Well, parts of it, anyway.That awesomely strange cartoon, of course, introducing to the universe the intriguing Boba Fett. Some (very little, admittedly) of the domestic wookiee stuff. (And the Stan Winston wookie suits are fantastic and full of character.) Mark Hamill's heavy makeup. Harrison Ford, trying to stay in character and keep a straight face amid the nonsense. And I genuinely enjoy Bea Arthur's musical number - and whoever thought I'd admit that?
The less said about Carrie Fisher's singing, on the other hand, the better.
When the only Star Wars was Star Wars, (and the Marvel comics) even this bizarro Seventies artifact was something to look forward to and even celebrate. Have yourselves a happy (belated) Life Day and may the Force be with you, Star Kids!
HAHA. LOVE IT! But right now, I want to hear Bea Arthur sing the Cantina Song.
ReplyDeleteI still have nightmares about Harvey Korman pouring drinks into a hole in his head.
ReplyDeleteI don't think ANYONE celebrates that particular day...
ReplyDeleteThe only part I remembered from watching it as a kid was the Boba Fett cartoon and the re-used Star Destroyer footage from the movie (that thrilled me, being starved for anything Star Wars back then). I had a mental block on the rest of it. That is, until I saw the RiffTrax version recently. That was a riot and I highly recommend it. Plus I think it's the only legit version you can buy.
ReplyDeleteHere's wooking at you kid (ducks).
ReplyDeleteI HAVE THIS...COMPLETE WITH THE COMERCIALS! They are the only thing that makes it watchable! I love this site. Happy Life Day Everyone! And more Space Raiders please!
