Star Wars (franchise)

Star Wars is a multimedia franchise created by George Lucas which began on 12 November 1976 with the novelisation of the original Star Wars film, later referred to as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, despite the film being released on 25 May 1977. The franchise is owned by Lucasfilm Ltd, who have since been aquired by the Walt Disney Company. 
==Crossovers==
Although the two series do not often cross paths officially, they have nevertheless had a few stories with elements of the Star Wars universe bleeding into Doctor Who and its expanded universe.
Perhaps the most significant of these connections was the appearances of C.Y.R.I.L., a fictional editor for Marvel UK's Star Wars magazines, in the Doctor Who Magazine comic stories and . 
Much later, in the 2015 Disney XD promotional video , an official reference was made to a "Star Wars Rebels event" - that turning out to be The Siege of Lothal - which would be releasing that summer, alongside reference to Doctor Who's upcoming appearance on the channel.
== References to Star Wars in the DWU ==
Much more often than the above official crossovers are unofficial references and appearances by elements of the Star Wars universe in the Doctor Who universe. These range from in-universe references where the subjects seem to "really exist" in the Doctor Who universe, to out-of-universe references to the Star Wars series as fiction. Some of these references were officially noted in the doctorwho.tv article "The Star Wars References You Missed in Doctor Who".The Star Wars References You Missed in Doctor Who at doctorwho.tv
In the Doctor Who Magazine comic story , among the several cameos of different characters, Marvel-owned or not, Darth Vader appeared as an attendee at Bonjaxx's birthday party, talking with a Ferengi. This was colourised in The Incomplete Death's Head #12.
In the Doctor Who season 26 TV story , Ace learns from Ange that their mutual friend Flo married a "brain-dead plumber" whom they had nicknamed "Darth Vader", a further reference to the character.
In the BBC New Series Adventures novel , the Tenth Doctor tells Martha Jones that Jar Jar Binks' clan were "...good people...very hospitable."
A child appears cosplaying as Boba Fett in the 2015 Convention Special, in the comic story . Another individual cosplaying as the character appears in the Reeltime Pictures home video , albeit without the helmet.
On a poster in the Trap Street in , the Star Wars alphabet of Aurebesh is used to spell out "Delorean", which is itself a reference to Back to the Future, another popular sci-fi film series.

A Dalek makes a cameo appearance in the Star Wars Tales comic strip Fett Club.
In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Bombad Jedi", Padmé Amidala is locked up in a prison block managed by an octagonal console, which highly resembles the classic TARDIS control console. In the third episode of Andor, a room on a CIS ship looks very similar to the TARDIS console room.
