* The 2011 animated Western film ''[[Rango (2011 film)|Rango]]'' mentions multiple times a character named "the Spirit of the West", a mythical figure among the inhabitants of the town of Dirt, who conducts an "alabaster carriage", protected by "golden guardians". Near the end of the film, the titular character meets the Spirit (voiced by [[Timothy Olyphant]]) who appears to him as what is implied to be an elderly version of either Eastwood or the Man with No Name (although that is not explicitly stated, except for Rango mentioning that was once the Spirit's appearance's moniker), with the carriage being a [[golf cart]] and the guardians being [[Academy Awards]]-like statuettes.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/2011/03/06/the-top-six-rango-riffs-on-classic-movies/ |title=Johnny Depp's 'Rango': Its top six riffs on classic movies |last=Breznican |first=Anthony |date=6 March 2011 |magazine= Entertainment Weekly |access-date=6 November 2018}}</ref>

He's not your typical hero. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211031145/https://ew.com/recap/the-mandalorian-season-1-episode-3/ |archive-date=December 11, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
