Did The Beastie Boys Inspire a Star Wars: The Force Awakens Character?

The Beastie Boys have inspired a character from the upcoming blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens Character — according to some fans of the saga at least. As Exclaim points out, some devoted followers have found details about a The Force Awakens character names Ello Asty, which reminds them of the Beastie Boys’ 1998 album Hello Nasty. On top of that, a picture of the character appears to read Born to Ill, which could be a slick reference to the Beasties’ debut album Licensed to Ill. Check it out below and judge for yourself.

Ello Asty was “BORN TO ILL”. He doesn't need a license. #theforceawakens pic.twitter.com/OD9eskD6B9
