10 Best Times Star Wars Appeared In Other TV Shows
6. The Office
The American version of The Office rarely relied on pop-culture references for a quick and easy laugh, but on occasion, Scranton's finest did indeed mention various movies and TV shows in conversation, with Star Wars being one of the properties that was brought up most often.
Star Wars, in a small way, was actually one of the things that contributed to Michael Scott's decision to leave Dunder Mifflin in season seven, which he did in order to be with the love of his life, Holly Flax. One of the pair's very first interactions was in the season four finale, where Michael realises she's "the one" when she talks to him with a Yoda voice: "Pass curvy metal piece, you will."
The Office's funniest Star Wars shoutout though is in the season two episode Halloween, where Dwight dresses up like a Sith Lord, complete with a red lightsaber.
Later, in a conversation where he tries to convince Michael not to fire him, Dwight is shot with a side profile that's a clear homage to how Palpatine is often framed in Star Wars, an inspired creative decision that makes the scene roughly 66 times funnier.
