Earlier this week, I queried IMDb for a list of future film projects featuring Star Wars actors. (Click here to check it out.)

For some reason, the possibilities of the data connections one could make with IMDb caused me to wonder what non-Star Wars film has featured the most Star Wars actors?

(I have a personal rule that a record must be describable in ten words or less in order to be legitimate... "Most Star Wars Actors in a Non-Star Wars Film" just barely makes it.)

For your trivia pleasure, here are the top results according to my simple web-crawling script.
