Well then Muppet fans The Muppets have met a bunch of celebrities through various TV shows , movies and specials but very rarely have they met actual characters from a movie , TV show or special. Well the episode of The Muppet Show that i'm about to review for you all tonight is one case where characters from a pre-existing franchise crossed over to meet the The Muppets and so join me as I review the episode that is proof that the Star Wars characters can be funny with the episode in question being called simply just The Muppet Show "Mark Hamill" AKA The Muppet Show "The Stars Of Star Wars" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is after already booking a guest star for this episodes show C-3PO , R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker come bursting in through a wall in order to find Chewbacca and it's up to Kermit to make sure that the show runs as smoothly as it possibly can be / do. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the plot of this episode was really freaking good since the plot of this episode was also very freaking entertaining and it did a a good job of having the Star Wars characters be introduced into the story in a way that felt naturel and organic and not freaking forced as all heck in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Guest starring in this episode is Mark Hamill as himself and as Luke Skywalker , Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. Also starring in this very episode is Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Link Hogthrob , Waldorf and The Newsman , Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Miss Piggy , Animal and Shark , Jerry Nelson as Angus McGonagle , Dr. Julius Strangepork , Floyd Pepper , Robin The Frog, Eel and The Announcer , Richard Hunt as Scooter , Statler , Janice and The Shepherd , Dave Goelz as Gonzo and Zoot , Louise Gold as Mother Fish , Steve Whitmire as Sheep and Kathy Mullen as Others.
Now then in terms of what I thought about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was actually really freaking good. This is something which shouldn't come as a surprise to absolutely anybody since all of those that are starring / appearing / acting in this very episode always turn out / in some really good performances that is something that continues with this very episode in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this episode might have predicted the Disney buyout of both the The Muppets franchise and Lucasfilm. Since the ending segment / sketch for this episode has Mark Hamill singing "When You Wish Upon A Star" with a bunch of Muppets and Star Wars characters all the while a parody version of a Disney comes up from from the background this might just be a coincidence tho in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then the one thing that I wasn't really expecting to see in this episode was for me to see a much more lighter side of what are otherwise alot more serious Star Wars characters. Like for example we get to see C-3PO , R2-D2 and Chewbacca break into a impromptu dance number which in all honesty had me wondering how in the heck they actually filmed C-3PO's part of the dance but it was still something that was very entertaining to see play out in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then I do have some negative things to say about this episode the first of which being the fact that Chewbacca just comes out of nowhere. Which was bit underwhelming since they spend the entire episode stating the fact that Chewbacca has been captured by a Darth Vader look alike and parody and yet they just have him appear literally out of nowhere in the final part of the final sketch for this episode which just felt like a huge freaking let down of a really funny idea in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very freaking fully admit that I was left wondering how in the heck that they even achieved some of the shots that they got in this episode. Since the technology just wouldn't have been there for them to do edit one shot over another and if you know your Star Wars history then you'll know that Anthony Daniels couldn't even sit down in the C-3PO suit / costume and so I have no idea how in the heck that got the C-3PO costume to be as flexible as it is in this episode of this very show but that just goes to show you how much of technical wonder Jim Henson was since he's coming up with things that no one's even thought of or even attempted to do before him in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this very episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and twenty eight seconds and well in all honesty i in all honesty really did think / feel that this very episode could have been alot longer. This is simply because of the fact that I was having such a good time watching the episode that I in all honesty didn't want this very episode to end and that will always be a good thing in my books in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this episode is an episode of a comedy show after all that means that I have to talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was really pretty bad. This is simply because there are very little no actual laugh out loud moments in this very episode which for the The Muppets and The Muppets in their prime is always going to be a very , very bad thing in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this episode was a very mixed episode of The Muppet Show for me personally since even tho there were alot of really good and alot of really funny things going within this episode there was also alot of really bad things that were going on within this very episode as well in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good things and all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such this means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
