10 Worst Times Star Wars Appeared In Other Movies

As the much-loved space opera series has taught its passionate fandom time and time again over the decades, sometimes a hero must dig down deep in order to summon up the strength needed to save the day... or entire galaxy in some cases.

Taking said sentiment perhaps a little too literally, though, Eddie Murphy's 2000 follow-up to the smash-hit remake that was The Nutty Professor, decided to release its own take on the Force a year or so on from the Prequel return of George Lucas' unstoppable franchise.

As Professor Sherman Klump finds himself dozing off on the couch mid late-night movie, the leading light soon winds up in a nightmare Armageddon-esque scenario involving him trying to plant nukes in the centre of an asteroid on a collision course with Planet Earth.

With the limp sequel being determined to fold as many pop culture sci-fi winks into the mix as humanly possible for the laughs, Sherman is soon met with a Force Ghost appearance from his paps and the advice of using "a Force deep down inside you" to fire him towards the detonation button needed to complete the mission.

And what do you know, the Force was very much strong... with Sherman's flatulence.

Though the same most definitely could not be said for this lame, gas-infused attempt to take the p*ss out of all things Star Wars.
