X-Files Movie's DVD commentary, director reveals another connection to Star Wars when, regarding footage in the movie of a helicopter flying over Foum Tataouine prior to the Cigarette Smoking Man's arrival, he remarks, "Then we’ve got this footage of a helicopter over the sand dunes of, I think, Southern California somewhere down near the border of Mexico. Really wonderful footage shot by E.J. Forrester where apparently they shot a lot of the Star Wars, the first Start Wars desert footage."
