This is a really interesting list of many many words, characters, and places in the Star Wars universe and how they got their name.
I could only find a handful of actual pop references in there, but I'll try to find more of those.

One example of a pop reference is Gi, Sha'a. This self-doubting Jedi Padawan's name and appearance are a nod to Scooby Doo's panicky pal Shaggy.
