Trivia

• Vader is briefly mentioned in the DuckTales episode "All Ducks on Deck", when the Phantom Blot is comparing himself to other villains: "I make Darth Vader look as scary as the hood ornament of a '53 Buick!"
• In Toy Story 2, there is a spoof of Vader's famous line (No, I am your father) when Emperor Zurg reveals himself to Buzz Lightyear.
  • Its sequel likewise had Big Baby throwing Lotso into the dumpster, similar to Vader's redemption by defeating Emperor Palpatine.
  • Vader's line to Leia when ordering for her arrest was also parodied with Bad Buzz in the same film. Coincidentally, both Bad Buzz and Darth Vader were seduced by the bad guy (Lotso and Palpatine, respectively), although in the former's case, it was closer to being brainwashed.
• In Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph mimics Vader's breathing when he hidees out in a chocolate pond through a candy straw.
