My goal in life is to become a famous actor or comedian somehow and win an award, an Oscar or Emmy or something, JUST so that when I go up to the stage, accept the award, grip it to my chest with tears in my eyes, and give Princess Leia's "....this is the promise of the tree of life" speech with a look of 100% absolute sincerity on my face.

Trivia: the rat prop from Food of the Gods was going to be in the original Star Wars cantina scene, along with a giant mantis marionette and several other creatures, but they decided to leave them out. Because of the original film's budget, a lot of the Cantina costumes were from other films or from the 20th century Fox warehouse (hence the werewolf, grey alien, and devil)

[@FancyRPGCanada]

The reason Mark Hammill's makeup is terribly heavy in this special because they're trying to cover up his plastic surgery scars from the car crash he was in right before Star Wars was first released. It's the same reason he's got scars in Empire Strikes Back, and why they added the scene at the beginning of that movie of him being attacked by the yeti. If you pay attention to his face between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back you can tell the difference. Poor guy, must have been a bad crash if the change to his face from plastic surgery was that drastic.

[@mamawray]

All true. It's still way too much eye liner though. And that hair?! What did they use? Hot curlers and Aqua Net?

I can tell you that something can be so bad that even an 9-year-old was embarrassed to watch in in the presence of others. And you must remember, while changing the channel could have been an option, this was when most of the country had only 3 networks and PBS to choose from. Sigh. I think we were all stunned by how bad it was, we were too incapacitated to do anything about it, though.

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Paul Gale who played Itchy also played Hoodoo in the Krofft Roadshows. Malla was played by Mickey Morton who played Solomon Grundy in the Legends of the Superheroes tv special. He also does an unmasked appearance in the bar as the bar closed. The Droids cartoon of Boba Fett continued to wear the grayish outfit instead of the greenish one used in the film. Oddly Grace Slick didn't appear in the "Set the Night on Fire" song, but does the voice over for the Bea Arthur bar segment. I do like this special better than the movies.

And I also remember telling my schoolmates the next day who hadn't seen it how "weird and boring" it was. Don't forget, VHS players were still a few years away. GL never addressed it at the time.

Bea Arthur had actually just finished up “Maude” around that time, so it sorta makes sense.

You almost made me choke to death on a hershey kiss with my laughing, thanks for that.

Whenever I see a review of this special, they always mock Luke's look. Mark Hamill got into a bad car accident after filming A New Hope. In fact, the whole reason for the Wampa scene in Empire was to explain some facial scaring from the accident.

[@Bobman-ml5qf]

Does anybody have that feeling that Luke's video chat, feels like the video you get before you get on a SW themed ride?

[@KEYSERSOZE1965]

You know the funny thing about this special...it is exactly the type of thing you would watch that has nothing to do with the holiday it was aired for. Like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory always being aired on Easter. So both are about candy but there's no crucified son of God during the tour of the factory so why is is always aired at Easter???

[@TheRealJames76]

*Mike Teavee:* But Easter's over...! *Willy Wonka:* Shh. They don't know that yet. I'm trying to get ahead for next year.

I love how you have winters tale poster up. That movie made me so mad but I loved your " midnight screening" of it.

[@RedSpade37]

Those were the days, weren't they?

[@soldierofchaos84]

Wow I can't believe you put yourself through that. I have only watched it twice and I live star wars but this shit is insane lol.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

From what I understand, kids didn't really play video games in 1978, except maybe Pong.

Dude when you said TIE fighter i almost died but then i realized you were punking me....you are a god...

[@DustinReckling]

When he said "Rue McClanahan" I lost it

[@timelessdays]

Maybe it's a coincidence but when he said the "actors" in the film, he ended with "Marijuana". Suddenly I thought about TheMysteriousMrEnter. I wonder if that was intentional (I'm sure it wasn't but hey, I can still type pointless crap you'll not read anyways)

[@spoonbendingspacemonkey]

In A New Hope, Han mentions that Wookies are known to rip people's arms off. Why are no arms being ripped off in this movie?

[@GleeChan]

lmfao @ the TIE fighter joke.

[@ShadeMeadows]

Im still glads this exists, so funny!
