10 Worst Times Star Wars Appeared In Other Movies

9. Solid Gold Death Stars - Futurama: Bender's Big Score

Nothing says big dumb climactic animated space battle quite like the sight of numerous solid gold Death Stars orbiting Planet Earth, am I right?

With the villainous scammers found terrorising the gang throughout the Futurama TV movie that was Bender's Big Score tricking President Richard Nixon into selling them the globe, the slimy group opt to create a rather familiar defence system; with a hilarious twist, of course.

Kitting out their defences with an entire fleet of Death Stars, boasting enough superweapons to make Emperor Palpatine crack an unsettling smile, wasn't enough for the slippery antagonists, though. Sure enough, each and every Death Star knock off turns out to be made entirely of gold and various diamonds, too.

Oh, and they're also all remote controlled as a way to shoe-horn in the tired "villains treating the battle like one big game" gag.

Luckily, these particular shameless Star Wars cameos are destroyed in next to no time at all, with Leela and the rest of Earth's forces making light work of the space station fleet thanks to some Hermes head-in-a-jar intervention.

But that still doesn't change the fact that this particular joke was clearly no moon... and it wasn't as funny as the folks behind the Big Score likely thought it was either.
