Star Wars could refer either to the science fantasy film of the same name or to its sequels. In 1977, the Doctor and Frobisher attended the premiere of Star Wars on the big screen at Mann's Chinese Theatre. The Doctor claimed to prefer the Special Editions, and noted that Grand Moff Tarkin looked familiar to him. (PDA: Mission: Impractical)
Minor references
- 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. (DW: Survival)
- Sam Jones had Star Wars toys as a child. (EDA: Alien Bodies)
- The Doctor told Martha Jones that Jar Jar Binks' clan were "...good people...very hospitable." (TDA: Forever Autumn)
- Both Mr 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 possibly meant this as a humorous reference to Luke's first name.
- At the end of a holographic communication left to Jack Harkness, fellow Time Agent John Hart mockingly re-created the "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" line from A New Hope. (TW: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)
- Donna Noble described the UNIT soldiers as "Stormtroopers". (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem)
- In Family Guys Star Wars spoof, Blue Harvest, after Han Solo (Peter Griffin) plunges the Millenium Falcon into hyperspace he claims hyperspace to look "real creepy". The camera then zooms out to reveal the Time Vortex along with the Doctor Who theme music and the Fourth Doctor's head.
Behind the Scenes
- The duel on the Sycorax asteroid in 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 Doctor in this case) loses a hand and the weapon holding 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.
