'''''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]]: {{cs|The Last Resort (novel)}})

== History ==
*The [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth Doctor]] and [[Frobisher]] attended the American premiere of the first film at [[Mann's Chinese Theatre]] in May [[1977]]. In the 1990s, the series' creator, George Lucas, reedited the first three films and added special effects, a move that was controversial with some fans, though the Doctor claimed to prefer the Special Editions. He also thought actor [[Peter Cushing]] (who played Grand Moff Tarkin in the first film, ''A New Hope'') looked familiar, and seemed to remember meeting his granddaughter. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Mission: Impractical]]'')
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 Edition]]s. 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]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mission: Impractical (novel)}})
* Returned to her old haunts in [[Perivale]], [[Ace]] learned from [[Ange]] that their mutual friend [[Flo]] married a "brain-dead plumber" they had nicknamed ''Darth Vader'' (after one of villains from the ''Star Wars'' series). ([[DW]]: ''[[Survival]]'')
* [[Sam Jones]] had ''Star Wars'' toys as a child. ([[EDA]]: ''[[Alien Bodies]]'')
* The [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth Doctor]] told [[Martha Jones]] that [[Jar Jar Binks]]' clan were "...good people...very hospitable." ([[NSA]]: ''[[Forever Autumn]]'')
* Both Mr [[Mark Grantham|Grantham]] and [[Clyde Langer]] made reference to the series, the latter comparing himself to [[Luke Smith]]'s mentor, like ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Warriors of Kudlak]]'')
*Clyde called Luke his "young padawan", when stating he had much to learn about humour. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Prisoner of the Judoon]]'')
* Clyde said that he did a school history project on the [[Battle of Waterloo]] because his teacher had not allowed him to do one on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Hoth Battle of Hoth]. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran]]'')
* At the end of a [[hologram|holographic]] communication left to [[Jack Harkness]], another [[Time Agent]], [[John Hart]] mockingly re-created the "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" line from [[Wikipedia:Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|the first film]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'')
*The [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth Doctor]] once said that ventilation ducts never seemed to work out as a means of escape, just like in ''Star Wars''. ([[DW]]: ''[[Dreamland (TV story)|Dreamland]]'')


==Behind the scenes==
[[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]] [[Princess Leia|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]]: {{cs|Drowned in Moonlight (short story)}})
* The space suit costumes worn by [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Zoe Heriot|Zoe]] in [[DW]]: ''[[The Wheel in Space]]'' was later re-used in the original trilogy (most noticeably by Bossk the Bounty Hunter).
* The Doctor's recognition of [[Peter Cushing]] in [[PDA]]: ''[[Mission: Impractical]]'' was an in-joke referencing the fact that Cushing had played the film version of [[Dr. Who (Dalek movies)|Dr. Who]] in the 1960s.
*  [[Dave Prowse]], who had a small role in [[DW]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'' played the body (though not the voice) of Darth Vader in the first three films.
*The duel on the [[Sycorax]] asteroid in [[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'' may take some cues the duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In both scenes, the hero (the [[Tenth Doctor]] in this case) loses a hand and the weapon held in it. Later, the destruction of the Sycorax asteroid by the [[Jathaa]] weaponry is similar to the Death Star's destruction of Alderaan in ''A New Hope''. The Valiant had similar weaponry in [[DW]]: ''[[The Poison Sky]]''.
*The [[Face of Boe]]'s final words to the Doctor: "You are not alone" are similar to Yoda's final words to Luke Skywalker: "There is another Skywalker".
*In ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'', the Doctor tries to redeem the Master rather than kill him. This is similar to Luke Skywalker trying to redeem Darth Vader rather than kill him.
*The funeral pyre scene in'' Last of the Time Lords ''is very similar to the funeral pyre scene in ''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.''
*The villain [[Davros]] is very similar to Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious (though, since Davros' first appearance predates Emperor Palpatine's by almost a decade, the resemblance is at least unintentional, at most from the opposite direction). They are both evil galactic emperors with hideously scarred wrinkly faces who can attack people by firing lightning from their fingertips. They also have similar voices.
*The Dalek Crucible is similar to the Death Star.
*''Star Wars'' creator George Lucas is an avid fan of the original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' series. {{fact}}
*Actor [[Wikipedia:Harrison Ford|Harrison Ford]] ([[Wikipedia:Han Solo|Han Solo]]) was offered the role of the [[Eighth Doctor]] in [[Doctor Who (1996)|the 1996 ''Doctor Who'' television movie]] but turned it down rather than have a television commitment tie him down. (At the time, the movie's producers hoped to make it the pilot for a re-launched ''Doctor Who'' series.) {{fact}}
*In ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', the Master turns good and sacrifices himself to save the Doctor. That scene is like the scene in ''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'' when Darth Vader turns good and sacrifices himself to save Luke Skywalker.
* The alien bar scene in ''The End of Time'' is very similar to the Mos Eisley Cantina scene in ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope''.
* The reference in [[NSA]]: ''[[Forever Autumn]]'' to [[Jar Jar Binks]] he is in fact a part of the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]], and not just a reference from a film.
* The fight scene between the Spitfires and the [[Dalek Saucer]] in [[DW]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'' is remenisent of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Yavin The Battle of Yavin] from [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_IV:_A_New_Hope Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]
* It is rumoured that the end of Episode 7 of [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]] will be very similar to [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empire_Strikes_Back Episode V].
* In [[Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale|A Writer's Tale,]] Davies was offered by Star Wars Writer George Lucas to write a story for the popular spin off series Star Wars: The Clone Wars but Davies turned it down.

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

== Behind the scenes ==
* Nine ''Star Wars'' movies have been mentioned in ''Doctor Who'' and four have been identified as:
**''[[Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace]]''
** ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''
** ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', shortened as "''Jedi''".
** "[[Episode 9]]" (predicted before ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker|The Rise of Skywalker]]'')
* 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.
* The Doctor's recognition of [[Peter Cushing]] in ''[[Mission: Impractical (novel)|Mission: Impractical]]'' was an in-joke referencing the fact that Cushing had played the film version of [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Dr. Who]] in the 1960s.
* ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' novelisation mentions [[Peter Cushing]] appearing in movies after his death as a reference to his CGI recreation in ''[[starwars:Rogue One|Rogue One]]''.
* In ''[[A Confusion of Angels (comic story)|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 ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|Return of the Jedi]]'' and the then upcoming 2017 film ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi|The Last Jedi]]''.
* [[Steven Moffat]] has been nicknamed "the Moff" and "the Grand Moff" by fans as well as by [[Russell T Davies]]<ref>[[Russell T Davies]], ''[[The Writer's Tale]]''</ref> after he took over as executive producer for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in 2010. "[[starwars:Moff|Moff]]"/"[[starwars:Grand 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 ''[[starwars:Fett Club|Fett Club]]''. [[Skaro]], [[Delta Magna]] and [[Cygnus]] are also mentioned in the fan-produced unofficial ''Star Wars'' reference guide ''{{iw|Book of Imperial Shuttle Plans| Cygnus Spaceworks|Book of Imperial Shuttle Plans: Cygnus Spaceworks}}''.
* In the ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' episode "[[starwars:Bombad Jedi|Bombad Jedi]]", [[starwars:Padmé Amidala|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 [[starwars:Andor (television series)|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 (Mondas)|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, London|Trap Street]] in ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|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 design]]er and [[composer]] for ''[[Across the Darkened City (audio story)|Across the Darkened City]]'', compared the [[Chaon]]s from that story to [[starwars:Rathtar|Rathtar]]s from ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens|The Force Awakens]]''. ([[BFX]]: ''Across the Darkened City'')
* [[Sam Kent-Smith]] was an artist on the video game ''[[starwars:Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron|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 is Grass (novel)|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 (TV story)|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.
 
=== Props ===
* The space suit costumes worn by [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Zoe Heriot|Zoe]] in ''[[The Wheel in Space (TV story)|The Wheel in Space]]'' was later re-used in the original trilogy (most noticeably by [[starwars:Bossk|Bossk the Bounty Hunter]]). Similar costumes (which were re-purposed High-Altitude Windak Pressure Suits that had been used by the RAF during the 1960s) had previously appeared in ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]''.
* ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Behind the Magic|Behind the Magic]]'' showed an "early blaster prototype" reusing one of the ballistic weapons of the Daleks from ''[[Death to the Daleks (TV story)|Death to the Daleks]]''. The muffle was later reused for [[starwars:Ponda Baba|Ponda Baba]]'s custom [[starwars:DL-21 blaster pistol|DL-21 blaster pistol]] prop which itself was reused for soldiers in ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back|Empire Strikes Back]]''.
* The antique prop picked up by Romana I from an altar in episode 2 of ''[[The Power of Kroll (TV story)|The Power of Kroll]]'' was reused for the [[starwars:Gaderffii|Gaderffii]]''.

=== ''Star Wars'' happened ===
* In the [[BBC New Series Adventures]] novel ''[[Forever Autumn (novel)|Forever Autumn]]'', the [[Tenth Doctor]] states that Jar Jar Binks and his clan are good people, that George Lucas received telepathic messages and mistook them for his own ideas, and that he would be "''way'' off the mark" by [[Episode 9]], implying that some (if not all) of ''Star Wars'' is real. Although Lucas did not end up making the film, there was an Episode IX made and released into theaters in 2019, validating the Doctor's claims, and indeed the final trilogy deviated significantly from original story plans devised by Lucas.
* In ''[[Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)|Supremacy of the Cybermen]]'' the Ninth Doctor claims the TARDIS made the [[Kessel Run]].
* Though it may be coincidental, the ''[[starwars:Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series)|Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' episode "[[starwars:Ghosts of Mortis|Ghosts of Mortis]]" has [[starwars:Father (Mortis)|the Father]] mention the [[Laws of Time]].

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)"])

Both Mr Grantham and Clyde Langer made reference to the series, the latter comparing himself to Luke Smith's mentor, like Obi-Wan Kenobi. (TV: Warriors of Kudlak [+]Loading...["Warriors of Kudlak (TV story)"])

Clyde called Luke his "young padawan", when stating he had much to learn about humour. (TV: Prisoner of the Judoon [+]Loading...["Prisoner of the Judoon (TV story)"]) Clyde said that he did a school history project on the Battle of Waterloo because his teacher had not allowed him to do one on the Battle of Hoth.

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.
