10 Best Times Star Wars Appeared In Other TV Shows
1. Family Guy
When you think of Star Wars references in pop-culture, Family Guy is one of the very first things that comes to mind.
Not only are there countless Star Wars references throughout the regular show, but Seth MacFarlane and his team even produced a trio of specials parodying the original Star Wars trilogy: Blue Harvest (A New Hope), Something, Something, Something, Dark Side (The Empire Strikes Back), and It's A Trap! (Return of the Jedi).
Each of these episodes loosely retells the story of its respective Star Wars movie, with the Family Guy characters playing various Star Wars roles - including Peter Griffin as Han Solo, and Stewie as Darth Vader.
Elsewhere, there are some truly outrageous Star Wars callouts in normal Family Guy episodes, including Peter telling Chris about his great, great, great uncle Jabba the Griffin (complete with the unforgettable phrase "Wookiee nipple pinchy"), and Darth Vader writing parking tickets in a season five cutaway gag.
Our favourite though is definitely in the third season episode When You Wish Upon A Weinstein, where Obi-Wan Kenobi instructs Luke Skywalker to "use the Force" while conducting laser eye surgery - only for the young Jedi to send his lightsaber sinking into his patient's eye. Best stick to bullseyeing womp rats in your T-16, eh Luke?
