This is a list of references to Star Wars in miscellanea.

Advertising

  • Several independent T-shirt manufacturers have made T-shirts with graphics illustrating various humorous representations of "Snakes on a plane" for the movie Snakes on a Plane. One, with a cartoon representation of Samuel L. Jackson's character Mace Windu cutting down snakes with a lightsaber, was pulled, presumably for copyright reasons.
  • An advertising poster for an intercultural teacher training at Södertörn University College in Stockholm, Sweden, used the slogan "Socrates, Obi-Wan, and you."
  • An advertisement jingle for EGStoltzfus, a construction company based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was a variation on Mad About Me. That jingle had been added to the company's website, along with several others that are a part of their current advertising campaign.
  • For the World Cup, Adidas released a commercial for its Originals line based on the Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina scene.
  • In the commercial of the new Volkswagen Passat 2012 there's a boy dressed as Darth Vader.
  • Spike TV made several Star Wars ads, one of Darth Vader playing golf and cheating with the Force and silencing a protesting golfer with a Force choke. Another of Boba Fett killing two guys for laughing at his name, another of a guy tricking an Ewok into fetching a tennis ball and getting a dart blow to the neck, and finally a Tusken Raider getting reprimanded at work by an irate boss for having sand in his folder: however, the boss quickly changes his tune when 4 other Tuskens poke their heads out from behind neighboring cubicles.
  • Pepsi did a commercial for the release of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, in which Yoda in a diner uses the Jedi Mind Trick to convine a man that he doesnt want his cheeseburger (he then levitates it to himself) convinces the man into handing over his fries, and then says he doesnt desire his drink, yet the man breaks free of the trance stating that he wants the Diet Pepsi, briefly fighting with Yoda until he claims it. Yoda then tries to get a Diet Pepsi from a Wookiee but then thinks better of it.
  • Verizon had a commercial where a man must decide on buying R2-D2 or a Spectrum LG phone. He evantually picks the LG Spectrum due to it being cheaper and having an HD Tv screen.
  • A British commercial features Yoda attempting to help a British man to transfer his features to his new phone, but is surprised that Vodaphone does it by itself with no Jedi training. The man's wife then openly wonders if Yoda tastes like wasabi. Another one shows him in a Bowling Alley where the same thing happens, after which he walks away using the force to pick up a ball and roll it down the lane. The mans girlfriend asks how did he did that to which the man replies that he's a "Jedi Master". Another one takes place with Yoda in a hair salon, On a Train and in the back of a British taxi to advertise the Vodaphone charger. Yoda continued to be a Vodaphone commercial "mascot" of sorts.
  • TomTom GPS has two commercials one with Yoda and one with Darth Vader auditioning for the role of the GPS voice, but both humorously being unable to say the directions without adding their own common sayings and speech patterns.
  • For the 2012 Superbowl, Volkswagen did a commercial featuring a dog getting in shape to take on a new 2012 VW Beetle, and having Doctor Cornelius Evazan watching from the Mos Eisely cantina and remarking that he liked the kid Darth Vader commercial better. Darth Vader then chokes him, until he apologises.
  • Currys PC World has two Star Wars themed commercials, one having Darth Vader visiting ths store in his shuttle, and another with C-3PO and R2-D2 wandering around the store at night interacting with the store's products and appliances.
  • McDonalds released a commercial in 2012 for their Happy Meal, with a new spinning top toy. The commercial has Jedi Younglings training in the Jedi Council room, under the supervision of a Master, including one apprentice that looks like Darth Maul.

  • While searching for the six Dragon Balls stolen by the Red Ribbon Army and to rescue his friends, Goku in his Flying Nimbus engages Red Ribbon soldiers in a jungle speeder bike run very similar to the one in Return of the Jedi.

Dragon Ball Z

  • In Frieza's spaceship, there is a containment pod that uses a liquid with healing properties, similar to a Bacta tank.
  • In Babidi's spaceship, there is a creature called Yakon, which bares a resemblance to the Rancor. Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z, stated he was a fan of Star Wars, making this a likely reference.
  • In the 10th movie Broly: Second Coming, the eponymous villain, while fighting Trunks and Goten in a crazed rage, attempted to strangle the latter in a manner that resembled Darth Vader's characteristic use of Force Choke.

Excel Saga

  • Episode 2, "The Woman from Mars", features an opening crawl made in the Star Wars style, in English, with Japanese subtitles on the right:
EPISODE II 
A LONG TIME AGO IN A
GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...
THERE WERE TWO DOMINATING
POWERS CONTINUOUSLY
FIGHTING A FIERCE WAR WITH
EACH OTHER...... I DON'T
KNOW IF IT IS TRUE OR NOT
AND, HONESTLY, I DON'T
REALLY CARE......
ANYWAY, I, RIKDO KOSHI,
ALLOW "EXCEL SAGA" TO BE
MADE INTO AN ANIMATED
SCIENCE FICTION FILM.
  • Additionally, the Puchuu starship in the same episode resembles a Star Destroyer.

Inuyasha

  • In one episode of the series, Inuyasha, forced to be detained in a hut sealed with magic spells while his wounds heal, is taunted by the shapeshifing kitsune Shippoh, who changes into the form of Inuyasha's love interest, Kagome. Inuyasha responds to this by kicking Shippoh and exclaiming "Laugh it up, fuzzball!"

Mobile Suit Gundam

  • Throughout the Gundam series, among the main melee weapons of the mobile suits are "beam sabers", which are very similar to a lightsaber. Sometimes, their activations use the same sounds as, or similar sounds to, a lightsaber.

Gundam F91

  • The crossbone theme song is actually a remix of the Imperial March, since Tomino claimed himself that he really liked Star Wars.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

  • The nature of the relationship between the characters Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha (both were twins that were separated at birth and even nearly fall in love with each other in adulthood) is an obvious reference to the relationship of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Plus, Kira even shares other similarities with Luke, such as being impatient, natural born pilots, and even deemed to be powerful in each of their respective series (Kira was designed to be the Ultimate Coordinator, while Luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force). Apart from that, even Cagalli and Leia are similar in many ways, for example, both are princesses who are adopted by royal families, have fiery tempers, and are also willing to fight to bring peace and order to their country/galaxy. Both Kira and Cagali's parents are dead, similar with Luke and Leia.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

  • Sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, the main protagonist Shinn Asuka was manipulated by his superior Chairman Gilbert Durandal to believe that everyone opposing ZAFT was evil (including the Clyne Faction, which almost, if not all the protagonists of the first Seed are members of), similar to how Emperor/Chancellor Palpatine convinced Anakin Skywalker that the Jedi were the ones trying to take over, successfully bringing him to the Dark side of the Force. Adding on, Chairman Durandal's room in the MESSIAH resembles Palpatine's throne room on the second Death Star.

  • In the "Land of Tea" story arc, the protagonist Aoi Rokusho uses a sword known as the Sword of the Thunder God, which is used (and sounds) very similar to a lightsaber.
  • The Shadow Imitation Technique of Shikamaru Nara have a sound similar to Blaster
  • One of the Antagonists, Pain, has techniques that work very similarly to Force Push, Force Pull, and Force Repulse.
  • The author has said he has used Chakra as a hook and compared it to The Force directly.
  • In the Fictional Land of Iron there are Samurai Who look Quite Similar to Stormtroopers, Unfortunately they are not fooled by putting on their armor.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

  • In Episode 7: A Human Work, Misato is preparing to enter the radioactive robot, Jet Alone, to try and stop his ceaseless rampage. After almost losing her grip and falling 100' straight off the robot, Misato manages to cling on and crawl back towards the hatch. After opening the hatch and looking far down into the red-hot engine of the robot, Misato utters Obi Wan's phrase, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Pani Poni Dash!

  • In the opening scene of episode 20 there are various characters and vehicles from Episode III that appear in a still frame during the opening narration. Included: a Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, Yoda, and General Grievous. The episode aired in Japan in November of 2005.

Pokemon

  • Not in the anime itself, but a radio broadcast starring the main antagonists Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket did a Star Wars parody, with Meowth behaving in a similar manner to R2-D2, complete with the beeps and bloops.

Puni Puni Poemy

File:DeathStarPuni.JPG

The space station from Puni Puni Poemy... unmentionable things happen there

  • This raunchy and eclectic anime parody series features a giant moon-sized spaceship patterned after the Death Star and a computer-generated homage to the trench run from A New Hope.

Slayers

  • One of the protaganists, Gourry uses a weapon called the Sword of Light. It's basicly a sword hilt with a blade of energy that can be extended and retracted just like a lightsaber. It also makes sounds similar to a lightsaber when active.

Sonic X

  • The name of a robot of Dr. Eggman "E-11" is identical of the name of stormtrooper's E-11 blaster rifle.
  • The Dialect of E-77 is similar of R2-D2.

Also there are few other characters such Ryoko and Kagato who are capable of producing generating similar energy blades from their hands. These blades have the same activation sound effect as lightsabers in the Star Wars universe.
  • The Jurai's space vessels mirror the Mon Calamari cruisers that the Rebels use during Return of the Jedi.

Transformers: Victory

  • In the first episode, Star Saber travelled to the alien settlement of Iron Town, where some inhabitants resembled certain species.
R2d2 c3po
  • In episode 22, a pair of mechanoids uncannily similar to C-3PO and R2-D2 were seen at the Schaeffer Energy plant.

Urusei Yatsura

  • Star Wars gags abound in the series, especially episode 89, "Lum and Ataru, a Night Alone," where after Lum announces her intentions to actually sleep with Ataru (although she means platonically, a nuance that escapes everyone else), the other main male characters go into a lengthy hallucination sequence which is one long parody of Return of the Jedi set to the TV show's first ending theme.
  • Further in one of the opening sequences for the show, the character "Sakuranbo" (Cherry) appears dressed as Darth Vader.

Yu Yu Hakusho

  • This whole series seems to be greatly influenced by "Star Wars". Luke Skywalker and Yusuke Urameshi have so much in common. Both are arrogant punks who glamor and boast big when it comes to fighting but lack the much needed discipline to pull off a win for themselves alone. Both these guys have an elderly sensei with green skin who's much shorter than they are, but is lightning on their feet and kill with vicious intelligence and great command of the battle. After Yusuke achieves the much-needed powers to defeat a major enemy, Toguro, Genkai dies on him, same as Yoda did on Luke. Luke's major enemy would be Palpatine. Also Yusuke goes up against his evil father, Raizen in battle, same way Luke fights against his evil father, Darth Vader. Both fathers die on their sons. There is even a character named Yoda that looks like Yoda from Star Wards, he is one of Yomi's men and the one that is in charge of the technological aspects of his nation in the demon realm.

LucasFilm refused the offer, although they nonetheless gave him his suggested "Darth Jason" prototype action figure.
  • One Sunday Strip, released around the time The Phantom Menace was released, had Jason Fox posting lies to his website regarding The Phantom Menace as a means to kill competition of getting a Phantom Menace ticket opening day. In addition, an arc, also released around the same time, had Peter Fox being reluctant to go back to work at his local Pavilionplex movie theater in large part because of The Phantom Menace being shown on all the available screens, and being inondated with several fans wanting to watch it multiple times, asking an old woman what her alien costume was in autopilot, and several fans making paraphrases from the movie. A daily strip also had Jason attempting to "podrace" by tying his wagon to his mom and dad's cars, only for his dad to refuse.
  • A few winter-themed Sunday Strips reference the Battle of Hoth, including Marcus, as the Rebel Alliance, throwing a snowball that totaled a toy AT-AT, to Jason's irritation as the Rebels never used snowballs, as well as Marcus re-enacting Zev Senesca's search for Luke and Han in the Hoth landscape to locate Jason after he crashed his snowboard.
  • A sunday strip made around the time Attack of the Clones was released had Peter working as the person taking tickets at the theater, with several fans (dressed as clone troopers) claiming that they photocopied the Jango Fett fan's ticket (a pun on the clone troopers being genetic copies of Jango Fett). In addition, another arc had Jason awaiting the chance to get tickets online from the local theater, and was camped out in front of the computer, only for it to run as slow as "a bantha on Hoth," making time by communicating via posts on the computer. He eventually does get the tickets for 4 consecutive showings of Star Wars, alongside Marcus, amounting to 8 tickets, and it was eventually revealed that the reason for the slow server was because one of the workers at the pavilionplex (Johnson) mixed up the butter server with the internet server when his boss told him to wash it out.
  • A sunday strip, made around the time Revenge of the Sith was released, had Jason and Marcus re-enacting the duel on Mustafar at the public pool, even dying the water orange, although both presumably got into deep trouble when the lifeguard woke up (it was implied that they did this while the lifeguard fell asleep on duty). Another sunday strip had Jason and Marcus speculating what caused Anakin's fall to the Dark Side.
  • When Peter is forced by Andy and Jason to mow the lawn, Peter frequently ends up mowing up Jason's Anakin Skywalker action figure, to which Jason retorts that he did it to "make it like the real deal."
  • In one Sunday Strip, Jason is randomly apparating to Tatooine and Hoth, with a Tauntaun Trooper, C-3PO, Wampa, ANH Luke, and TESB Luke welcoming Jason to Hoth, Tatooine, Hoth, Tatooine, and Hoth respectively. It was later revealed to be dreams resulting from Paige and Andy Fox (his sister and mother, respectively) having a major thermostat war.
  • One strip had Andy remarking about a new version of The Phantom Menace that was revealed, which removed some unlikable aspects of the film (referring to the Phantom Edit), to which Andy then concludes that George Lucas will not be pleased. The final panel shows Skywalker Ranch, where a man (implied to be Lucas) is heard going into a rant regarding how his "Jar-Jar Free edition" of the film ended up leaked, and lamented the millions to billions of dollars he lost in revenue due to it being leaked, before an aide told Lucas to stop beating on R2-D2.

They are standing on a desert with two suns in the background, mimicking the planet Tatooine.

Odie is supposed to represent Obi-Wan Kenobi in the picture, while Arlene and Garfield represent Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker respectively. Arlene, Princess Leia, states that "This is Odie-Wan-Kanobe. He has the Force to help us." To which Garfield, Skywalker, replies "He hides it well."

  • During the release of Revenge of the Sith, the Hispanic-themed comic strip series La Cucaracha did an adaptation of Star Wars focusing on the aspects of Latino culture named "eStar Wars", based on one of the characters' comments about the struggles undergoing in the films was similar to Latinos.

The strips also derisively referred to the main villains as "Republicons". Eventually, the apprentice is revealed to have been the villain all along, a'la Vader's revelation that he is Luke's father in The Empire Strikes Back, to which the other main character deduces that the plot was most likely written by George Lucas as well in irritation, causing Lucas to mention he's a good Latino writer as well.

Rippo angrily wonders if these people, instead of hurting his hand every time they shake hands, can't just crush his head like Darth Vader.
  • In a comic presented in the eleventh volume of the Swedish albums, Rocky and Rippo are discussing false ID's.

How It Should Have Ended

  • How It Should Have Ended is a web video series that portrays humorous ways a movie could have ended, by employing logic or simplifying situations that were deemed too ridiculous. A Return of the Jedi video was made showing how the gang could have blown Jabba the Hutt and his entourage up with thermal detonators eliminating the need for a risky plan, touched up on the fact that the Death Star II was more vunerable, and that Shuttle Tydirium might be noticed missing. Later it also shows the Stormtroopers showing hysteria for not being able to shoot correctly and being killed by harmless Ewoks, Darth Vader being overjoyed that he had a daughter and attacking the Emperor for lying to him. He then appears in spirit form as the maimed and armless Anakin Skywalker, then switching from his older form, his young adult form, and his child form much to the chagrin of Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn appear as ghosts (but no Padmé Amidala) and all the Younglings that Anakin killed, prompting Yoda to note that the situation was awkward. As a funny sidenote, Han Solo still blind from his carbon freezing stint remarks he may be missing something worthwhile to look at, which is Leia in a revealing metal bikini.

After being magically dressed he comments about looking ".. like the Games Workshop version of a Jedi Knight."
