    Wow! I’m not sure if that was worth watching, even for the lulz. Lame choreograhy! Shocking CGI! And why only C3PO and Lord Vadar? Maybe the hire shop didn’t have any other cossies.

    French television. It’s almost up there with Japan.

    Good grief!! I thought Italian TV was pretty crap, but this piece leaves them for dead. Memorably bad.
    But like Alison, I’m not sure it was actually worth pain of levering my jaw off the ground.

    Nah, Italian TV is worse. I loved the little Charlston vignette.

    The spirit of the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special lives on!

    It seems this is a show from the 70’s by the groovy fashion of the presenters. And fact that most of the audience is kids shows just how important it would be to the executives who commissioned this show. Also, is it just me, or do some of the C3-PO’s have unusual lower ‘bulges’ that reveal a little more than what was on the original film? No, I’m sure it’s just me!

    Looks like something from the late 70s or early 80s, I remember having hair and jumpers like that.

    We were also playing Space Invaders back then, why not compare that with the latest PS3 game while we’re at it.

    Given these hilarious ‘videos of the day’ by Crikey to lighten up our day, I’ll probably view most of their attempted ‘analysis’ and political commentary in the same light from now on. Like so-called ‘current affairs’ tabloid shows and the tabloid ‘news’, it seems it’s all about entertainment these days. C’mon Crikey, more inexplicable stories about planes and airlines running their businesses, I can’t get enough of those. Saturation level, s’il vous plait…
