Many shows have a few references to Star Wars. It's a popular film series, so the majority of the audience is likely to understand it. However, some shows go a step further, and have an entire episode that revolves around references to Star Wars, Luke, I Am Your Father scenes, Big NOOOOOOOs, and thinly-veiled Captain Ersatzes of Darth Vader. The focal or point-of-view character usually plays the part of Luke Skywalker, since episodes frequently take most references from primarily A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back (primarily the former). The episode need not be a parody, and in many cases is an Homage, and sometimes a full Whole-Plot Reference. Compare Where No Parody Has Gone Before, Jurassic Farce and Charlie and the Chocolate Parody. |

Space Brat: Book #4 (Planet of the Dips) spoofed this. Among other things, there is a Yoda-like hermit with a similar-sounding name (Old Bebop Kenoobie), and his advice to the main character is "Use the farce, Blork!" During the climax, Blork does indeed use the farce: when he loses his trial by Skwishifroot, he also loses his temper and throws a massive tantrum. The resulting skwishifroot fight causes the Dips to have more fun in one day than they have in years, and they offer him anything he wants — except his Poodnoobie back. Blork realizes this was the farce that Kenoobie had told him to use, and he figures out a reward that, once it's achieved, lets him keep Lunk after all. | |

Samurai Jack does this a lot, although the line between parody and Homage is often hard to determine. Two episodes where this plays important parts of the plot are "The Scottsman Saves Jack" and "Jack and the Flying Prince and Princess". | |

Then there are the two animated shorts starring Maggie the series released on Star Wars Day. The first is 2021's Maggie Simpson in "The Force Awakens From Its Nap", which has Maggie going to a Star Wars themed daycare and teaming up with BB-8 in a quest to retrieve her pacifier. The second is 2023's Maggie Simpson in "Rogue Not Quite One", where Maggie ends up flying through space in Grogu's stroller and gets chased by TIE Fighters. | |

An episode of That '70s Show was set when Star Wars was first in theaters (It wouldn't become A New Hope until years later). Eric worries about losing Donna to another guy, resulting in a dream sequence that puts the cast in Star Wars. The best part is Red as Obi-Wan: "Jedi Knight? More like Jedi dumbass." (As a result it became one of Eric's defining gags.) Then there is this scene where Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian himself) plays a pastor who is into Star Wars just as much as Eric. |

The Simpsons: The episode "Mayored to the Mob" features Adam Westing guest voice Mark Hamill, who spends about half the episode trying to convince everyone he is not Luke, before giving in and playing along with a Star Wars-reference-heavy adaptation of Guys and Dolls. It has the number "Luke Be a Jedi Tonight". Then there are the two animated shorts starring Maggie the series released on Star Wars Day. The first is 2021's Maggie Simpson in "The Force Awakens From Its Nap", which has Maggie going to a Star Wars themed daycare and teaming up with BB-8 in a quest to retrieve her pacifier.

The CB Bears episode "Disappearing Satellites" takes a number of stylistic cues from the first film. It has a villain loosely inspired by Darth Vader, who flies a spaceship that resembles the Millennium Falcon. His henchman is a beeping robot named X-9 heavily based off R2-D2, although he does speak actual English between his beeps. CB Bears was one of the first cartoons to do this; the episode debuted on December 3, 1977, barely six months after the first Star Wars premiered. | |

Spaced also featured numerous shot-for-shot parodies of moments in the Star Wars movies. They were particularly cutting about the prequel trilogy — but ironically, because they had been so complementary about the original movies, they were granted the rights to use original music, etc in their parodies of the trilogies. | |

Most films in The View Askewniverse have Star Wars references thanks to Kevin Smith's geeky obsessions. Most evident in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back which has the title and features a lightsaber duel with Mark Hamill at its climax ("Don't fuck with the Jedi master, son!"), complete with his hand being cut off and him remarking "not again." The same film has a Carrie Fisher cameo, though her scene has no Star Wars references. | |

Although several games of the series have references to Star Wars, Final Fantasy XII is the least subtle about them. From an Evil Empire capturing a rebel Princess, to a black-clad warrior with a familial bond to a party member, to a gigantic superweapon with enough power to obliterate a civilization. Special mention goes to Balthier, a Sky Pirate with a Cool Ship and a long lived Beast(wo)man companion, who hides a heart of gold behind a mercenary exterior. | |

In The Powerpuff Girls (1998) episode "Boogie Frights", the Boogie Man launches a giant disco ball to eclipse the sun so that his fellow nightmare creatures can party in the daytime as well and terrorize humanity forever. The Powerpuff Girls fly out to the disco ball in a dead-on parody of the attack on the Death Star. In the end, Buttercup flies out of the sun like the Millennium Falcon, winging two demons on Bubbles' tail with her heat vision, allowing Bubbles to fire a heat-vision blast that destroys the Death Star disco ball. | |

LEGO Star Wars didn't just stop at video games. They have two half-hour episodes that aired on Cartoon Network as well. The episodes are full of comedy that takes full advantage of the Lego settings and in-jokes about the series, including the famous "Han shot first" debacle. The Padawan Menance involves a young boy named Han Solo sneaking his way into a group of padawans touring the Galactic High Senate. Hilarity Ensues as he soon gets involved with Yoda to recover Secret Battle Plans from Ventress. Meanwhile, C-3PO has to take care of the padawans, but soon finds himself in trouble with Jabba the Hutt. Darth Vader frequently interrupts the production by breaking into the scene, only to have George Lucas tell him that he doesn't show up in this episode. The Empire Strikes Out takes place immediately after the end of A New Hope. Before the Rebels have time to celebrate, Han and Leia head off to Naboo to ask Boss Nass for help in fighting the Empire. They both soon get washed away by waves of slobber. Luke heads to the capital city on Naboo, but finds himself getting chased by an army of fangirls. Meanwhile, Emperor Palpatine decides to go ahead and rebuild the Death Star, inviting Darth Maul to help out Darth Vader in building it. Hilarity Ensues again as Darth Vader soon finds himself the Butt-Monkey for the majority of the episode, including getting zapped by Jawas, repainted, and sold as a used droid. |

In the wake of buying out Lucasfilm, Disney created Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars, featuring the plot of A New Hope from the perspective of the show's characters with the characters from the film interacting with them at certain points. Before that, there were plenty of other Star Wars references sprinkled throughout. Most notably, in "Backyard Aquarium", where Perry and Doofenshmirtz have a bratwurst/hot dog fight that mostly mirrors the Dooku/Yoda fight from Attack of the Clones. At one point, Doof stretches out his hand as if he is about to use The Force, and Perry looks at fixed light. Then Doof says, "No, I was just kidding, but I made ya look, didn't I?" |

User Friendly did an arc "a long time ago, in another incarnation" parodying A New Hope, with the Dust Puppy in the Luke role and the Crud Puppy in the Vader role. The Dust Puppy, however, takes a backseat to Eric S. Raymond ("May the Open Source be with you!") and Lan Solaris, cocky pilot of the Millennium Bug. | |

Bloom County once had an extended dream sequence that parodied Star Wars, with Binkley as Luke Skywalker and other cast members playing various Star Wars characters. Notably, this sequence parodied academic discussions of Star Wars more than the films themselves. Darth Vader was a pompous film scholar who decried the Star Wars films as "intellectual Jell-O" fit only for the slow-minded masses. Binkley (as Luke) responds by slicing him in two with a lightsaber, and quipping "Jedi Knights aren't fond of critics". Even better, the very next comic has George Lucas telling Binkley that they have six more films, and should get to them by 1998. In the collected edition, Berkeley Breathed remarks "I was one year off." While Cutter John and the animals usually rode around in his wheelchair playing Star Trek, one Sunday strip involved them playing a variation of Star Wars (with Opus wearing "Luke" on his helmet) to take a shot at the recent breakup of the Bell System, with a reminder that the former parent company, AT&T, was still out there◊. The strip helped to codify the Saul Bass-designed AT&T globe logo's nickname, the Death Star. |

Gintama has not only one, but two entire story arc based around a Star Wars parody. Ironically, it got the basic idea of the films down: Japanese samurai (what the Jedi were based off of), a vaguely retro-futuristic setting, and quirky aliens. | |

The dodgeball episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide includes Cookie joining The Dark Side and gaining a roboticized voice and heavy breathing from his dodge ball face shield, an Image Freeze echoing the end of the master-vs.apprentice fight in A New Hope, and a dodgeball called The Force, among others. | |

Each of the first three Toy Story films has some parts that correspond with the original trilogy: In the first Toy Story, Buzz mentions that Zurg has a planet-destroying superweapon like the Death Star in A New Hope, and Sid "interrogates" Woody while asking "Where's the Rebel base? Talk!" Zurg in Toy Story 2 is shown to be a parody of Darth Vader, even quoting "I am your father" from The Empire Strikes Back. Toy Story 3 references Return of the Jedi in that Big Baby picks up Lotso and throws him into the garbage just like how Vader threw Palpatine down a pit. |

Teen Titans (2003) has a Trapped in TV Land episode where Control Freak, using his remote, drags himself and the Titans into the world of television, ending with a final confrontation in a Star Wars-esque spoof where Control Freak takes over the show's main villain role by knocking a Darth Vader lookalike into a Bottomless Pit before telling the Luke Skywalker expy, "I Am Your Father…" said episode notably references the prequels as well, when the Titans accidentally runs into a bunch of Mecha-Mooks resembling B1 Battle Droids, that Beast Boy attempts to fool before suddenly remembering the Jedi Mind Trick doesn't work on robots. | |

Disney Mouse and Duck Comics: "May The Farce Be With You", a Donald Duck / Mickey Mouse comic. Zé Carioca of all people also had one of these. There's also a 1991 Italian Mickey comic which basically retells the story of the first movie, with Mickey and Goofy both taking the role of Luke, and getting dragged into a war between an evil empire and a small rebellion. |

In "The Mega Mall Problem" on Peg + Cat, when Peg complains about not being able to see to dance because she's wearing a zebra mask, Cat goes Yoda on her: "Your eyes can play tricks on you. Trust them, do not." (Though, technically, "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them." was actually Ben Kenobi's line in the original film.) | |

Darths & Droids is a Campaign Comic based on the premise of a group of tabletop gamers playing out the Star Wars movies as a campaign in a generic science fiction game system, in a world where the actual Star Wars movies never existed. (As of early 2020, they've completed all six Lucasfilm movies, Rogue One, and the above-mentioned Muppet Show episode; and are about to start the Disney sequels.) | |

Final Fantasy: Although several games of the series have references to Star Wars, Final Fantasy XII is the least subtle about them. From an Evil Empire capturing a rebel Princess, to a black-clad warrior with a familial bond to a party member, to a gigantic superweapon with enough power to obliterate a civilization. Special mention goes to Balthier, a Sky Pirate with a Cool Ship and a long lived Beast(wo)man companion, who hides a heart of gold behind a mercenary exterior. Final Fantasy IV deserves mention in this regard as well, especially for pulling off its own Luke, I Am Your Father-esque twist with its Tin Tyrant villain near the end. |

The Fairly OddParents! is littered with Star Wars references: one was when Timmy was trying to win the "Dimmy Awards". One of the scenes he filmed was a parody of the scene where Skywalker was trying to blow up the Death Star. Butch Hartman is a huge Star Wars fan. There was an episode that combined original trilogy references with allusions to Attack of the Clones when Timmy wishes for a copy machine that makes things real. One of the things brought to life was Darth Vader parody Dark Laser, who would go on to become a recurring character. The "Abra-Catastrophe" special had a limited example in the opening dream sequence, parodying the Luke, I Am Your Father scene while also being a Take That! towards Jar Jar Binks. The "Wishology" trilogy had the Cantina scene with Timmy as Luke, Dark Laser as Darth Vader, Vicky dressing up as Leia, Mark as R2-D2 in a metal suit that squeaked to imitate R2's beeps, and Crocker as Chewbacca, imitating the latter's growls due to his sinuses acting up from his fur parka. Also done in the episode where Poof went to Spellementary School. Foop and Poof got into a "wandsaber" fight with Foop as Darth Maul and Poof as Young Obi-Wan. |

FoxTrot had an arc where Jason sent a script to George Lucas that had him inserted into the series as Luke's Marty Stu younger brother. A later FoxTrot arc had Jason stuck inside his Darth Vader helmet until his dad rescued him. When Jason marveled at how his father was able to open the helmet, his dad commented that he had that problem with his Vader helmet during the original trilogy. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has one episode revolving around it. There is a parody of the Darth Vader fight on a catwalk and they even parody "Use the Force" with "Use the soup". Another episode stole the trench run from A New Hope, and another episode had a parody of the Death Star scene in Episode 4. On a gigantic cake, no less. The episode's climax was a parody of the Super Star Destroyer's destruction — it really cut a slice into Father's plans. Plus the School Bus Imperial Walkers and the Sled Snowspeeders in a giant Hoth/Snow Day battle. | |

The Burkiss Way is an early example, parodying the first film shortly after its British premiere in 1978. Star Wars [Episode IV] is announced as "The biggest thing to hit America since Gerald Ford fell out of his plane" and "more expensive than building real spaceships". | |

Monica's Gang: The comic had Star Warp (in the original Portuguese, Coelhada nas Estrelas something like "Star Rabbit-beating"), followed 11 years later by an Empire parody, O Feio Contra-Ataca (Fraydernote the title refers to the gang's usual Big Bad, Captain Fray, who plays the role of Darth Vader in this story, as "Dork Frayder" Strikes Back), and 2 years later by O Retorno de Jedito (Return of the Jedito). Then just in time for Episode VII, came the first of the prequels, A Trapaça Fantasma (The Phantom Mess-Up, as in a swindle). | |

Family Guy did Family Guy Presents: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball, a series of double-length specials that managed to cover the entire Original Trilogy. With a Take That! to the Prequel Trilogy at the end, where Peter breezily dismisses them with "Eh, I think The Cleveland Show is doing them."note Seth MacFarlane admitted that he was kidding when he said that, and he has no plans for doing the prequels. Furthermore, according to the DVD commentary for "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", they couldn't do the prequels even if they wanted to because there was too much going on in them. |

Wander over Yonder is filled with this, being a science fiction series and all. Particularly notable examples include Lord Hater’s storage station resembling the Death Star, Sylvia’s old partner Ryder being a more shady and self serving Expy of Han Solo, Dominator’s ship resembling a red and black Star Destroyer, and her minions vaguely modeled after droidekas. And that’s only the tip of the sci-fi parody iceberg. | |

Kingdom Hearts: The series has this across Master Xehanort's incarnations, but Xemnas is strikingly like a Sith Lord with dual crimson Ethereal Blades and a nearly pitch-black hooded cloak. Much like a powerful Sith Lord, he can bend the laws of physics to perform jaw-dropping feats and similar to Darth Sidious, Xemnas is only one of the host bodies that Xehanort has to simulate immortality. Vanitas portrays an Evil Counterpart version of both Sora and Ventus, being the darkness of Ventus and having the likeness of Sora. His air-tight mask and Red and Black and Evil All Over outfit conjure Darth Vader's own battle suit and mask, while his pain is used as an advantage to fuel his power to summon The Unversed. From the same game as Vanitas, Terra's character arc can best be summarized as "homage to prequel trilogy Anakin Skywalker", complete with resentment over not getting named Master in an order of magic space knights. Xehanort acts as Terra's Darth Sidious and seduces Terra to the dark side by assuring him that it is alright to dabble in dark arts. While it is indeed possible to use darkness while maintaining a disciplined outlook, Terra is being played by Xehanort and eventually suffers for it. |
