Donny Osmond as Luke Skywalker.. Kris Kristopherson as Han Solo.. Singing and dancing Stormtroopers?


Wait a tick was this from The Donny And Marie Show, or was this something else entirely.. Anybody know? Who do you think provided the costumes and props for them? Check out that improvised female Stormtrooper costume that they mix in behind the group at :25 secs..

Yes this was from Donny and Marie. I actually saw this when it aired.

I would take Marie Osmond in that Leia outfit any day! She is friggin' HOT!

The trooper costume were originals, as of course were 3PO, R2 and Chewie. Luke, Leia, and Han, obviously not.

I remember watching that when it aired.

Frightening now, but it was all we had back then.

Marie is HOT! And five bucks says Kristopherson smelled like WEED.

I like the guy who wrote It's still better than Phantom Menace - so true!

I saw this when it aired too and I loved it. Red Foxx was Obi Wan. And Paul Lynn - yes PAUL LYNN as Tarkin

Lynde.
I probably saw this when it aired, as we actually watched all of those horrid 70s variety shows, and I never missed anything Star Wars.
Vader's voice is Thurl Ravenscroft of Tony the Tiger and Grinch (singing) fame.
This was the period between movies in which Threepio had silver on the wrong leg.

It's still not as horrifying as that French variety show posted a while back:

Yup- totally remember this as a kid- was glued to my television set, and probably disappointed that it was only on one time.

That and the Holiday Special were like heroin to me in the years between ANH and ESB. :lol

Too bad SW doesn't have that effect on me anymore. :rolleyes

The way they were rubbing each other, I thought it was going to turn into a Star Wars orgy.

Strange thing is, Donnie & Marie are brother & sister playing Luke & Leia. Nobody knew they'd be related in Star Wars too.

Yeah, she was.

I like the female Go-Go Troopers. What helmet did they have?

I love the McCarthy-esqe introduction to the full video:

Donny and Marie Start Wars Part 1 and 2


A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
There was an evil force at work to destroy the values by which
decent people lived. Values like: Patriotism, Cleanliness, Thrift,
and good Dental Hygene.

Did the evil force win the battle?

Thants for us to know and you to find out.


It's cool that you guys remember this, it was a little before my time. I do remember watching all the Ewok Adventures specials with some fervor..
