Bea Arthur sings in the Star Wars Holiday Special

[MugginMugga]

"Look, we're alive friend, you and I"

that part made me a little sad..

RIP Bea, goodnight but not goodbye

[MKER2]

Bea Arthur is the only one who attempts to give a shit in this special.

[1994moviebuff]

Emporer: soon the cantina will be closed and Bea Arthur will be one of us!

Vader: ..... why do we need Bea Arthu--

Emporer: SILENSE!!

[nbluth08]

this sounds like something off frank's wild years...kinda catchy actually

[TheAstralRaven]

Greedo came back to life to dance with that old lady. Hey, this movie is still better than Episodes 1-3.

[usernamegr8]

dancing and singing with drunken aliens....classic star wars

[PoopaPapaPalpatine]

There's something magical about that shimmy she does with Greedo.

[cosmoKramer123456789]

I always gets the chills the last time time she sings goodnight, but everything is ruined when that idiot who drinks with his head reappears and the plot returns..

[jonahfalcon1970]

@cosmoKramer123456789 Why? Krelman doesn't say a word.

[KakiHat]

Only thing cooler was The Fett riding a dinosaur.

[nervchemnitz]

Bea Arthur = Darth Maude

[User90663]

@nervchemnitz  Funniest. Comment. Ever.

[IamSalsa1]

Goodnight Bea, not goodbye.

[EpicPhalure]

i think at this part in the movie, my brain had already completely melted from sheer badness. because i don't remember this at all.

[Chung1307Kristina]

If you want to watch the full length film in High Definition quality Go Here >> bit.ly\iKyvgk <<Hurry and Get it before the link expires

[RainingBlackDolls]

The fact that I actually like this part is amazing because of two things: I hate this special and I hate musical numbers in general. It takes someone with a lot of talent like hers to make me actually like a musical number.

[PowerThirteen]

@amirverada I agree this is the best bit, but the Boba Fett cartoon was half-decent too.

[evilanimemonkey]

that was beautiful....

T^T

[sinbysin666]

I hope Tork gets a bigger role in the next Star Wars Movie/Game/Cartoon. He seems like an interesting characters.

[User90663]

Star Wars had everything: stormtroopers, space battles, light sabers....and then there's Maude!

[TheAustnod]

3:20 is that Michael Myers from Halloween?

[Dalek1230]

make it stop

[troll2hero]

whopper tune bhoys

[dogeymon83]

I thought this movie would be so bad that it would be funny. But it just hurts, painfully. I tried to watch it several times but I can never finish it because it's too painful.

[hebleedsglitter]

I guess the Tatooine watering hole becomes a gay bar after hours, complete with showtunes and Conga lines. Who knew?

[ajlposh]

This and one line Art Carney has are the only good parts of the special

[reecewelch]

@ajlposh is it the part when Art Carney goes "COME AND HELP ME IN THE KITCHEN!" lmao.

[ANZAmoon]

the hive of villiany and scum seems so much cozier now ;p

[ACNC1]

Then they all scooted down to Studio 54 and got down with superman!!

[simpfan666]

This pat is actually quite entertaining.

The rest of the holiday special is pure crap.

[egglady]

RIP Bea, I miss you :)

[raggedyanarchist]

Happy Life Day, everyone!

[potterfanatic2]

While Bea Arthur is awesome and she does somehow make this song good I have just one question... why the hell is there SINGING IN A STAR WARS SPECIAL! I'm not even a fan and I find that incredibly stupid

[jameslarkensmith]

When Bea is the best part of you're holiday special, it's baaad.

[needsecretlink]

LMFAO This is just too funny. The only reason she could have done this is huge money!!!!! A great actress looking very bad!

[CelsoCelso88]

Yes, goodnight Bea, but NEVER goodbye..... * sheds tear*....the worlds a dimmer place without you....

[dsfddsgh]

Why the hell was Maude in this abomination? LOL

[TheEpochFail]

It this was REALLY Star Wars, the guy at 0:05 would have shot Bea right when she started singing.

[helenajesstarzak]

It's Dorothy from The Golden Girls :D

[ZkunOcarina]

Best part of the Star Wars Holiday Special. Other than maybe the Boba Fett cartoon.

Then again, it's not hard to be better than the crappy parts of SW:HS.

[guarddog22]

Ha ha! Love Bea Arthur, but this was so bad. But I know that whole Star Wars Holiday Special is notoriously considered one of the worst things ever shown on TV.

[pardyhardly]

Ugghhhhh..... this like watching a dog puke.

[Timmybear]

It's like an oddly perky Brecht/Weill number.

[atlantascout]

Love your comment JMF

[LordSmog]

I cry with the song

[JustPhilNY]

Why couldn't this special have been just about Bea Arthur? While the idea that the Empire micromanages on this extreme of a level is just as absurd as that shot of the Wookies WALKING THROUGH SPACE...this was better than Wookie Norman Rockwell.

And also...Harvey Korman, no!

[NETWORK23STUDIOS]

This song reminds me of "Those were the days" sung by Mary Hopkins

[wickedfeylady]

@NETWORK23STUDIOS It's like a combo of Mary Hopkins' "Those Were the Days", a Kurt Weill street song, and a Fiddler on the Roof type drinking song.

Nobody fucks with Bea Arthur

[Jimkaider]

Bea shot first.

[DorisDayFanatic]

Hahahaha OMG *dies*

[homeboyje]

No wonder they never released this on video, my balls are gonna have to drop all over again.

[endora721]

Imagine if bea arthur had been in the majority of this.. it would have sucked a lot less. Bea was great.................

[AuslandCharlie]

does anyone know if you can buy this song on itunes?

or anywhere else?

[jeanfou1]

Hey, I think that last alien musician was Kenny G!!!

[Dynaman21]

Poor Bea. This might have been good...had it not been alongside a Wookie family watching porn.

[ConnDevi88]

I added this as the final track of my 50 track Christmas Mix. It's a perfect ending

[KingGekko]

This may be the worst thing the Empire has ever done.

R.I.P. Bea Arthur.

[Akee1990]

RIP Bea.

[mallen92506]

i think this special might have been the beginning of her death. though this song isn't that bad

[Wallystick]

Nostalgia Critic:- "Because when you think Star Wars, you fucking think Bea Arthur!" I still stay to my argument that that should be shirt. :-p

[anton1990]

The best part of the whole special.

[AnthonyEstephane]

@anton1990 a whole lot better than listening to the screeches of those Wookies.

[msromo]

Love the giant space possum

[dknights411]

The Nostalgia Critic was right.  The Star Wars Holiday Special should have been about Bea Arthur as a signing bartender in a cantina on Tatooine.

[buda3d2007]

this video clip was way better then the new trilogy, in fact I'd spawn a whole new series just off this

[DARKMONK2829]

Always, a Classy Lady!!! R.I.P. Pussycat!!!

[DARKMONK2829]

Always, a Classy lady!!! R.I.P

[paperluigiman]

Will someone please tell me where the version of that cantina song I can find????

[cherfansmiling]

Surreeeeeal

[glangorous]

You will never find a more wretched BEA hive of scum and villainy!

[HaloElitesrule]

why does the empire need bea arthur

[Wonderxandra]

She has a secret plot hidden in her hair!

[punkimiko]

She was the only good part in the movie R.I.P

[darkglasses]

I still like this better than the Phantom Menace.

[drcoxcentral]

Merry Christmas....R.I.P. Bea Arthur.

[hdofu]

She was the best part of this special

[orkoni1]

OMG I LOVE BEA, This makes me sad her being gone from this world.

See you in the here after and thank you for being a friend Bea :)

[ConnDevi88]

This is unfortunately the most interesting part of the special.

[conradojavier]

Too Bad the Wookie Family is Hugging the Special.

[ConnDevi88]

Yeah. I actually like her character.

[fizzucker]

The last verse is probably one of the best things Bea Arthur has done in her career. You really feel sorry for her having to close down her Cantina. It's a shame it is attached to such a terrible special.

[nervchemnitz]

Run a tab for the Empire...

[goauld88]

This is too much

i couldn't watch the whole thing

[MichlVal]

Good night but not goodbye Bea Arthur

[chiquin04]

i want the lyrics to this song :(

[JMFabianoRPL]

Shady Pines, Yoda!

[Lover3Quasi]

LOL!!!

[SakuraCourageSolo]

Best. Post. Ever, JMFabianoRPL.

[neowarrior1]

omfg lmao @ JMFabianoRPL

[orkoni1]

@JMFabianoRPL OMG LOL, Ma (estelle Getty) is at peace now.

Well atleast Yoda wont be going to Happy Pastures (worse than shady pines in the series) lol.

[Fieldsfangirl28]

@JMFabianoRPL lol

[XxBlakeCentaurixX]

@JMFabianoRPL AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT's GREAT!!!

[DarkPhantom788]

@JMFabianoRPL The force is strong with you, pussycat XD

[bloodanddajugs]

Also must not be Ponda since he lost his arm by this point.

[whoasuckaa]

This rocked....thanks so much for posting

[ronssexybikerbae]

RIP Bea.

[OopeeShaba]

at least she got to see the new trek film before she left.

rip bea

[tb6006]

Do you think she's dancing with Greedo in Heaven now?

[nate1606gc5]

Maybe... I bet her bar is doing good in heaven :) R.I.P Bea Arthur.

[freetlo]

And that's not Bea Arthur - she's dead.

[lucy3142]

dude, this is from a while ago. God, thanx 4 pointing out the obvious. Bea was amazing.

[Scythemantis]

lol, she JUST died, and you somehow assume that a clip of her on youtube is newer than that? This is from the 70's. Worst comment ever.

[neowarrior1]

1978 to be exact

[silgado106]

Good night Bea, but not goodbye.

[damejayne]

I don't understand why that singing didnt clear the bar!

[RCAvhstape]

Worst. Star Wars. Ever.

[Enzo012]

Whats the deal with the giant hamster?

[DuDeGoRe]

Miss U Bea, U were great! Good night...

[metalpsalm]

Good night, Bea

[bsjt]

It's a crime, friend!

[torontobear73]

Goodnight, and thank you for being our friend.

[greenleaflink]

lol Run a Tab :P

[tierfreund2011]

Gay`s in Germany are sad, too.

Great Woman. RIP

[kidcodea]

heterosexuals also.

what does that say to you dickheads about un-needed sexual preference pride?

[BochsOfficePoison]

your attitude says more about you than the other guy.

dickhead.

[raggedyanarchist]

Bea Arthur was considered a gay icon -- I suppose that's why the reference was made. Anyway, I think gays, straights, and dickheads alike can agree she was something special and will be dearly missed.

[musicaltwin]

Rest in Peace Bea. Your dead makes me really sad :-(

[NarcoticEscape]

I love you Bea! I watch the Golden Girls every day ALL day. Lmao. RIP <3

[shahrukhian]

How sad - we grew up with her..... Rest in Peace dear Lady xoxox

[devosnepsts]

She had an underrated set up pipes on her. RIP, Bea...

[BARONSAMEDI242]

Rest in peace, Bea Arthur.

[Bobbybobby85]

Somehow, I could imagine the cantina actually having a part-time Motherly Bea Arthur type bartender lady like this who is great at public relations. Unlike that Big, grumpy, ugly hairy dude in the Movie. This feels more cannon to me than the prequel trilogy.

[Quickman012]

Run a tab for the Empire.

Godspeed, Bea. Good night, but not good bye.

[MagicEmperor]

Just one more round, Bea.

RIP.

[godwhyisthistaken]

RIP wow didnt even know she did this great special, well the special. I miss you Bea you are in my heart.

[WrytchusAnger]

Goodnight, Bea while we're poorer for your leaving, Heaven is a happier and funnier place. RIP

[drakoboy]

rip bea arthur:(

[FilmsForFustilarians]

Unarguably, her crowning achievement in cinema.

[CandyLV72]

Thank you so much for posting this, we can re-live the special times together.

Thank you, too, Bea!

[countrychick1982]

bea artur and estelle getty is the best on the golden girls RIP Bea and Estelle picture this heaven bea and estelle together again whoa!

[bootneyonelove]

Heartfelt gratitude and love bounced up to the heavens for you Bea. You ruled us with laughs all your life long. I'm a Zbornak too. We'll always be friends and family in a galaxy far, far away!

[darickr]

Right person, wrong project

[catlovermarty]

Betty White is the oldest. She was born in 1922. Bea and Estelle were born in 1923. Rue is much younger; born in Janusry of 1935. So the oldest and the youngest are still alive, lets hope for a long time!

RIP Estelle and Bea.

[king3bsgx]

RIP Bea! :(

[Tonetare]

Oh my god! I just found out the news on Yahoo frontpage. Oh my god. I didn't realize she was 86. I thought she was little younger than that. Just wow! Wasn't she like one of the more younger Golden Girls on that show. How old are the rest of them and how many are living now? Wow!

[msjewel79]

R.I.P

[CameronMcCasland]

R.I.P

[ureallysuckglobes]

[johnnybeane]

RIP Bea Arthur.

[peacelovebrighteyes]

Wow this is amazing!

[blair659]

i love her--she has the midas touch

[MisterSr1240]

hey is that Greedo?! *just kidding*

[sovietnimrod]

Bea Arthur = Darth Maude

[holt2k]

I got HIV just from watching this. No wonder Lucas is so ashamed of the Holiday Special.

[johnjhuff]

??????????????????????????????­?????

[themightycelestial]

My god!!!!!

Bea Arthur.....

probably the most esquisite vision of beauty in the all of the Empire.

[ILOVEBEATRICEARTHUR]

Bea Arthur is the most beautiful person i have ever seen!!!.

[snowball62]

Bea Arthur is the most beautiful person i have ever seen!!!.

[goldengirlsben]

This is more gritty and "Star Wars" to the originals, than the prequels are. Even this laughable holiday special beats the prequels.

[snowball62]

bea, i thought i tell you this for the very last time. i hate you. always have and always will so don't forget. you suck

[iskatel39]

I love you sooo much, my dear, you are the best ever!!!!!!

My dream to meet you. I know, that's impossible, but still...

[iskatel39]

it's like Mama Curage, french one... She is so cool....

[swind15]

This is soooooo awesome!!!

[ottermo]

I think she wore that same outfit on The Golden Girls.

[whsdrama87]

its like the bastard child of Princess Leia and Kurt Weill....love it

[wormpiano]

what in god's name is going on here

[Neonyxia]

No way!  She's beautiful, even now in her old age!

[peeron]

Ackmena was said to be talking with Chalmun (the owner of the cantina) when Obi-Wan and Dr. Evazan duked it out.

[snowwhite218]

i love bea arthur very much. she makes me laugh.

[Dancingfuckface]

Yes, DEFINITELY snuggle with the rat. I love an actress who takes risks.

[1roseprincess]

i love bea arthur. especially in the golden girls. she is so talented. i sent her the best fan letter she has ever recieved- and i know cuz she told me in her letter: DEAR ANDREA, THAT WAS THE BEST FAN LETTER I HAVE EVER RECIEVED. IT WAS SO SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL IT MADE ME CRY. I CANT BELIEVE I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD FAN! (i was six at the time)and there was more to it, but it was like 2 or 3 pages. and she sent me a really cool autograph that said:TO ANDREA WITH MUCH LOVE AND AFFECTION, BEA ARTHUR

[1969diesel]

I met Bea and she touched my cheek... She was pretty neat

[1joker88]

WHAT CHEEK WAS IT!??!

[1969diesel]

she touched my face... imagine if she touched my ass? yikes WOW... it was July 29, 2000... ron

[1joker88]

I meant left or right...

[1969diesel]

i think it was my left

[SecularSavior]

Good lord. This is one of the best things I have ever seen in all my life.

[weatdamal]

BEA IS AMAZING... I LUV HER VOICE... catchy tune lol
