- You may be looking for in-universe references to Star Wars.
Star Wars is a multimedia franchise created by George Lucas which began on 12 November 1976 with the novelisation of the original Star Wars film, later referred to as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, despite the film being released on 25 May 1977. The franchise is owned by Lucasfilm Ltd, who have since been aquired by the Walt Disney Company.
Crossovers[[edit] | [edit source]]
Although the two series do not often cross paths officially, they have nevertheless had a few stories with elements of the Star Wars universe bleeding into Doctor Who and its expanded universe.
Perhaps the most significant of these connections was the appearances of C.Y.R.I.L., a fictional editor for Marvel UK's Star Wars magazines, in the Doctor Who Magazine comic stories Once Upon a Time-Lord [+]Loading...["Once Upon a Time-Lord (comic story)"] and Time & Time Again [+]Loading...["Time & Time Again (comic story)"].
Much later, in the 2015 Disney XD promotional video Breaking News! That Hasn't Broken Yet! [+]Loading...["Breaking News! That Hasn't Broken Yet! (TV story)"], an official reference was made to a "Star Wars Rebels event" - that turning out to be The Siege of Lothal - which would be releasing that summer, alongside reference to Doctor Who's upcoming appearance on the channel.
References to Star Wars in the DWU[[edit] | [edit source]]
Much more often than the above official crossovers are unofficial references and appearances by elements of the Star Wars universe in the Doctor Who universe. These range from in-universe references where the subjects seem to "really exist" in the Doctor Who universe, to out-of-universe references to the Star Wars series as fiction. Some of these references were officially noted in the doctorwho.tv article "The Star Wars References You Missed in Doctor Who".[1]
In the Doctor Who Magazine comic story Party Animals [+]Loading...["Party Animals (comic story)"], among the several cameos of different characters, Marvel-owned or not, Darth Vader appeared as an attendee at Bonjaxx's birthday party, talking with a Ferengi. This was colourised in The Incomplete Death's Head #12.
In the Doctor Who season 26 TV story Survival [+]Loading...["Survival (TV story)"], Ace learns from Ange that their mutual friend Flo married a "brain-dead plumber" whom they had nicknamed "Darth Vader", a further reference to the character.
Shistavanens are shown to exist in the Whoniverse in PROSE: Placebo Effect [+]Loading...["Placebo Effect (novel)"].
In the BBC New Series Adventures novel Forever Autumn [+]Loading...["Forever Autumn (novel)"], the Tenth Doctor tells Martha Jones that Jar Jar Binks's clan were "...good people...very hospitable."
In the series 5 minisode Meanwhile in the TARDIS [+]Loading...["Meanwhile in the TARDIS (home video)"], the Doctor compares himself to Yoda, who he refers to as "the little green one in Star Wars".
A child appears cosplaying as Boba Fett in the 2015 Convention Special, in the comic story Selfie [+]Loading...["Selfie (comic story)"]. Another individual cosplaying as the character appears in the Reeltime Pictures home video Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor [+]Loading...["Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor (home video)"], albeit without the helmet.
On a poster in the Trap Street in Face the Raven [+]Loading...["Face the Raven (TV story)"], 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.
In the audio story Shockwave [+]Loading...["Shockwave (TWM audio story)"], Narvin tells Livia that his grain stores are infested with womp rats.

References to the DWU in Star Wars[[edit] | [edit source]]
A Dalek makes a cameo appearance in the Star Wars Tales comic strip Fett Club.
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. In the third episode of Andor, a room on a CIS ship looks very similar to the TARDIS console room.
