Look close. I found 18 different references and I bet I still missed some. May the 4th be with you! 😉

18 but one is a stretch… so, 17. Final answer. :p
I count 18 as well.
19 if I count the bar aliens as 2, and Luke and the TaunTaun separately too.
+Joe Vidal I counted Jabba/Princess Leia as two since there was some separation. I counted C3PO and R2D2 as one.
+Rainia Ananda Luke and the TaunTuan as one unit. Bar aliens as one unit.
I'm thinking 17 is the answer going with Jabba/Princess Leia as one unit.
I just did a compare on the original painting. I think I have all of them. I colored yellow the things I thought were references, but was wrong.

+Jeremy Seifert Millennium Falcon is above and to the left of the Emperor (in the pale sky over the shorter building & tree line)
+Jeremy Seifert You missed the Millenium Falcon at the very top in the sky area. Otherwise, we have all the same finds! 😉
Also, way to go above and beyond with posting that! 😉
EDIT: Sorry, just saw that Joe already pointed out the Falcon. 🙂
thanks, completely missed that.
Edit – I went back in, and in my defense, when zoomed way in, the pixelation makes that look a complete mess.
+Scott Cramer This is the one I thought was a stretch: looks like Nien Nunb in the window located just below Yoda… http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nien_Nunb
I checked that, but it looks the same in the original.

+Jeremy Seifert Nice!
I found 16 Star Wars references but a few of them consist of more than one character.
maybe my eyes, but isn't that the jawa sand crawler at the end of the street on the right?
I love this, and am sharing.
+Trystan Bennett I can not see it… on mobile now, though!
