Episodes

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference 1 5 "Bart the General" Among Bart's list of "cool wars" are the U.S. War of Independence, World War II and Star Wars. 2 16 "Treehouse of Horror" As Lisa snoops around the ship, the ship and music bring to mind the halls of the Death Star, and Luke Skywalker's theme from Star Wars: A New Hope. 30 "Old Money" Darth Vader (or an actor playing him) is one of the people waiting in line to ask Abraham Simpson for money. 3 47 "I Married Marge" Homer and Marge leave a film theater in 1980 after a showing of The Empire Strikes Back. Homer notes: "Who would have known that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father?", annoying the crowd behind him, still waiting in line to see the film. He later calls Marge as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda. 4 63 "Lisa the Beauty Queen" The man that makes Lisa's caricature has on display a caricature of Darth Vader in a bathing suit and surfing. When Lisa tries different hair styles, one of the hairdos she tries is Princess Leia's. 71 "Marge vs. the Monorail" After Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock from Star Trek) speaks at the maiden voyage of the monorail, Mayor Quimby says "May the Force be with you", confusing Star Trek with Star Wars. 66 "Marge Gets a Job" Mr. Burns is sometimes introduced while the "Imperial March" music, associated with Star Wars villain Darth Vader, plays in the background. 6 121 "A Star Is Burns" 105 "Lisa's Rival" Ralph Wiggum wins a diorama contest by simply putting some packaged Star Wars action figures, including Chewbacca, Luke and Obi-Wan, into a box. Principal Skinner turns out to be a big Star Wars fan - naming "Chewy" his favorite - and declares Ralph the winner. 125 "'Round Springfield" Darth Vader is one of the characters appearing in the sky to talk to Lisa. (The other two are Mufasa from The Lion King and James Earl Jones saying: "This is CNN". The voices of Darth Vader, Mufasa and the CNN voiceover were originally all done by actor Jones. He has guest-starred on the show three times; however, on this occasion the voices are provided by Harry Shearer.) 126 "The Springfield Connection" Homer and Marge are attending a concert and the song played is the Main Theme from all six Star Wars episodes. Homer dislikes the performance and states: "John Williams must be rolling in his grave". In reality Williams (composer of the music in Star Wars) is still alive. 8 157 "Burns, Baby Burns" A Darth Vader-like mask is seen in the Springfield Costume Shop 163 "The Springfield Files" Chewbacca is one of the aliens in the police line-up. He is later seen singing "Good Morning Starshine" with the rest of Springfield. 9 193 "The Last Temptation of Krust" Java the Hut is a reference to Jabba the Hutt. 196 "This Little Wiggy" The logo on the "Mars" part of the Knowledgeum uses the same font as in the Star Wars logo. 10 206 "Bart the Mother" One of the prizes available to be won in the arcade is an X-Wing toy. 212 "Mayored to the Mob" There are multiple references to Star Wars in the episode: Mark Hamill (who plays Luke Skywalker in the film series) guest-stars as himself. He speaks at the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con and later stars as Nathan Detroit in a local production of the musical Guys and Dolls. To his dismay, Hamill is forced to play the part as Luke Skywalker and sing a song called "Luke, Be a Jedi", a parody of "Luck be a Lady Tonight". In an advertisement for the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con, C-3PO and R2-D2 are described as "the gay robots from Star Wars" and shown in a tag-team wrestling match with two Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. One of the attendees at the 'Con is costumed as a Rebel soldier (from The Empire Strikes Back) riding a Tauntaun. When Homer fights Louie, Hamill advises him to "Use the forks!", a pun on the tagline "Use the Force" from the Star Wars films. 213 "Viva Ned Flanders" Comic Book Guy has a bumper sticker which says "My other car is the Millenium Falcon", given to him by a Harrison Ford look-alike. 11 229 "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" The famous Hildebrandt Brothers Star Wars poster of Princess Leia, Luke and his outstretched lightsaber is seen at Planet Springfield. 230 "Treehouse of Horror X" The Collector asks Lucy Lawless to call him Obi-Wan. He then battles her using Darth Maul's lightsaber after taking it out of its box. 231 "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)" Among the other films playing at the Springfield Googolplex Theatres is My Dinner with Jar Jar, a pun on the film My Dinner with André and a reference to Jar Jar Binks. 247 "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge" Patty says to Lisa, "the bitterness is strong in this one", a reference to the line "the Force is strong in this one". 12 259 "Worst Episode Ever" Martha Prince shows Comic Book Guy a box containing Star Wars memorabilia, including a handwritten script for Star Wars by George Lucas, Princess Leia's anti-jiggle breast tape, and a film reel labeled "Alternate ending: Luke's Father is Chewbacca". Comic Book Guy, exploiting the fact that Martha is ignorant of the items' worth, offers five dollars, but Bart and Milhouse warn her that he's ripping her off. 13 270 "Treehouse of Horror XII" Yoda performs the wedding ceremony when the Leprechaun and the Gypsy get married. 276 "Brawl in the Family" When the family are forced to stay indoors because of acid rain, they play Monopoly, and one of the versions of the game they own is Star Wars Monopoly. 279 "Half-Decent Proposal" Comic Book Guy's bedroom is bristling with Star Wars items, including a picture of Yoda, signed portraits of Mark Hamill in both Star Wars: A New Hope and Return of the Jedi outfits, Star Wars bedding, Chewbacca pajamas, and a Jar Jar Binks doll which he clutches in bed and tells "Oh Jar Jar, everyone hates you but me." 286 "Gump Roast" Julius Hibbert is arrested for wearing a Darth Vader costume, thus violating a local ordinance against impersonating movie characters. Also, the Imperial March plays when Mr. Burns is introduced on stage during the roast of Homer Simpson. 291 "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge" Homer says: "I've trick or treated at many of your homes. Last year I was Jar Jar Binks." 14 306 "C.E. D'oh" While Homer tries to figure out how to take over the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, he starts marking down all the hazards as Lenny and Carl begin fighting with radioactive Plutonium rods, using them like lightsabers (complete with sound effects). Lenny proclaims, "The Phantom Menace sucked more!" While Carl argues, "Attack of the Clones sucked more!" 15 314 "Treehouse of Horror XIV" In the "Frinkenstein" segment, Comic Book Guy tells Jonathan Frink, Sr. that he can keep his butt, but he wants him to return his Jabba the Butt tattoo. In the "Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off" segment, Comic Book Guy chases after Bart and Milhouse, and later Martin, with a lightsaber. 317 "The Regina Monologues" In Bart's fantasy, he fantasizes about R2-D2 playing the bass. 328 "Co-Dependent's Day" The series Cosmic Wars is a parody of Star Wars.

A Yoda parody is seen. Randall Curtis is a parody of George Lucas. A Stormtrooper and a Princess Leia parody are seen in the Cosmic Wars Ranch. 330 "My Big Fat Geek Wedding" The Simpsons family tries to stop Comic Book Guy's Klingon wedding (in this case a Star Trek reference) with Edna Krabappel at a Sci-Fi convention, where we can see three fans wearing Star Wars costumes: Chewbacca, C-3PO and Darth Vader.

Don Payne is credited as "Darth Pain". 366 "Homer's Paternity Coot" Ralph says that he is C3-D2, referencing both C-3PO and R2-D2. 370 "Bart Has Two Mommies" Marge makes a Darth Vader mask and claims to be "Star Wars". 18 381 "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em" Bart and Principal Skinner have a fight, parodying the lighsaber duels in Star Wars. Bart's weapon is a peanut on a stick and Skinner's is a shrimp on a stick (taking advantage of each other's allergies). As they duel, the music playing is "Duel of the Fates", a recurring song used in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. 389 "Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Three Times" The episode is dedicated to everyone who died in the Star Wars films. Darth Vader Darth Maul Greedo Uncle Owen Storm Trooper Number 5 Jango Fett General Grievous (DROID) Storm Trooper Number 22 Dak Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi Whoever Jimmy Smits Played Hutt, Jabba the Sy Snoodles Unfortunately, Not Jar-Jar Binks Everyone On Both Death Stars When They Blew up 390 "Little Big Girl" The Springfield Multicultural Center has a picture of Darth Vader's helmet on the wall. 491 "Homerazzi" Homer has a cologne bottle called Scent of a Wookiee.

This is a reference to many fans of Star Wars disliking the prequel trilogy. The film is also a reference to the unreleased seventh Star Wars film. 540 "Married to the Blob" Cosmic Wars: The Crucifixion of Jim Jam Bonks is an audio book and a reference to how many fans hated Jar Jar Binks, featuring the character Jim-Jam Bonks. 548 "Days of Future Future" When the bullies are attempting to mug Lisa and Milhouse, Jimbo pulls out a miniature red lightsaber.

Several attractions were at Dizz-Nee Land, including Jim-Jam Bonk's Wild Ride and Jabba the Tiki Hut. Yoda also made an appearance.

When wampa-Homer comes to attack them, Bart uses the force to grab the light saber and cut its hand. This scene is a reference to the scene in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke Skywalker, to save himself from the wampa, grabs the light saber with the force and cuts its hand with it, just like Bart. At the church, on the way back to Springfield, the wind caused by them passing by removes the letters from the marquee, making it "New Star Wars".
