Notes/trivia

• The title is an homage to the 1977 sci-fi movie, Close Encounters of The Third Kind.
• Disguise: Scooby and Shaggy dressed up as pizza chef and waiter.

Cultural references

• Shaggy refers to Luke Skywalker, the main character in the original Star Wars trilogy of films. It's worth noting that Mark Hamill, who played Luke, is a distinguised voice actor in the Scooby-Doo franchise. His most notable roles were that of Corey Anders in The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode, Mystery in Persia (a few years before he was even cast as Luke), Steve in the film Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders, and Crybaby Clown in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
