The Day the Earth Stood Still possible reference

[seeker37]

:wave:
Hello guys, i tryed search and i didn`t find anything about this...

I found a NPC named Klatu in Honor Hold.
I think it`s a reference to the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film) because the pilot of the spaceship thingy in the movie is named Klaatu and the NPC is a draenei ( They are aliens ) .

This is my first post so don`t be cruel if this is a repost , thx.

Actually, no. The film with Keanu Reeves is just a remake of the original which came out in 1951.

Quite nice find actually, though I have seen him before, I havent really thought about it. +Repx1!

Cool thing is that in the movie (the day he earth stood still) the woman's son is actually playing WoW kinda cross referencing.
