Okay, so I went to youtube & found the clip...

GOOD GOLLY GRACIOUS.

Again, I must admit how much I love having my own office! As I watched the travesty unfold before me, I nearly slipped off my chair screeching when Redd Foxx's giant holographic Obi face appeared in the planetary skyline.

If you enjoy seeing a beloved classic set to the tune of the most sh*ttiest disco music ever, you hit the jackpot. If you have found yourself wondering what Han Solo would look like sporting a cheap pair of aviator glasses, then it's your lucky day. And if pseudo-Storm Troopers in white vinyl go-go boots is all that you've ever wished for, then your ship has really come in.

Thank you, mousepod. That clip made my day!!

I once saw something very similiar to this, but instead of a dancing Hammer, it was Tom Cruise jumping up & down on Oprah's couch. Heehee!

Tom Cruise unleashes the power of the Dark Side:

I finally got a watchable copy of the Donny and Marie Star Wars spoof circa 1977. Holy crap!

Kris Kristofferson as Han Solo, Paul Lynde as Grand Moff Tarkin, Redd Foxx as Obi Wan Kenobi, Thurl Ravenscroft as Darth Vader, Donny as Luke, and Marie as Leia (Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew as C3PO and Chewbacca respectively).

It's as painful as the Holiday Special, yet since it's a spoof (and only 12 minutes long) it's easier to take.

There's a (crappy quality) cap of it on youtube. It's probably all you need.

Happy Birthday Star Wars!

I was two weeks old when it came out, and living in Israel. My family story on this (which you may have heard already, my apologies) is that it wasn't in Israel for a while. Before it showed up there, my family was already moving to the US. My dad came over to get a job in order to procure visas for my mom and I (my mom isn't a US citizen). He finally saw Star Wars months after it came out and was blown away. When my mom and I finally did come over, one of the first things he did was take my mom to see it. The movie supposedly flopped in Israel.

For my own part, whenever it was on TV, we always watched it. It was something that's always been around. I couldn't imagine a world without it AND the sequels. They're a part of my childhood, and a part of my hardwired fantasies.

Whatever awful things happened afterward, I'll always be grateful for the Trilogy, and the wonder I still feel when watching it for the billionth time.

Happy birthday to Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Threepio, Artoo, Obi-Wan, and Vader...you're still the gold standard, and we still love you.

The only movie my Dad ever went to see with me in a theatre.

Kevy Baby · 05-18-2007, 12:24 PM

I never saw the original version of the movie on an INDOOR big screen - only saw it at the drive in.
