Not only did Prince Harry and Prince William get hugs from Chewbacca and play around with lightsabers on the set of "The Force Awakens", but the royal bros also filmed a cameo as stormtroopers in the movie. But alas, director Rian Johnson cut their one and only scene from the final version.

The actor has also been spotted dressed as Boba Fett, which must have really confused his young fans.

At a Houston concert in August 1980, Queen's dynamic singer Freddie Mercury closed the show by returning onstage for one more song. However he did it by sitting on the shoulders of one seven-foot man dressed as Darth Vader. Fans loved the schtick but Star Wars founder George Lucas wasn't keen. According to website Gunaxin Lucas threatened to sue the band for using the character in their concerts. The threat was enough to nix the gag. The same tour Mercury would also ride on the shoulders of Superman.

Actor Seth Green would love to be in 'Star Wars' but told Esquire in 2013 discussions he had with George Lucas were a dream come true. Green and Lucas worked on a comedy series called Star Wars: Detours to "offer a different perspective of Star Wars, sort of the way Clone Wars did." Episodes are done but haven't aired. Green told Lucas he thought Jar Jar Binks wasn't funny but loved C-3PO in the originals. Lucas told Green it was because the kids loved those characters while the adults despised both of them.

"Weird" Al Yankovic

Some of Weird Al Yankovic's bigger parodies have been rich in Star Wars minutiae. In 1999 the singer released "The Saga Begins," a parody using Don McLean's "American Pie." The tune recapped what transpired in The Phantom Menace with the singer paying a hefty price tag (which went to charity) to see a pre-screening of the film. In 1985, Yankovic reworked the Kinks' classic "Lola" into "Yoda." It took Yankovic five years to get permission to release "Yoda" as a chance meeting with The Kinks' Ray Davies sealed the deal.

South Park founders Matt Stone and Trey Parker told MTV in 2005 they worshipped the three original films but despised the subsequent trilogy. "Beyond all the wooden acting and the stupid fights and all the terrible scripts, the very core of Star Wars was ruined in these new ones," Stone said. When asked what character they hated, both replied it was all the prequels' characters. Stone's favourite character was General Ackbar from The Empire Strikes Back. The duo referenced Star Wars in their hit musical The Book Of Mormon.

The singer said The Empire Strikes Back is his favourite film of the franchise for "how clean everything looked and the aesthetic."

"I am a huge fan of Star Wars," Stephen Colbert said on April 29, 2014 during The Colbert Report, adding he saw the original when he was 13. "Let me tell you, Princess Leia's firm high buns stirred something in me." However he playfully said director J.J. Abrams was "blowing it" regarding the new films. "Where is the creature design?" Colbert said of a photo showing the new cast. "And those love seats are clearly not canon, those are tatooine battle couches! Have these people even heard of the holocron continuity database?"

Kristen Bell secured her Star Wars fan cred by appearing in the geeky comedy Fanboys. The film's plot featured Bell as Zoe, one of a group of friends hoping to get into Skywalker Ranch to see a rough cut of The Phantom Menace. "I was certainly a fan," Bell said in a 2006 interview. "I'm now much more of a fan. I know so many more characters, I know so much more about the intricacies of Star Wars." George Lucas loved Fanboys and approved, even allowing the director to shoot scenes at Skywalker Ranch and use sound effects.

Director Kevin Smith freely and regularly included Star Wars references in his early hit films Clerks and Mallrats. Smith deems himself a Star Wars "super fan" and said it helped launch his career. "So Star Wars, something that I was an eager fan of as a kid, it really panned out for me later on. For the first ten years of my career I didn't write scripts I wrote Star Wars jokes," he told MTV in 2012. "I'm here today because of that." Smith is also eager for the upcoming films. "I'll be first in line to pay for whatever they do," he said.

He also appeared in a Star Wars parody for Stand Up To Cancer, portraying Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen. Rogen appeared in Fanboys with a massive faux back tattoo featuring Jar Jar Binks.

A 2012 Ottawa Citizen concert review also said Monae "enacted a punch-out of three black-hooded figures who could have been cohorts of Darth Vader." Her 2010 concert tour included video of Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker

In 2013 he tried bribing Harrison Ford for details on the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII film.

Marilyn Manson/A Perfect Circle guitarist Twiggy Ramirez loved Star Wars as a kid. "It was sort of like my parent, growing up," he told Kerrang! in 1997 regarding the film. He married music with his love of the film for a 1993 concept album A New Hope with his thrash metal group Amboog-a-Lard. According to Askmen.com Ramirez (born Jeordie White) also uses "The Imperial March" theme as his intro music at some concerts. He also has numerous autographs of actors who appeared in the films and a horde of character toys.

Seth MacFarlane

Although making a parody of each of the original Star Wars films through extended episodes of The Family Guy (and all with the approval of George Lucas), Seth MacFarlane seems to be in the good books with the Star Wars creator, even interviewing him at one point for a DVD bonus. However he's a bit skeptical about the new trilogy of films now that are being produced by Disney. "Looking forward to seeing what exciting new Star Wars adventures will be cooked up by the dream factory that brought us Mars Needs Moms!"
