- Mr. Burns is sometimes introduced in certain episodes (like in "A Star Is Burns" and in "Marge Gets a Job") while the "Imperial March" music associated with Star Wars villain Darth Vader plays in the background.
- In "Old Money" Darth Vader is one of the people waiting in line to ask Abraham Simpson for money.
- In "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.
- In "Lisa's Rival" Ralph Wiggum wins a diorama contest simply because he put some packaged Star Wars action figures, including Chewbacca, Luke and Obi-Wan, in a box. Principal Skinner turns out to be a big Star Wars fan and names him the winner.
- Chewbacca is one of the aliens in the police line-up in "The Springfield Files".
- In "'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.)
- Mark Hamill (who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series) guest starred in the episode "Mayored to the Mob". In the episode he is forced to continue playing his famous role and sing a song called "Luke, be a Jedi Tonight" in a parody of "Luck be a Lady Tonight" by Frank Sinatra. While Homer is fighting Luke advises him to "use the forks" in a parody of "use the force" from the Star Wars films. On an advert for the sci-fi convention, C-3PO and R2-D2 are described as "the gay robots from Star Wars".
- In the beginning of "Lisa the Beauty Queen," the man that makes Lisa's caricature has on display a caricature of Darth Vader in a bathing suit surfing. Later in the episode when Lisa tries different hair styles she tries the classic Princess Leia hair.
- In "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", probably confusing Star Trek with Star Wars.
- Yoda performs the leprechaun and gypsy's wedding ceremony in "Treehouse of Horror XII".
- In "Bart Has Two Mommies," Marge makes a Darth Vader mask and claims to be "Star Wars".
- In "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 Mrs. Krabappel in a sci-fi convention, where we can see three fans wearing Star Wars costumes: Chewbacca, C-3PO and Darth Vader.
- In the beginning of "The Springfield Connection," Homer and Marge are watching a concert and the song played is the Main Theme from all six Star Wars episodes. Homer also make a reference to John Williams (composer of the music in Star Wars), saying that he's dead, which is not true.
- At the end of "Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Three Times", the episode is dedicated to everyone who died in the Star Wars films.
- In the Couch gag of "Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes", The Simpson's get froze into Carbonite, and Boba Fett carries them away.
