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.)

@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
