Beyond shark-jumping....

Lucas won't "allow" the release of the oft-maligned "Holiday Special" but this gets a pass?

This goes way beyond just jumping the shark...the shark's been cut up and is now sizzling on the grill....

Watching this makes me embarrassed to be a SW fan.....watch and prepare to cringe.

You're a b'strd for finding that and an even worse villain for sharing.

I love those. Nothing beats Vader's "Thriller" performance though.

Go chewie! Go chewie! Go chewie! Hahahaha

I just wanted to share the pain...

I don't think a Sith Lord cutting up all the little kids with lightsabers on Star Wars Weekends would've necessarily been a better attraction for a theme park.

El Chewbaccabra :chew

I must pretend I didn't see that. I must pretend I didn't see that. I must pretend I didn't see that.

I didnt think Lucas could make Vader suck harder....but he did. Thanks.

Am I really the only one who thought it was funny?

Drama queens, all of ya!

The Holiday Special was several orders of magnitude worse than this. I actually thought this was really cute.

Just looks like good fun for the family.
The holiday special you have to watch through the gaps in your fingers

This would have been fun to stumble across while visiting Disneyland with the kids. My son would eat it up.

My soul is crying

it was kinda funny and at the same time all kinds of suck. Lightsaber hilt microphones should have been my first sign but watching the Spice Girls done was downright painful. I will say this Vader can really move. It doesn't surprise though the original trilogy told a fairy tale aimed to adults while the prequel trilogy told a very adult tale suddenly aimed to kids, Clone Wars seems all aimed towards kids with this just more of a move towards being pushed into the kid realm.

Jawas dance like white people.

Zam Wessel was pretty hot and the Aurra Sing costume was quite impressive.

This seems like it'd be a fun show for kids to see. It doesn't make my soul cry anymore than some of the scenes from the prequels did.

I don't know why some people are so shocked by this. Star Wars has had this sort of silly thing since the very beginning. In my opinion, that's part of the charm. The Holiday Special is often singled out (and rightly so) but there were all kinds of stuff in a similar vein. This is actually way better than most of that stuff, because it doesn't feature the original actors and is obviously just a goofy stage show for kids.

Nope, I think it's hilarious!

Doesn't this type of thing take place during Star Wars Weekends at Disney World?

I would pay extra for it.
