The Amazing World of Gumball[]

  • In "The Remote", Anais tells the boys that "No, there is another", referencing The Empire Strikes Back where Yoda tells Obi-Wan that there is another hope.
  • In "The Fridge, Nicole tells Gumball to join her and be a winner. This is a reference to The Empire Strikes Back, when Darth Vader is telling Luke to join the Dark Side of the force. In the same episode, Nicole urging Gumball to use his anger is a reference to Return of the Jedi, when Darth Sidious tells Luke to use his anger to kill Darth Vader. Another reference to Return of the Jedi is Richard breathing heavily (akin to Darth Vader) and asking Gumball to remove his mask, which mirrors Vader/Anakin Skywalker spending his last moments asking his son Luke to remove his helmet.
  • In "The Recipe", Richard says "No! I just felt a disturbance in the food chain; as if a thousand sandwiches cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced." This references Obi-Wan Kenobi's famous line from A New Hope.

Arthur[]

Ben 10[]

  • In the original series, in the episode, "Secrets", as Vilgax tracks the Omnitrix, he says "I have you now." This is an obvious spoof of Star Wars, when Vader says, "I have you now!" And both Darth Vader and Vilgax say it in the same exact voice. Sound effects used from TIE Fighters crashing, X-wing lasers, and Lightsaber.

Codename: Kids Next Door[]

  • Primitive versions of many Star Wars vehicles are seen in the show, made of wood or school buses.

Roll and unfold like The Phantom Menace droids (Droidekas). Bus Walkers. Through legs Rainbow leggings rope. Leg step on. Use the soup. Walker shots. Use the soup. Lightsaber fight. Use the soup! Lizzie says, "Use the Soup!" (Use the Force!), the use of Bus Walkers (AT-ATs), the drivers of the Bus Walkers (Storm and Snow Troopers), the girls wrapping the Bus Walkers up like Luke using harpoons and tow cables to fell the AT-ATs, Nigel using an explosive to feel the Bus Walker (Luke and explosive to destroy an AT-AT), and the Snowball guns (laser turrets), Numbuh 1 uses an X-Wing as transportation, Numbuh 2 and sled riders (Snowspeeders), Jimmy's clothes and his transport are both allusions to Anakin turning to Vader in Episode III.

Numbuh One's final escape from the middle school is a parody of the Millennium Falcon's escape from the Death Star in "Return of the Jedi". Bus Walkers: Appearance Although the Bus Walker employed by President Jimmy are made to resemble the AT-ATs used during the Hoth Battle of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, they have the same tentacles and sound effects are used by the walking machines of AT-AT Imperial Walker. It would make a lot of sense, considering that the ATs were inspired by the walking machines of the aforementioned movie.
  • In episode #60, "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.F.I.V.E.", The birthday cake in this episode is an obvious play of the Death Star from the Star Wars trilogy.

Also, in this episode, Katma wears a metal bikini (which she referred to as a brass bikini) is the iconic Slave Leia costume.

Drawn Together[]

When Clara's vagina begins to close in on Wooldoor, he calls out, "3PO! 3PO!" on what looks to be a comlink.

  • The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist
    • In a deleted scene from this episode (which appears as an extra on the DVD), Toot tries to convince Foxxy to join her in her plan to blow up the house, in much the same way Darth Vader tried to convince Luke Skywalker to join him on the dark side in The Empire Strikes Back. Vader's speech would be parodied again in Season Two's The Lemon-AIDS Walk.
  • Foxxy vs. the Board of Education
    • The floating ghost of Ling-Ling helping Foxxy is just like Obi-Wan Kenobi helping Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy.
    • Every time someone pulls the lever, a trapdoor opens and drops the victim into a pit with a beast similar to the Rancor Beast from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (though Ling-Ling calls it a Zalganout beast).

  • In "Mark of Xero", has the lightsaber raiders
  • In "The Queen is Wild", The clothes that Dodgers was wearing, and the fact that he's riding a 2 legged, harnessed creature through the icy planet sends out thoughts to the remote ice planet of Hoth.

Family Guy[]

"Lucasfilm has been... unbelievably supportive of... the show. And again, a lot of companies are very uptight, and they [Lucasfilm], you know, have the enlightened viewpoint: 'Hey, the more our stuff is out there....'"
Seth MacFarlane[src]
  • In "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story", Peter is on a newscast with his segment, "What Grinds My Gears". In one of his segments, he says "Know what really grinds my gears? When I can't find the droids I'm looking for." It then shows two stormtroopers sitting in armchairs who say, "Yeah, what's up with that?". Later in that film, Stewie, trying to chase his future self takes a car surrounded by Jawas by shooting them away.
  • In "Chitty Chitty Death Bang", In the episode about Stewie's birthday, the psycho baby himself pulls a weapon on an airport security guard and says he will spend the rest of his life "in frozen carbonite." In a scene that parodies the Death Star Trench, a squadron of sperm in their enemy ships are heading for the egg and Stewart, like Vader, picks off all the other sperm one by one and they crash and burn. Later he shoots a guard at the airport saying, 'Enjoy spending forever trapped in carbonite, my friend.' He then becomes encased with his hands up like Han Solo. Stewie freezes an airline pilot in carbonite so he can pass down his wisdom. Stewie remembers when he was still a sperm swimming to his mother's egg. He is the same as his normal self but inside a sperm "space ship". His attire and how he battles the other sperm with laser cannons, etc spoofs the death star battle of this movie. Stewie freezes the aeroplane pilot in carbonite just like what happenned to Han Solo in this film.
  • In "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater", Peter mentions a Star Wars Collectible Glass when discussing vases. Brian snaps Peter out of his rich snobbery by using the glass and the story of Lando Calrissian's betrayal. He also does a parody of the famous "I am your father" line.

  • In "Emission Impossible", Stuey recalls his own conception. In an obvious Death Star parody, he and his brother sperm swim down a long trench on the egg's surface in order to reach their target. A fellow sperm swims up on them and shoots other sperm down as Darth Vader did with the other ships in ANH. When Peter and Lois decide to have another baby, Stewie goes into Peter's testicles and destroys sperm ships in a parody of the attack on the Death Star, which both of Peter's balls are shown to look like. Stewie's shrinking ship and outfit when flying it spoofs that of the death-star fight scenes of this film. He fights against 2 giant spheres spoofing the death star too.
  • In "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", Stewie has a dream, in which he fires a blaster at Santa, who deflects the bolt with his hand uses the same sounds from Star Wars. Later in the episode, when Peter believes Lois is angry at him for accidentally donating all the family's gifts to charity, he says, "Lois, if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine."
  • In "Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows", Peter imagines some bird chicks as having the faces of his children. He sees his sons' faces, but at the last one, struggling to remember his third child, instead of seeing Meg, he eases and sees a pink Boba Fett's helmet, remarking on it by saying "Sweet."
  • In the episode "Road to Europe", Brian slices open the camel's belly to save Stewie from the cold, much like Han Solo did with his Tauntaun to warm Luke in The Empire Strikes Back, even adding Solo's classic "And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."
  • In "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", after Lois says she doesn't trust laser eye surgery, it cuts away to a shot of Luke Skywalker getting ready to perform surgery on a woman with a lightsaber. Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke (voiced by Mark Hamill) to use the Force, which results in the lightsaber stabbing through the woman's head. Peter says "Thanks for a Galaxy far, far away!" in the same episode.

    Lois has reservations about Meg getting laser eye surgery, and for good reason.

  • In "Blind Ambition", the episode ends with Peter at a ceremony very much like the one at the end of A New Hope, even down to the music and appearances by Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2. The end credits are also Star Wars themed.
  • In the episode "Don't Make Me Over", Brian carries Stewie across the mall, much to his discomfort. Stewie quotes Yoda, with "Strong with the Force, young Skywalker is." Brian exclaims "I don't believe this..." Stewie then says "That is why you fail".

Suddenly twin TIE/LN starfighters appear from each side of the camera, and Joe shoots them down with sound effects similar to starfighter lasers.
  • In the beginning of the episode "PTV", when Stewie has a sword-vs-rubber-chicken fight with Osama Bin Laden, their initial movements match those of the start of Yoda's duel with Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones. After this, the show's opening credits run in the style of the Naked Gun movies, and one of the scenes shown is the Battle of Hoth.
  • In "The Courtship of Stewie's Father", Peter conducts the Sand People Choir in a cutaway. When the Sand People run away, Obi-Wan Kenobi appears and says "The Sand People are easily frightened, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers." Peter nods and is pleased, as this means the choir will sound better with additional singers.
  • In "Brian Sings and Swings", Meg walks in on Chris in the bathroom while his hair and cap is being placed on his head, with a sample from The Imperial March being played in the background.

It cuts to Hoth where Han uses Luke's lightsaber to cut open the belly of the tauntaun for warmth. However, instead of the tauntaun, it is Peter who is opened up (though he is still alive and well). Han asks if this is still okay, and Peter replies that it was just his fat that was cut open.
  • In "Mother Tucker", a cutaway shows Darth Vader working as a meter maid, issuing a parking ticket. After being accosted and talking it over with his wife, Karen, Vader goes to the bank to apply for a loan to build the Death Star. When the banker says that he doesn't believe that would be in the bank's best interest, Vader lies and says instead that he wants to open a sports bar.
  • In "Saving Private Brian", Stewie wonders why Darth Sidious has a desk in Revenge of the Sith.
  • In "Chick Cancer", a cutaway recerates the scene in A New Hope when the Rebel commander describes the battle plan and Luke says to another pilot, "It's not impossible. I used to bullseye Womp Rats with my T-16 back home; they're not much bigger than two meters." After this, the other pilot pulls Luke aside and the two argue about Luke humiliating him. The argument is in the style of Curb Your Enthusiasm and includes the show's theme music at the end.
  • In the episode "Barely Legal", Stewie mentions the time when Darth Sidious figured out the formula for great Star Wars dialogue. This leads to a cutaway scene showing Sidious sitting on his throne saying "Something, something, something, dark side. Something, something, something, complete..."
  • In "Peter's Two Dads", Peter sees a Force Ghost of his father shortly after his death accompanied by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. After each character makes a comment, Anakin Skywalker walks on scene and says "And I'm Hayden Christensen!", a reference to his insertion into the final scene of Return of the Jedi.

  • In the episode "It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One", where Lois becomes mayor, one of the reasons she gives for raising taxes is to stop the fake situation where "Darth Vader tried to buy yellowcake uranium from unwed teenage mothers."

An angry Mac then tells him off for getting involved and, feeling betrayed by Mac, Bloo is recruited by Nemesis who builds him a cybernetic Darth Vader-esque body suit and gives him the name Uni-scorn.

Comic Book Guy is ahead of them in line cos-playing in a eBay-bought outfit, the actual plaid clothes of the director Randall Curtis (a spoof of George Lucas), with expandable pregnancy panels added to fit his rotund figure. The movie is horrible, with an extremely long and boring Senate debate scene and an annoying character named "Jim-Jam" (Jar Jar Binks) introduced, so Marge convinces the children to write Randall a letter of complaint. Their only reply is to be written off with free Jim-Jam cereal (which is simple alphabet cereal with more J's, as Curtis says later on) and merchandise. The family later decide to visit California, and the kids crash Cosmic Wars Ranch, where they meet Mr. Curtis himself. They convince him that better technological FX are no replacement for good storytelling, and the director agrees to go back to his roots, which is old western and samurai movies; he rides off on a tauntaun to the video store. The entire first act is seen as a prime example of Lucas bashing in pop culture.

    • In the episode Steal this Episode, one of the pirated films Homer Simpson aired was Cosmic Wars Episode VII.

  • In the episode "Clubhouses," Cartman and Kenny's clubhouse is named "Ewok Village 2000."
  • The "Chewbacca defense" is a legal strategy used by Johnnie Cochran in the South Park episode "Chef Aid". In this episode, Cochran (or rather, an animated character parodying the real-life lawyer) shows the jury a picture of Chewbacca and gives a speech about how the fact he is talking to them about Chewbacca during the trial "does not make sense." He continues this line of defense with increasingly silly reasons why talking about Chewbacca during a trial does not make sense. His speech confuses the jury to the point that one juror's head explodes. In popular culture, especially on the Internet, the term "Chewbacca defense" has come to mean any legal strategy which attempts to overwhelm its audience with irrelevant arguments to obscure the truth. The defense is based upon the 'fact' that Chewbacca resides on Endor, which is ironically false. (Wookiees being from Endor was a misconception that first appeared in the earlier episode "Pink Eye.")

A little spy robot thingy zips through the atmosphere and crashes into the snowy planet below. That's when Chewbacca shows up and blasts it away with his crossbow laser. He shakes his fury fist in the sky in triumph. Chewbacca--Raaar." Hurley plans to finish the script and to send it to George Lucas with a few "improvements". Later, referring to Miles being unwilling to talk to his father, he says: "In Empire, Luke found out Vader was his father, but instead of putting away his lightsaber and talking about it, he overreacted and got his hand cut off. I mean, they worked it out eventually, but at what cost? Another Death Star was destroyed, Boba Fett got eaten by the Sarlacc, and we got the Ewoks. It all could've been avoided if they'd just, you know, communicated. And let's face it. The Ewoks sucked, dude."[2]

Spaced[]

  • 1.1: "Beginnings". In an early scene, Tim asks Daisy how things are going. She replies, "Same as always", to which Tim responds, "That bad, huh?" in the same as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo's dialogue in Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi.
  • 1.4: "Battles". A clerk at a dog pound says that if a dog is not sold, "we put them down…all of them" a quote is made by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. Daisy then screams, "Noooooo!" in a parody of the scene from The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker learns that Darth Vader is his father.
  • 1.5: "Chaos". Tim invites Brian round to watch the Star Wars trilogy. Tim cries in joy as the Yub Nub song plays, and brings up his theory that the Imperial officer who decided not to shoot down the escape pod containing R2-D2 and C-3PO in A New Hope is responsible for everything that later occurs in the film. This leads to a discussion on chaos theory. Later, during the planning of Colin's rescue, the following dialogue occurs, mimicking the scene in the Rebel briefing room where Luke Skywalker and "Fake Wedge" comment on Jan Dodonna's plan:
Tim: "Now, we're going to go over the fence here. It's about two meters high, so we're going to have to do a bit of climbing."
Brian: "That's impossible!"
Mike: "It's not impossible. I used to climb over my, uh, neighbor's fence when I was a kid; it was about two meters."
Later in the episode, Tim assigns the group callsigns: he is "Han", Mike is "Luke" (to which Mike objects, asking if he can be "Han" instead), Daisy is "Leia", Brian is "Chewie" and, as Tim is running out of names, Twist is "Jabba". Twist asks if Jabba is "the Princess", to which the others hastily respond, "Yes". A music in the background that resembles the Imperial March.
  • 1.7: "Ends". An argument between Tim and Daisy concerning Tim meeting up with his ex-girlfriend ends with the following dialogue, that uses the same dialogue between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo prior to the Battle of Yavin:
    Daisy: "Right, well, take care of yourself, then."
    Tim: "Thanks."
    Daisy: "I guess it's what you're best at, isn't it?"
  • 2.1 "Back". Tim says he had some things to "work out" with George Lucas following the end of series 1; we then cut to a sequence wherein Tim burns his evil fire-breathing dragon in a parody of Luke Skywalker burning his father's armor on Endor in Episode VI. Later, when Tim, Daisy and Mike arrive home to find the government agents waiting with Brian, Brian says, "they arrived right before you did." Tim responds with, "you Lando!"
  • 2.2 "Change". Tim rants at a young boy about the "jumped-up firework display of a toy advert" he believes The Phantom Menace to be, after the boy asks for a Jar Jar Binks doll. His boss, Bilbo Bagshot, then chastises him for his irrational hatred of the film, reminding him that the Ewoks were just as "rubbish" as Jar Jar, but Tim doesn't mind them. In comparison with Jar Jar, Tim says, the Ewoks are like Shaft. He is fired, but a woman at the DSS takes a shine to him because he didn't like The Phantom Menace. Later, when Tim overcomes this problem, rival comic book store owner Derek, whom Tim now works for, says "well done, Tim. 'You've taken your first step into a larger world'", quoting Obi-Wan Kenobi's line to Luke Skywalker in A New Hope.
  • 2.5: "Gone". Following a confrontation with Tim and Daisy, Duane Benzie (Peter Serafinowicz, also voicing Darth Maul) finds and steals their house keys, declaring "At last, I shall emerge the enemies. At last, I shall have revenge", as a reference to the quote: "At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge".
  • 2.6: "Dissolution". The final scene also parodies of the final scenes of The Empire Strikes Back. Mike and Brian set off in Mike's van to find Marsha, prompting the following dialogue, held over walkie-talkies:
Mike: "When we find Marsha, we'll contact you."
Brian: "We'll, er, we'll find her Daisy…promise you."
Tim: "We'll see you at the rendezvous."
[Mike yawns, which, over the radio, statics]
Mike and Brian drive off as the closing music of the film starts. The sound of the Millennium Falcon departing is also used for Mike's van. The last shot is of Tim with his arm around Daisy, both looking out of the window of their flat, just as Luke and Leia look out of the window of Redemption. The scene irises out, and the music segues resembles the Star Wars end theme as the credits roll in the familiar Star Wars style against a starry backdrop.
The scene where Daisy opens her new lipstick is shot in the same as Luke Skywalker turning on his lightsaber for the first time, and sound effects are the same.
  • The documentary "Skip to the End" features an epilogue for the show, featuring Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson in character as Tim and Daisy. Tim says he loves Daisy, to which she replies, "I know", possibly as the lines are quoted spoken by Han Solo and Leia Organa. Finally, Tim calls their baby Luke, presumably after Luke Skywalker, though Daisy replies, "Tim, we're not calling her 'Luke'."

  • In series 5, a regular section called "Dan Quayle in Space" (named "The Empire Strikes Back") opens with ex-US vice president-like Dan Quayle waving a light stick around while it is making lightsaber sounds. Afterwards, a puppet of Salman Rusty comes on in a Leia-esque hologram saying "Help me Obi-Wan Kamanie, you're my only hope!" After a brief exchange a surly/angered/macho robot named FU2 says "Feel the Force Dan, feel the Force!"

  • The Xindi superweapon is a large, spherical station/ship with a beam weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. Its appearance and function strongly resemble the Death Star, which was intentional, as Rick Berman wanted it that way.
  • One episode features a ship called the ISS Avenger, which was named as an homage to the Star Destroyer Avenger. The homage is all the more appropriate in that the episode takes place in the Mirror Universe, where Starfleet is not a primarily scientific branch of the diverse, benevolent Federation, but the brutal military arm of the oppressive, Human-dominated Terran Empire.
  • The episode Kir'Shara features a holographic device that contains ancient Vulcan teachings called the Kir'Shara. The Kir'Shara is shaped like a Sith Holocron, and it's purpose (containing ancient teachings) is similar to the purpose of holocrons. The history it records - the schism in which the cool, logical Vulcans and the fiery, passionate Romulans evolved into separate races - is also similar to the ancient Force Wars between the light and dark sides.

  • The name Vader can be seen on a gravestone in the episode "Sub Rosa" (see here).
