10 Best Times Star Wars Appeared In Other Movies

9. Superbad

Raunchy teen comedy Superbad isn't exactly somewhere you'd expect Star Wars to appear, but the movie does have a couple of hilarious nods to the sci-fi franchise throughout its runtime.

These mostly come from Seth Rogen and Bill Hader's buddy-cop duo, who frequently mention Star Wars after picking up McLovin from the convenience store.

During their subsequent car journey, these cops - Slater and Michaels - start talking about Attack of the Clones, with Slater saying that "the Force is strong" with his rookie partner, before breaking out into a surprisingly convincing Yoda impression, and calling Michaels his Padawan.

Later, Slater and Michaels start using their torches like lightsabers, battling one another while adding their own sound effects. Slater then pulls out a Palpatine impression from his repertoire, before proceeding to run down Jonah Hill's character with his car, a fittingly evil act for the dastardly Sith lord.

Star Wars humour may be a cheap way to draw a laugh, but Superbad executes these jokes so well that we can't really complain.
