* An episode of ''{{That 70s Show}}'' was set when ''StarWars'' ' was first in theaters (It wouldn't become 'ANewHope'' until years later). Eric worries about losing Donna to another guy, resulting in a dream sequence that puts the cast in ''Star Wars''. The best part is Red as Obi-Wan: "Jedi Knight? More like Jedi [[CatchPhrase dumbass]]."(As a result it became one of Eric's defining gags.)

* ''ShinChan'' did this.
** The English dub added more in-jokes.

* There's a scene in ''ReignOfFire'' where some of the survivors in a PostApocalyptic world with little left in the way of entertainment act out Star Wars to entertain the kids.

* ''RobotChicken'' has had three Star Wars Specials.
* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' had an episode that combined the original trilogy reference with allusions to ''[[{{Prequel}} Attack of the Clones]]'' when Timmy wishes for a copy machine that makes things real. The ''Abra-Catastrophe'' special also had a limited example in the opening dream sequence. The show is littered with Star Wars references: another one was when Timmy was trying to win the "Dimmy Awards." One of the scenes he filmed was a parody of the scene where Skywalker was trying to blow up the Deathstar. Butch Hartman is a huge Star Wars fan. The Wishology trilogy even had the Cantina scene and Vicky dressing up as Leah.
* ''FamilyGuy'' did ''FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball''. For the ''entire original trilogy''.

* Done in an episode of ''MuppetBabies''.
* The final episode of ''{{Pinky and the Brain}}'' was a StarWars parody featuring the cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', the show that it spun off from.
* ''TinyToonAdventures'' did this in its first regular episode in syndication. It was later brought into one of the SNES games.

* The "Mayored to the Mob" episode of ''TheSimpsons'', thanks to AdamWesting guest voice MarkHamill, who spends about half the episode trying to convince everyone [[IAmNotSpock he is not Luke]] before giving in and playing along with a StarWars adaptation of ''GuysAndDolls''. It has the number "Luke Be a Jedi Tonight". Need one say more?

* In ''ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Boogey Nights", the Boogey Man launches a giant disco ball to eclipse the sun so that his fellow nightmare creatures can party in the daytime as well and terrorize humanity forever. The Powerpuff Girls fly out to the disco ball in a dead-on parody of the attack on the Death Star. In the end, Buttercup flies out of the sun like the Millennium Falcon, winging two demons on Bubbles' tail with her heat vision, allowing Bubbles to fire a heat-vision blast that destroys the [[strike: Death Star]] disco ball.

* {{''Gintama''}} has not only one, but ''two'' entire story arc based around a StarWars parody. Star Wars with japanese samurai and quirky aliens.

* ''TheBurkissWay'' is an early example, parodying the first film shortly after its British premiere in 1978. ''StarWars'' [Episode IV] is announced as "The biggest thing to hit America since GeraldFord fell out of his plane" and "more expensive than building real spaceships",

Many shows have a few references to ''StarWars''. It's a popular film series, so [[SmallReferencePools the majority of the audience is likely to understand it]]. However, some shows go a step further, and have an entire ''episode'' that revolves around references to ''StarWars'', LukeIAmYourFather scenes, [[BigNo Big NOOOOOOOs]], and thinly-veiled [[CaptainErsatz Captain Ersatz]]es of Darth Vader. The focal or point-of-view character usually plays the part of Luke Skywalker, since episodes frequently take most references from primarily ''ANewHope'' and ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'' ([[FirstInstallmentWins primarily the former]]).

* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' is built around this.

* The opening of ToLoveRu is blatant. And then {{subverted}}: TIE fighters don't have missiles.

* The ''SpaceQuest'' series has a number of ''StarWars'' references, including a desert planet reminiscent of Tatooine which you crash your EscapePod on after your ship is captured by aliens, a defective R2-like droid, a Bow Tie fighter from the Cologne Wars on the garbage freighter in the third game, Imperial Probe Droid-like sentry bots, Obi-wan and Darth Vader dueling in the back ground, et. al. The box for ''SQ 4'' even says "May the farce be with you!".

* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' is an entire movie built around this.

* It's not the whole movie (not even close) and it's more affectionate than satiric, but there's a scene in ''ReignOfFire'' where some of the survivors in a PostApocalyptic world with little left in the way of entertainment act out Star Wars to entertain the kids.

* A book in the children's series ''Space Brat'' spoofed this (I believe it was "Planet of the Dips"). Among other things, there is a Yoda-like hermit in a swamp with a similar-sounding name, and his advice to the main character is "Use the farce, Blork!"

* LoZooDi105 has ''Merde Stellari'', literally "Star Shits".

* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' had an episode that combined the original trilogy reference with allusions to ''[[{{Prequel}} Attack of the Clones]]'' when Timmy wishes for a copy machine that makes things real. The ''Abra-Catastrophe'' special also had a limited example in the opening dream sequence. The show is littered with Star Wars references: another one that comes to mind was when Timmy was trying to win the "Dimmy Awards." One of the scenes he filmed was a parody of the scene where Skywalker was trying to blow up the Deathstar.
** It should be mentioned that Butch Hartman is a huge Star Wars fan. The Wishology trilogy even had the Cantina scene and Vicky dressing up as Leah.

** Don't forget about the School Bus Imperial Walkers and the Sled Snowspeeders in a giant Hoth/Snow Day battle.

* Most films in the ViewAskewniverse have StarWars references thanks to KevinSmith's [[OneOfUs geeky obsessions]]. Most evident in ''JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' which has the title and features a lightsaber duel with Mark Hamil at its climax, complete with his hand being cut off and him remarking "not again." The same film has a Carrie Fisher cameo, though her scene has no Star Wars references.

* '''''{{Futurama}}''''' has been known to do this from time to time, the first reference being Hanukkah Zombie's preferred mode of transportation a Tie Fighter whose wings are shaped like dreidels. Bonus points in that Hanukkah Zombie is voiced by MarkHamill.

* MonicasGang had ''[[http://www.monica.com.br/ingles/comics/coelhada/welcome.htm Star Warp]]'' (in the original Portuguese, ''Coelhada nas Estrelas'' something like "Star [[EverythingsBetterWithBunnies Rabbit]]-[[ImprovisedWeapon beating]]"), followed 11 years later by an ''Empire'' parody, ''O Feio Contra-Ataca'' (The Ugly Strikes Back), and 2 years later by ''O Retorno de Jedito'' (Return of the Jedito).

* The final episode of ''{{Pinky and the Brain}}'' was a StarWars parody featuring the cast of ''{{Animaniacs}}'', the show that it spun off from.

* ''{{Worse}}'''s initial setting is a very Star Wars-esque universe.
* ''DarthsAndDroids'' is based on the premise of a group of [[TabletopGames tabletop gamers]] playing out the ''Star Wars'' prequels as a campaign in a generic science fiction game system, in a world where the actual ''Star Wars'' movies never existed.

** It should be mentioned that Butch artman is a huge Star Wars fan. The Wishology trilogy even had the Cantina scene and Vicky dressing up as Leah.

* The dodgeball episode of ''[=~Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide~=]'' includes Cookie joining [[FaceHeelTurn The Dark Side]] and gaining a roboticized voice and heavy breathing from his dodge ball face shield, an Image Freeze echoing the end of the master-vs.apprentice fight in ''A New Hope'', and a dodgeball called The Force, among others.

* ''[=~Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends~=]'' combined it with a superhero spoof--the villain turned Bloo into a Vader copy and made him fight Mac on a catwalk with a dramatic "unmasking".

* The entire ''[[LegoCrossoverGame Lego Star Wars]]'' series of video games could be seen as an officially licensed Star Wars parody.
