The Transformers: The Movie was marketed as 'conceived in the epic tradition of Star Wars', and it's not hard to make comparisons between the two. In a perhaps more tenuous link between the two franchises, CYRIL, the Editor Droid from the then-defunct Marvel UK Return of the Jedi comics, made a cameo in UK issue #99's Robo-Capers, as confirmed by Grimlock in response to a reader's question in issue #108's Grim Grams. Incongruously, a filmmaker in another issue actually mentions the 'Star Wars' movies.

In the Marvel comic series, the Dinobots are seen using a shuttle that looks very much like Boba Fett's Slave I, and the C-3PO design might have inspired some background characters in two issues. Ladies and gentlemen, the Generation 1 Holiday Special. Thus, when the sound effect was used in ' Starscream's Ghost', ' Only Human', and ' The Rebirth, Part 1', Anthony Daniels' lingering yelp of '-O!' could be heard as well, thus giving him an unintentional, uncredited appearance. This sampling process even led to a bit of dialogue getting inadvertently reused: when a laser blast sound effect was lifted from a scene in The Empire Strikes Back in which C-3PO gets shot, a portion of the character's overlapping cry of 'NO!' came along with it. Battle sounds include the swish and hum of a lightsaber and even the Death Star destroying the planet Alderaan.

In the audio production, the Star Wars sound-effect library was put to use throughout the series for example, the TIE Fighter and Millennium Falcon engine-roars are commonly heard from jets and spaceships. In the American cartoon, the episode ' The Gambler' features several visual references to Return of the Jedi, and the names and appearances of two film-actor characters ( Harold Edsel and Karen Fishook in ' Hoist Goes Hollywood') are plays off of the real-life Star Wars actors Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. For example, an episode of the Victory anime shows Ewoks and Jawas among the inhabitants of an alien settlement, and the iconic droids C-3PO and R2-D2 make a very brief cameo in another episode. While no official connection between the two franchises existed in the Generation 1 era, Star Wars was a frequent influence on illustrators and production artists, who would slip Star Wars character designs into backgrounds or use Star Wars sound effects in animation.
