Though it's only brought up once or twice throughout Friends, it's clear that Ross Geller is a massive fan of Star Wars, with his cousin even mentioning that she saw him camping in line to see Return of the Jedi.

Like a lot of Star Wars fans his age, Ross also has a bit of a thing for Princess Leia in her golden bikini, which led to a funny Star Wars reference - the best one in the entire show - in the season three opener.

That iconic costume was famously worn by Leia when she was captured by Jabba the Hutt in Episode VI. In Friends, Ross brings it up when Rachel asks him about his biggest sexual fantasy, and at the end of the episode, she puts on the golden garb herself - complete with a Leia-style hairdo - while Ross excitedly hums the main Star Wars theme.

Unfortunately, Chandler had previously told Ross that he sometimes, inadvertently, pictures his own mother's face during sex. Remembering this conversation, Ross' Leia fantasy is ruined when Rachel morphs into his mum before his very eyes, which stops the bedroom magic dead in its tracks.
