when talking about a movie they saw last night, a character breathes and
shields his voice like Darth Vader and says "Ivan, I am your father...and
Mary Lou, the Ice Princess is your mother. [4]
Wonderworld Jimmy says he is agent THX-1138. This refers
to George Lucas's previous movie, THX-1138. [5] Someone to Watch Over Me
the villain "Grim" in the final fight in space sounds a lot like
Darth Vader (a lot of holding the "s" sound in sentences) and shares
some of his lines like "It is useless to resist," and "...face
your destiny." The entire scene sounds very similar to the final
confrontation in The Empire Strikes Back. [6] Subject Yourself

makes him look like something out of Star Wars. [7] Family Vacation Part 2

CAROL Smilie (Ravens): This week we've traveled to the very epicenter of
the evil Empire, The Death Star. Darth Vader... VADER (Cornwell):
Hello Carol CAROL: You can open your eyes now and see what we've
done. VADER: by the Jedi! this is
terrible! CAROL: ok, Linda Barker, tell us what you've been
doing... BARKER (Ravens): Well, Darth, the first thing we noticed
was that your Death Star was a little on the DARK side! So, we've
gone really, really, mad on yellows, greens and lots of pastel potato
prints and we've taken your rather bland Stormtroopers helmet and made
frosted table lamps. I think it's really, really, really
lovely. And we've removed that big round thing that destroys
planets and we've turned it into a lovely, lovely, strained glass
window! Which is really, really, really, lovely! Don't you
think Darth? VADER: I will cut you down with my
light saber! BARKER: Oh, no! No you won't because I've
turned your lightsaber into an illuminated detachable curtain
rail! Which works really, really, really
well! VADER: And I used to think I was the most
evil being in the universe. BARKER: Oh really? You've
obviously never met Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen! [3]
New Renter skit December 2000: Mr.

upstairs. Miss Jones: Oh, Rigsby, he's ever so cultured and
well-spoken. I find myself strangely attracted to him.
Rigsby: You keep your distance Miss Jones. I know his sort, big,
black as the ace of spades (inaudible), there goes the neighborhood
now. Miss Jones: Oh, Mr. Rigsby, you're so prejudiced, (gasps) shh!
Here he comes! Rigsby: Oh! Settling in Mr. Vader?
Vader: (breathing heavy) not really Mr. Rigsby...I can't help noticing
I've only got one 40 watt bulb in my room. Rigsby: Hold on a
second, I distinctly recall you asking for a room that was a little on
the dark side. Anyway, what was that racket going on last
night? What did I tell you, no lightsabers on after 10:30!
Vader: I don't suppose there's a payphone in (inaudible)...I need to
phone my master, the Emperor. Rigsby: Oh, Emperor is it? Uh,
well, why didn't you say so? Always willing to accommodate any
friend of royalty, you know. So you and the Emperor planning
anything special? Vader: We are planning to enslave the universe
and spread evil throughout the cosmos. Rigsby: Yes, well as long
as you pay your rent on time. See, Miss Jones, manners of a
thug. Miss Jones: Oh, perhaps you're right Mr. Rigsby, at least
that other new resident is a professional...a Doctor... (referring to
Dr. Who) [4] Green
Grocer Refuses to Use Metric System April 2001 Reporter:
Is this a case of bureaucracy gone mad? A green grocer has been
convicted of refusing to sell his goods in metric measurements. He
joins us now from the radio car. Now, why are you so stuck
on pounds and ounces? Vader: (breathing) Because
I will never desert the Imperial cause!
(laughter) Reporter: But Mr. Vader, your
Imperial system is simply outdated, isn't it?
Vader: That's no what the Stormtrooper coming to my shop said. I
don't want to send them out with 800 grams of "?? gamson?) when
they're crushing the Rebel Alliance. Reporter:
You're planning an appeal I gather? Vader: Yes,
I have been offered financial assistance by those from the Dark
Side. Reporter: You mean the Imperial High

In
the ads they always play a little snippet of the program, in this particular
Ad Glen Beck was talking about Star Wars! He was saying what a great movie it
was and when you are a kid you like it because of how fast paced it is and
stuff but when you are like 25-30 you realize how brilliantly it is written,
the complexity and how deep the themes are. He was talking about a scene
"from the second one" when Yoda is talking about trying "...do
or do not there is no try" He didn't quote it exactly right, but it was
still pretty cool! (Thanks

for Bill Lizard - 1998 - Irish Radio. "Time
Out for Bill Lizard follows the adventures of a hard-boiled private eye who
comes into possession of a cell phone in the shape of a Cheshire cat which takes
him on a wild trip through alternate dimensions. Inspired by Stephen Hawking’s
A Brief History of Time, the play explores
concepts of the uncertainty principle and the relationship between space and
time as Bill tries to find his way home through a plethora of characters and
situations derived from movies, literature, and popular culture. Its
references from
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz,
and Star Wars are
actually very cleverly worked into the surreal storyline"
