Attention #GenX Star Wars fans. As you know, Donnie & Marie Osmond had a variety show & they made a bit back in 1977 during the height of #StarWars mania that is maximum #cringe. (Accidentally stumbled upon this from Fluke Skywalker & FoundFootageFest. Anyway, I saw it and now you have to too.)
@kurtsh THIS IS WHAT RIAN JOHNSON STOLE FROM US!!
@zippy1981 This may be the best Mastodon post ever and I AM HERE FOR IT! πŸ˜‚
@kurtsh You say β€œcringey,” I say β€œfabulous!”
@juniperdisco I agree! Fabulous... as in, "OMG look at that fabulous 12-car-pile-up-car-crash-on-the-Interstate-must-rubberneck-can't-look-away" #sorrynotsorry 🀣
@kurtsh πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ still … it has Chewbacca! AND choreography!!
@juniperdisco Indeed. I can't find the lie here. πŸ˜‚

@kurtsh Here's 12 minutes of this 70's goodness.

@fratm Here's 12 minutes of this 70's horror show. #ftfy πŸ˜‚
@fratm @kurtsh I thought I recognized that beard. That's Kris Kristofferson as Knock off Han Solo.
Were those costumes and R2 just available to rent between movies?
@3DPProfessor @kurtsh Pretty cool, right? I mean yes it is 70s cheesieness, but man it was cool. As for the costumes, probably. When they got permission to do the skits, they probably asked to borrow the costumes, well except for the sexy lady troopers, I think those were custom made.

@fratm @3DPProfessor re: "well except for the sexy lady troopers... I think those were custom made."

UH, Y'THINK? 🀣

But of course, it goes without saying that they're for clearly TK-class troopers, amirite my nerdsquad? 😁 #StarWars #isitcanon #jointheempire

@fratm @3DPProfessor BTW: San Jose Sharks rule. (Signed a Bay Area transplant in Los Angeles.)
@3DPProfessor @fratm Or...OR... is Han Solo a knock-off of Kris Kristofferson, hmm? πŸ˜‚ #deepthoughts #jackhandy
@kurtsh I... think I've already seen it. Aiiee

@Strange_Bundle I'm so sorry. I'm sure there's a support group for people like us.

In the meantime, perhaps I may interest you in a stream of the #Windows 95 video guide starring Jennifer Aniston & Matthew Perry? #cringe #sorrynotsorry

@kurtsh Wow.
Chewy does not have any moves. Is Han being played by Kris Kristofferson?
@robhumenik Wow... good eye. Yes, that's Kris Kristofferson alright. Hilarious, eh?
@kurtsh thank you for this early Christmas gift!
@kurtsh
It was never going to be good, was it?
@Foxglove I'll admit to getting quite a kick out of stuff that makes my jaw drop involuntarily. πŸ˜‚
