Ash
Ash are huge Star Wars fans. They named their record label Deathstar and their second album 1977 after the film's year of release (which actually opens with the sound of a TIE fighter). They also covered Cantina Band on the b-side of the single Girl From Mars, and the final track, Darkside Lightside, ends with a choral version of the Star Wars main theme.

Robbie Williams
The Stoke-born pop minstrel is clearly a fan of the film if the lyrics on Viva Life in Mars are anything to go by: "Take a ride on your high horse / If the horse is blind, use the Force / The Falcon flies in two straight lines / Red Five standing by, it's not a moon it's a space station".
