Wow. I watched this when it aired, a long time ago....Now it makes sense why I tried to repress the memory. Wow...simply, wow (but I am very happy it has received the Rifftrax treatment).
I love watching Harrison Ford choke back the bile while reciting his lines. A true professional sure, but you know he let out a "what the fuck is this shit?" right after they yelled cut.
WOW.....W-O-W....lmao....I've never been a huge Star Wars fan so I never even knew this thing existed before Rifftrax lol. Ouch! They can make pretty much anything lovable...or at least, somewhat tolerable. lol Still hafta choose Manos over this one though!
@ApacheMan2K I'd like to post it , but they might have it pulled . I once had the full movie and riff up on one of my other channels , and it was pulled . Now I'm just posting "clips" hoping that they'll alow it.
I don't understand how harrison ford could appear in the worst thing ever filmed and the best thing ever filmed (blade runner). It's just so darn inconsistent!
This was written by Bruce Vilanch. Yes. Harrison Ford was forced to read a script that Bruce Vilanch wrote. And Harvey Corman totally bombed through the whole show. It was so uncomfortable to watch. I remember right after this, 3CPO, R2D2 and Mark Hamill were popping up on every kids show. 321 Contact, Sesame Street, and The Great Space Coaster. I'm sure there were more. But Bea Arthur was hilarious. I always wondered if she took her name as an instruction rather than a title. And Arthur smoked.
@fionn18 , Ever here of Mystery Science Theater 3000 ? They know have a web company that riffs on modern movies . You can down load mp3s of them , and then you just play them while watching the movie .
of course i've heard of mst3k but this star wars special... it's just too much, I can't even begin too describe how bad this was (so I guess it's good material for mike and the gang). seriously chewbacca's family are terrifing, and the dialogue oh the dialogue! the mst3k just barely made this tolerable but that only shows how good they are
You left out the very best riffs like "Introducing Chewbaca's family- AND MANY A SCREAM YOURSELF AWAKE NIGHTMARES- ...with special guest stars, Beatrice Arthur;-AND HER FAMOUS EROTIC FAN DANCE- Art Carney;- AS BEATRICE ARTHUR-... and lets not forget; "Mala to Lumpy, 'Growwl'- GO SCOOP THE CLUMPS OUT OF GRANDPA'S LITTER BOX!" and the Princess Leia & Mala scene especially the "THROMBOSIS; MY CORNS! MY CORNS!" stuff, too many riffs to choose, if you put them all in, it would be 1hr 56mins, nice.
Thanks for uploading this. I own the riff of the entire special, and I recommend to anyone buying the commentary. 2 hours of comic genius. If you don't have the special recorded (I bet very few people do) they suggest at RiffTrax to "Get frOm yOur friend Greg, in LakE VIDEO, Illinois. (Don't look it up, they don't like to draw attention to themselves in Lake Video.)"
DON'T PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, LUCAS!
