| First reference: | Hiros |
Star Wars is the series of science fiction films created by George Lucas in 1977. The six "episodes" chronicle the heroic and tragic journeys of the Skywalker family, including their dealings with The Force, a mysterious power which, when accessed, gives individuals extraordinary powers.
References
Hiros
Hiro, frustrated with Ando for wanting to cheat at gambling, says that using powers for personal gain is "the Dark Side". In Star Wars, the Dark Side of the Force is tapped by evil individuals, giving them power to profit, cheat, and destroy.
Better Halves
After learning that a future version of himself carries a sword, Hiro excitedly practices brandishing a sword in a style similar to Luke Skywalker's first foray with a lightsaber. Also, in the background, there are blue and green neon lights, which resemble lightsaber swords.
How to Stop an Exploding Man
Ando, attempting to rouse Hiro's courage, reminds him of his heroes from varied stories, including those from Star Wars.
Later, at Kirby Plaza, Sylar telekinetically chokes Peter in much the same way that Darth Vader "grabs" his subordinates (usually choking them to death).
Graphic Novel:Heroism is Found in the Heart, Part 1
Ando, when confronted by the Tokyo bikers, says, "I have a bad feeling about this." This line is commonly used in the Star Wars films.
Kindred
Peter does a Darth Vader choke on Will, and seems to be influenced by something similar to the Dark Side.
Powerless
Peter does a Darth Vader choke on Hiro, but lets him go when Matt comes in.

- In a blog entry from the Nevada desert, Hiro checks in, calling, "Uncle Owen? Aunt Beru?" Owen and Beru are the names of Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle who lived in the desert.
- Frustrated with 9th Wonders!'s cliffhanger ending, Hiro blogs that he could use his own personal Yoda. He then equates the Nevada desert to Tatooine, worries about being attacked by Jawas, calls Ando a "cyborg translator", and says, "Isaku-san, you're my only hope." Ultimately, he wants to find his lightsaber. Finally, Hiro references Luke Skywalker's vehicle during the final Death Star scene when he says, "Red five, I'm going in!"

- A crossword puzzle clue on Hiro's blog reads "Wrote number five". The answer is "Kasdan", referring to Lawrence Kasdan, the writer of Star Wars: Episode V -- The Empire Strikes Back. Another clue reads "Episode VII character?", referring to Leia Solo, a character from the 7th novel episode of the Star Wars novels. Still another clue reads "Bantha lover", which refers to Lumpy from the Star Wars novels. Finally, a clue reads "Try not." and the answer is "do", which is a reference to Yoda's famous line from The Empire Strikes Back, "Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."
