South Park has made a mockery of just about everything in the pop-culture sphere since starting in the late 1990s, so it's really no surprise that Trey Parker and Matt Stone's adult animation has taken aim at Star Wars on several occasions.

From Randy Marsh's Darth Vader scream of "NOOOOOOOO" in season 15's The Last of the Meheecans, to the ridiculous "Chewbacca defense" in season two's Chef Aid, George Lucas' brainchild has been roasted to Mustafar and back by the potty-mouthed South Park gang.

A particularly notable reference occurs in the tenth season premiere The Return of Chef, where Chef falls from a bridge to his apparent death. He's then restored in a sequence that's reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith, and just in case the reference wasn't clear enough, Chef is ultimately stuffed inside a Vader suit, complete with that iconic breathing sound.

Brilliantly, Darth Chef is even voiced by Peter Serafinowicz, who lent his pipes to Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. Well played, South Park. Well played.
