As an old Farker, I can remember watching this as a kid and being amazed that they had the real C-3PO and R2-D2. And when I went to school afterward, that's all ANYONE was talking about.

That, and Donnie and Marie also had a disturbing sexual undercurrent.

/remembers not being sure if they were brother and sister, or husband and wife

Hah! I had precisely the same experience. It's safe to say that Star Wars hit us all pretty squarely in the 10-year-old male demographic, though.

I still find old D & M routines like this both creepy and strangely hot. I have the weirdest boner right now.

The last time I saw that was when it was actually aired when I was a young kid, and I see it is indeed just as embarrassingly awful as I thought it was back then.

I got through the first two and half minutes, and then I just couldn't do it anymore. It just hurt too much.

The sad part is, I looked it up to make sure it was "Alec" with a "c" and McGregor without a "Mac".

UaaaaggahhhHH! I remember this! I remember when it aired, and everyone was all "OOoh, Star Wars stuff! We have to watch!!!"

Then, of course... we did watch.

Horrible, but not quite as horrible as the Star Wars "Thanksgiving/Holiday" special. But horrible.

It wasn't our fault! We only had three channels back then and Wonder Woman wasn't on Fridays yet.

Now they've got 500 channels and people are watching oopma loompa douchebags and rednecks selling used crap to each other

I think I saw something just like that at Universal Studios (LA) in the '80s. That sucked too.

Come to think of it, she was kind of like the Taylor Swift of the 70s

Thurl Ravenscroft. Also the singer of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in Disney's Haunted Mansion. The ride, not the movie.

I remember watching that as a kid. Nothing has changed... I would have given Marie the most disappointing two minutes of her life then, I'd give her the most disappointing two minutes of her life now. And yea, I'm being an optimist with the "two" minutes part.

And THAT is why the variety show is now extinct as a format in American television.

Dr.Zom: What happened to you Kris Kristofferson, you used to be....not cool?

Actually, he WAS doing a lot of drugs (and alcohol) at the time so that may explain part of it. (He was also plugging his then-upcoming movie with Burt Reynolds, Semi-Tough.)
