The Simpsons (Fox), 1991-12-26
Season 3: "I Married Marge".
In a flashback episode to Marge & Homer's courtship, one
particular date apparently occurred in May of 1980. As Mr. Simpson and
Miss Bouvier walk out of a theater under a marquee reading "The Empire
Strikes Back", Homer blurts out to everyone lined up for the next show
that "Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!" The throng groans at
the ruined surprise plot twist.
Also, Homer tells Marge "You're as pretty as Princess Leia, and as smart as Yoda."

Lisa is shown briefly with Leia buns hairdo.

Season 6: "Lisa's Rival".
Young Ralph Wiggum wins the school's diorama contest with a box
of his MOC Star Wars figures. He later falls on them and laments "I
think I bent my Wookiee" (double entendre obviously intended). Earlier
in that same episode, Lisa and a classmate play an anagram game where
the letters in "Alec Guinness" are rearranged into "genuine class".
The Simpsons (Fox)
Lisa is treated to a very good animated likeness of Vader
(better than the one in the Holiday Special's Nelvana segment) when
she sees her deceased mentor "Bleeding Gums" Murphy as a Lion
King-inspired cloud. Murphy is joined in rapid succession by three
cloud-ghosts with James Earl Jones (imitated) voices: Mufasa, Vader,
and CNN announcer. [It is interesting to note that Jones himself has
done voice work on The Simpsons: in their Halloween special he voiced
the chief onboard an alien invasion craft; and he gave a superb
reading of Poe's "damnable bird poem", The Raven.]
The Simpsons (Fox)
The family is at the outdoor concert and the Star Wars theme is
playing.
Homer says, "They're butchering the classics, John Williams is rolling over in his grave."
Marge answers, "Homer, he isn't dead yet."

The nuclear plant going to destruct (or something along that line) when

The State (MTV),
One sketch had a young man calling a fictitious
Talk-to-Carrie-Fisher 900 number. He tells her how hot she looked in
the slave girl outfit, she thanks him, and then he asks her if she
gets royalties from those films.
The State (MTV),
Two cast member swap Chewbacca impressions via telephone.
The State (MTV),
In the final episode, a lengthy skit detailed the career of a
talent agent who had been trained as a Jedi master by Yoda.
The writer of this sketch must have been a huge fan, because
many familiar (and more than one obscure) lines of dialogue had been
lovingly spoofed.
Sending a vision of hope to a struggling writer, a la Obi-Wan's
ghostly sendings, the Jedi talent agent excuses himself when
call-waiting beeps in -- he warns the caller not to "screw with me,
[or] I'll come back more powerful than you could ever imagine" in a
nasal Brooklyn accent.
And apparently someone at The State disliked real life talent
agent Michael Ovitz, whose name was used for a Sith Lord evil agent.
At one point the Dark Jedi levitates and telekinetically chokes one of
two jawas who had been pilfering his office equipment in the
background.
Neat Stuff (TLC), 1995
"Unidentified Flying Objets d'Art"
An interview with super-collector Steve Sansweet at his home.
Various other small Star Wars snippets throughout the show
Saturday Night Live (NBC), early 1996
The episode opened with a mock Nightline interview with (then Senator and presidential hopeful) Bob Dole.
When Norm MacDonald as Dole claimed that he would soon become a "beam of pure energy", the Ted Koppel asked, "like Obi-Wan Kenobi?"
To which Dole muttered, "Yeah! Sure... whoever that is."
News Radio, 1996-03
Boba Fett made an appearance... sort of.
Sure, it was just a 1995 action figure, mysteriously attached
to a wooden base, but the scene -- which lasted scant seconds --
contained surprisingly accurate dialogue about the bounty hunter.
The figure was used as a good luck charm in a poker game.
Its owner correctly said that he was in ESB and ROJ, whereas
most of the general public might have erroneously included ANH as
well.

During one news broadcast they do the Death Star explosion from the point of view of the Empire.
It was really cute and worth catching those 10 seconds!
The broadcast went something like this:
Tragic news just coming in that the Death Star has been blown up killing
almost 3 million on board. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the
friends and families of those killed. At this time all that is known is that
a group of Rebels was responsible for the act and the police are
actively investigating. Fortunately Lord Vader was not on board the
space station when it exploded.
