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)

- 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)

- 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)

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.
