Star Wars references in other movies — Page 2

If we're counting TV shows aswell:

Futurama - Has several refrences. Things like "The Near-Death Star" and the giant worm thing from ESB popping out of an asteroid.

Simpsons - Countless refrences.

Robot Chicken - In one episode, it shows the scene where Darth Vader tells Luke he's his father. Then, he tells luke that Leia is his Sister. Then he tells Luke that the Empire will be defeated by Ewoks, and at this point Luke is so annoyed by his lying that he just walks away. There are a few others in that show aswell.

Family Guy - Again, so many refrences... It's hard to count/remember them all.

Clerks (the cartoon) - It's from Kevin Smith. Many Star Wars refrences.

And... my personal favorite:

Undergrads - Gimpy, one of the four main characters, is obsessed with Star Wars and has a huge collection and often makes comments related to Star Wars.


There are more, I'm sure. But I can't think of any right now off the top of my head.

Indiana Jones has more than the heiroglyphics already mentioned. At the start of Raiders Indy escapes on a plane with the serial number OB-1 or C-PO, can't remember which but it's something like that, and then in Temple of Doom the club is called Club Obi-Wan.

ferris Bueller's day off - when they borrow the Ferrari and drive over a bump at high speed there's a slow-mo shot of the underside of the vehicle entering the screen like the Star Destroyer at the beginning of ANH. I think the Star Wars music even plays, but I can't remember.

A recent issue of Time Magazine focusing on Star Wars had a timeline that said that the earliest crossover reference to SW was in 1985 in the movie Cocoon when Steve Gutenberg says "May the Force be with you" to the aliens that came down to Earth.
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia'."

Why Anakin really turned to the dark side:
"Anakin, You're father I am" - Yoda
"No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!" - Anakin

The start of Airplane 2 has a piss-take on the Star Wars opening crawl.

Robots: The robot that needs a new voice box picks up one that gives him Vader's voice.

Well they've got their facts wrong then because "Raiders" was 1981 and E.T. was 1982.

Luke considers a new job...laser-based vision correction surgery.

Page 1, someone mentioned Worlds of Warcraft. Warcraft 3 as well:
Goblin Zepplin: "You worry about the towers, I'll worry about the mini map."
Blood Mage: "I find your insolence... disturbing."
Gyrocoptor: "Stay on target!"
Gyrocoptor: "It came...from...behind." (Death sound)
Warden: "He's no good to me if he's dead."
Dryad: "I'm not the Dryad you're looking for."
Shadow Hunter: "Humans. Dey' tink dey' know everytin'."
Acolyte: "Once you head down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny... And you get dental."

starkiller, isn't there another Family Guy episode where Peter mentions something about betting his Star Wars collection and how he "never takes a chance with the Fett man."

Yes.

And there is ANOTHER episode where we see Boba Fett. Peter grows a beard and an endangered bird nests in it. It flies away, leaving 3 chicks. Lois points out that there are 3 of them, just like their kids and Peter imagines it (each chick is shown in turn, superimposing a kids face over its head).
First chick -> Chris
Second chick -> Stewie
Third chick -> Peter cannot remember Meg, so instead we see a Boba Fett helmet appear and Peter says "Sweet."

Its classic comedy...the Triple.

Not the throne room scene, it was the ceremony scene from the end of ANH and it was the third episode of this brand new season. It featured Chewie, Threepio, and Artoo.

Has anyone ever seen Adam & Joe's programmes. It has a lot of star wars references.
