10 Worst Times Star Wars Appeared In Other Movies

Providing a sequence that well and truly choked in more ways than one, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian included an attempt to poke further fun at the galaxy's biggest bad.

With Hank Azaria's brought back to life big bad Kahmunrah inevitably turning his attention to ruling the world, two notable pop culture antagonists calling the Smithsonian home opt to offer up their services to the sequel's feature villain.

Alongside Sesame Street's Oscar the Grouch, none other than Darth Vader himself decides to join the bad fight against Larry Daley, the night security guard. And this failed bid to convince Kahmunrah the duo are up to the task soon leads to a deeply unfunny sequence depicting the powerless exhibit Dark Lord trying to Force choke a less than impressed pharaoh.

Not content with merely laughing off Vader's ineffective hand gestures, though, Kahmunrah then proceeds to stab holes in the all-round aesthetic of the legendary presence, stating there's just "too much going on".

Throwaway beat of bizarre slapstick or not, seeing the iconic Star Wars figure be classed as an "asthmatic robot" who looks like he's dressed for the opera felt like little more than a cheap way to squeeze a few more famous faces beats into the bloated mix.
