[[Iris Wildthyme]] was cast in the third film as a woman in a gold [[bikini]] and was the only woman in the film with lines other than [[Carrie Fisher]] as [[Princess]] [[Leia (fictional character)|Leia]].

He also thought [[Peter Cushing (in-universe)|the actor]] who played [[Tarkin]] looked familiar, and seemed to remember meeting [[Susan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|his granddaughter]].

* Fitz's reference to ''Star Wars'' films being made in the 1970s and 2000s roughly pertains to the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy respectively, though in reality the last instalment of the original trilogy was produced in the early 1980s while the first of the prequel trilogy was produced in the late 1990s. This reference, made in the 2003 novel ''The Last Resort'', predates the real world production of the sequel trilogy which took place in the 2010s, but does correctly predict that a series of nine ''Star Wars'' films will have been released by the 2040s; ''[[Episode 9|Episode IX]]'' (2019) was promoted as the conclusion of the numbered ''{{iw|starwars|Skywalker Saga}}'', distinguished from other films set in the ''Star Wars'' universe.

Star Wars
You may be looking for the real world franchise or Tsar Wars.

Star Wars was a popular science fiction film series from Earth which was made in the 1970s and the 2000s, comprising a total of nine films by the 2040s. (PROSE: The Last Resort [+]Loading...["The Last Resort (novel)"])

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Sixth Doctor and Frobisher attended the American premiere of the first film at Mann's Chinese Theatre in May 1977. Frobisher appreciated the original film and was aware of its place in culture, but the Doctor claimed to prefer the Special Editions. He also thought the actor who played Tarkin looked familiar, and seemed to remember meeting his granddaughter. (PROSE: Mission: Impractical [+]Loading...["Mission: Impractical (novel)"])

Iris Wildthyme was cast in the third film as a woman in a gold bikini and was the only woman in the film with lines other than Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. According to Fisher, Iris was fun to be around but difficult behind the camera, due to her demands that she use her own wardrobe and make-up and her inability to recall her lines. Iris claimed she could convey everything with just a look, but they eventually had to recast, to her displeasure. (PROSE: Drowned in Moonlight [+]Loading...["Drowned in Moonlight (short story)"])

Henry Van Statten grew up watching Star Wars, and when he was an adult, had a vested interest in aliens, so his initial acquisition of moondust from an ammo fair was "ultimate" to him. However, he did go on to pursue ownership of alien artefacts, which was more of a challenge. (PROSE: Henry Van Statten [+]Loading...["Henry Van Statten (short story)"])

Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace was among the films which Bill Bishop watched in a Department M rehabilitation facility in 1999. (PROSE: The Danger Men [+]Loading...["The Danger Men (novel)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Nine Star Wars movies have been mentioned in Doctor Who and four have been identified as:
  • Fitz's reference to Star Wars films being made in the 1970s and 2000s roughly pertains to the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy respectively, though in reality the last instalment of the original trilogy was produced in the early 1980s while the first of the prequel trilogy was produced in the late 1990s. This reference, made in the 2003 novel The Last Resort, predates the real world production of the sequel trilogy which took place in the 2010s, but does correctly predict that a series of nine Star Wars films will have been released by the 2040s; Episode IX (2019) was promoted as the conclusion of the numbered Skywalker Saga, distinguished from other films set in the Star Wars universe.
  • The Doctor's recognition of Peter Cushing in Mission: Impractical was an in-joke referencing the fact that Cushing had played the film version of Dr. Who in the 1960s.
  • The Day of the Doctor novelisation mentions Peter Cushing appearing in movies after his death as a reference to his CGI recreation in Rogue One.
  • In A Confusion of Angels, Bill Potts, upon hearing the name of the starship Jeden, coins the phrase "Return of the Jeden", to which Nardole adds "The Last Jeden", a reference to the 1983 film Return of the Jedi and the then upcoming 2017 film The Last Jedi.
  • Steven Moffat has been nicknamed "the Moff" and "the Grand Moff" by fans as well as by Russell T Davies[1] after he took over as executive producer for Doctor Who in 2010. "Moff"/"Grand Moff" is a high military rank in the Star Wars universe.
  • Russell T Davies received an offer from George Lucas to write a story for his television spinoff series Star Wars: The Clone Wars but Davies turned it down for lack of time as well as a lack of desire to write for a sci-fi franchise he didn't build. The occasion was discussed by Davies in Chapter 4 of The Writer's Tale, the chapter subtitle of which begins "In which George Lucas is snubbed..."
  • A Dalek made a cameo appearance in the Star Wars comic strip Fett Club. Skaro, Delta Magna and Cygnus are also mentioned in the fan-produced unofficial Star Wars reference guide Book of Imperial Shuttle Plans: Cygnus Spaceworks.
  • In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Bombad Jedi", Padmé Amidala is locked up in a prison block managed by an octagonal console, which highly resembles the classic TARDIS control console. At the third episode of Andor, a room on a CIS ship looked very familiar to the Tardis console room.
  • Darth Vader appeared in a Top Gear sketch where he was pitted against other opponents including a Dalek, a Cyberman and Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor to see who the fastest "Master of the Universe" was around the Top Gear track. Vader was seen helping the Cyberman put its helmet on, and he was later exterminated when the Dalek became angry that it couldn't fit in the car.
  • On a poster in the Trap Street in Face the Raven, the Star Wars alphabet of Aurebesh is used to spell out "Delorean", which is itself a reference to Back to the Future, another popular Sci-Fi film series.
  • Robert Harvey, the sound designer and composer for Across the Darkened City, compared the Chaons from that story to Rathtars from The Force Awakens. (BFX: Across the Darkened City)
  • Sam Kent-Smith was an artist on the video game Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
  • Although this is may be coincidental, Ian MacDiarmid's portrayal of Emperor Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker bears some resemblance to that of Davros, with both being decaying, blinded, and immobile humanoids on life support machinery.
  • In the acknowledgements for All Flesh in Glass, Una McCormack mentions her daughter Verity, "who prefers Star Wars".
  • The opening title card of the 2021 TV episode Revolution of the Daleks ("A LONG TIME AGO... FAR, FAR AWAY...") is a reference to the famous Star Wars opening title, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...".
  • Matt Smith was originally going to have a role in The Rise of Skywalker, but it wound up being dropped from the script.
