If it's only a little, like the amount shown in these panels, it's probably okay; considering how well-known Star Wars is I kind of doubt there'd be much of an argument about whether your use of it harms Disney's copyright? But I know Disney can be very, let's say protective of their IP (especially if someone else is making money from it, so that is also a factor)
Like I said though, not a lawyer, this is my main reference for this:
