I actually kind of want that C-3PO tape dispenser. Is that wrong?

    Damn, and they didn't even need to go to the crap movies. I guess C-3P0 was the Jar-jar of the '70's.

    Ok, who has seen The Star Wars Holiday Special? Extra points for catching it when it first aired!

    What's the Holiday Special? Does Doug McClure do a special guest star as Darth Mistletoe?

    Star Wars 1-3 are just awful. What's even worse is that Lucas fucked with the originals that they no longer look like the originals. I mean replacing David Prowse with Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of Jedi??? Sacrilegious! Prowse is the man!

    Wow! Sebastian Lewis Shaw played the ghost of Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi not Prowse.

    The whole program is on You Tube. I like it better than Revenge of the Sith. The cartoon reminds me of heavy metal and The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. All you need is a green orb and a 1/2 naked blonde riding a pteradactyl.

    Well I certainly saw it the first and only time around... it sucked then, but now I think it's kind of cool.

    I want to be able to enjoy it as a goofy artifact, but they really lose me when the elderly wookie starts getting sexually aroused in his easy chair while watching Jefferson Starship on his "future" TV. I can't go for that - no can do.

    On the other hand, I rather enjoy the scene where the Empire thugs toss that wookie kid's room and gratuitously wreck his stuffed animals. Call me a bad guy, but it's oddly hilarious.

    The cartoon is roundly considered the only worthwhile part of the whole mess, although the vintage ads are kinda fun.

    Carrie Fisher's bat-mitzvah lessons paid off. The "Princess Leia Sings" part is frigging hilariuos as well as spooky.

    From Overheard In New York:

    Star... Something... Something

    Teen boy #1: No, the gold one is called 'CD3' or something. The little one is, like, 'R4M23.'
    Teen boy #2: I think the gold robot was named 'R3DM24.' It was the small one that was 'C-something.'
    Teen boy #3: No, man, the gold guy was 'C3DDO,' and the little silver one was 'RH52' or some shit.
    Frustrated 30-something lady behind them: The gold one is 'C3PO' and the smaller one is 'R2-D2'!
    Teen boy #2: Oh, thanks -- you can tell we're not Trekkies.

    Some of those are so obviously made up that they should be sent to Penthouse Forum - that's not to say it wasn't funny, though.

    On an equally geeky note, I just watched the Donner version of Superman 2. So much better this way. I'm not sure that I'll watch it enough to justify spending $20., on it, but I did really like it.

    I wonder if Lumpy got the set underneath the "Life" tree.
