* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has had three ''Star Wars'' Specials building on skits from previous episodes.

* ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars'' didn't just stop at video games. They have two half-hour episodes that aired on Cartoon Network as well. The episodes are full of comedy that takes full advantage of the Lego settings and in-jokes about the series, including the famous [[ReCut "Han shot first" debacle]].

** Then there is the animated short "WesternAnimation/MaggieSimpsonsInTheForceAwakensFromItsNap", which has Maggie Simpson going to a ''Star Wars'' themed daycare, where she teams up with BB-8 to retrieve her pacifier.

* The "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E9MayoredToTheMob Mayored to the Mob]]" episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', thanks to AdamWesting guest voice Creator/MarkHamill, who spends about half the episode trying to convince everyone [[IAmNotSpock he is not Luke]] before giving in and playing along with a ''Franchise/StarWars''-reference-heavy adaptation of ''Theatre/GuysAndDolls''. It has the number "Luke Be a Jedi Tonight". Need one say more?

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' loves throwing in ''Star Wars'' references, but the second season episode "Love-Bheits" really takes it over the top and almost becomes nothing but a ''Star Wars'' parody episode. Nobody told the Baron that Dean in his Leia costume was a [[MemeticMutation trap]], though.

** And they also have a lightsaber duel. [[CrazyAwesome Because that's just awesome]].

* "[[http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2004-229 May The Farce Be With You]]", a DonaldDuck / MickeyMouse comic.

* A book in the children's series ''Space Brat'' spoofed this ("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!"

** Happens in ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}''--though, in this case, all of the characters involved are about the size of mice, and the day is saved not by the Force, but [[spoiler: Gian and Suneo accidentally breaking the Imperial Star Destroyer-equivalent while playing baseball]].

* Most films in Film/TheViewAskewniverse have ''Franchise/StarWars'' references thanks to Creator/KevinSmith's [[JustForFun/OneOfUs geeky obsessions]]. Most evident in ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' which has the title and features a lightsaber duel with Mark Hamill at its climax ("Don't [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] with the Jedi master, son!"), complete with his hand being cut off and him remarking "[[OhNoNotAgain not again]]." The same film has a Carrie Fisher cameo, though her scene has no Star Wars references.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{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 Stars of David. Bonus points in that Hanukkah Zombie is voiced by Creator/MarkHamill.

* Although several games of the series have references to Star Wars, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' is the least subtle about them. From an EvilEmpire capturing a rebel Princess, to a black clad warrior with a familial bond to a party member, to a gigantic superweapon with enough power to obliterate a civilization. Special mention goes to Balthier, a Sky Pirate with a CoolShip and a long lived [[BeastMan Beast(wo)man]] companion, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold who hides a heart of gold behind a mercenary exterior]].

* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' is based on the premise of a group of [[TabletopGames tabletop gamers]] playing out the ''Star Wars'' movies (as of August 21, 2013, just starting ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'') as a campaign in a generic science fiction game system, in a world where the actual ''Star Wars'' movies never existed.

* ''Unix Wars'' [[http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/unixwars.html]] is a retelling of the first half of ''A New Hope'' with as much names and terms as possible substituted by Unix and programming jargon, i.e. Obi-Wan becomes PDP-1 (a kind of 1960s computer, mostly but not totally obsolete by 1977[[note]]notable for having one of the very first computer games, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar_(video_game) Spacewar]], created on it (aficionados still use PDP-1 emulators to play it)[[/note]]), the Death Star is the rm-star (after the Unix command to erase everything).

* One module for the GameMaker ''Megazeux'' was titled [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Oh No, Not Another Star Wars Parody!"]]

-->Homer... use... the forks! [[ForkFencing Use the forks!]]

* ''Webcomic/BlueMilkSpecial'' is a direct parody of the original trilogy. It is currently up to Return of the Jedi.

* An episode of ''Series/That70sShow'' was set when ''Franchise/StarWars'' was first in theaters (It wouldn't become ''Film/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.)

* Done within the ''Star Wars'' franchise itself with ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', which reuses the general structure and many plot points from ''A New Hope'' and features its main characters in supporting roles after a TimeSkip. [[TropesAreNotBad It worked]], as most viewers considered the movie to be a love letter to the original trilogy.

** With a TakeThat to [[Film/ThePhantomMenace the]] [[Film/AttackOfTheClones Prequel]] [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Trilogy]] at the end, where Peter breezily dismisses them with "Eh, I think ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' is doing them."[[note]]Creator/SethMacFarland admitted that he was kidding when he said that, and he has no plans for doing the prequels. Furthermore, according to the DVD commentary for "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", they couldn't do the prequels even if they wanted to because there was too much going on in them.[[/note]]

%%* ''WebAnimation/RetardedAnimalBabies'' episode 13: "Abandon all Hope."

* Happens in ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}''--though, in this case, all of the characters involved are about the size of mice, and the day is saved not by the Force, but [[spoiler: Gian and Suneo accidentally breaking the Imperial Star Destroyer-equivalent while playing baseball]].

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball'', a series of double-length specials that managed to cover the ''entire original trilogy''.
** With a TakeThat to the Prequel Trilogy at the end, where Peter breezily dismisses them with "Eh, I think ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' is doing them."
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' 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 Empire Strikes Out''' takes place immediately after the end of ''A New Hope''. Before the Rebels have time to celebrate, Han and Leia head off to Naboo to ask Boss Nas for help in fighting the Empire. They both soon get washed away by waves of slobber. Luke heads to the capital city on Naboo, but finds himself getting chased by an army of fangirls. Meanwhile, Emperor Palpatine decides to go ahead and rebuild the Death Star, inviting Darth Maul to help out Darth Vader in building it. HilarityEnsues again as Darth Vader soon finds himself the ButtMonkey for the majority of the episode, including getting zapped by Jawas, repainted, and sold as a used droid.

* In the wake of buying out Lucasfilm, Disney created ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbStarWars'', featuring the plot of Episode IV from the perspective of the show's characters with the characters from the film interacting with them at certain points.
