Sesame Street - Near & Far

The classic skit from 1975 where Grover (Frank Oz) demonstrates the difference between near and far. This is one of those segments that people always seem to remember clearly, regardless of how many years ago they last saw it.

I saw Empire Strikes Back in the movie theater in 1980. I had read a magazine article beforehand and read that Frank Oz was going to be performing this new character Yoda...the article also had pictures of the character. Even so, I was really surprised just how much he sounded like Grover in that first scene where he meets Luke. Less so later on when he revealed himself and started acting serious.
