George Lucas may have broken box office records. But on The Simpsons, Star Wars has been an influence since long ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Bart Wars, a clever web site, lets visitors download video clips of different times characters have referred to Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back. In "I Married Marge," for instance, you can watch Homer tell Marge she is "as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda."

For visual effects, visit the Star Wars Customs site. Visitors to this site can see Bespin Bart and D'oh! Vader as action figures. There is also a cartoon depicting a saber duel.

For a complete list of Star Wars references, visit The Simpsons Archive.
