While Chewbacca is being held prisoner in Cloud City, he attempts to put back together C-3PO's body (a droid) and holds the head similarly to how Hamlet holds Yorick's skull.
I also recently learned of a non-Star-Wars-related fun fact to do with skulls. In 1999, a comedian named Del Close donated his skull to a Chicago theater. He wanted his skull to be used when Hamlet was performed, which it was. Later on, though, some people noticed things that didn't seem quite right. For example, there were screws in the skull. One of Del Close's partners eventually admitted that the skull being used was actually a teaching skull because it had been too hard to clean and process Close's actual cranium!
