Jen used the Force to watch the original :)

They're in the Death Star now. Obi-wan just bumped into Darth. I have a vivid memory of the first time seeing that scene in the theater as a kid trying to figure out who would win. I said to myself, "Obi-wan can't win because then the villain would be dead and the movie would be over. But Darth can't win. . .can he?" That was a shock!

Original Air Date: September 12, 1997

Guest Stars: Mark Hamill, Bill Mumy

[SNIP]

Mark Hamill (MH):(appears on studio monitor)

Uh, it's Mark Hamill here.

Space Ghost (SG):

Whoa! Look who's here, young people! It's none other than Duke Fartknocker!

Moltar (M):

Luke Skywalker!

SG:

Luke Skytopper of the popular "Space War" science fiction mega-empire franchise.

MH:

Uh, I think it's much more along the lines of a fairy tale than it is straightforward science fiction.

SG:

Whatever, professor. How's Chewwy?

MH:

Chewwy? Well, you know...

SG:

(laughs) You and me both!

MH:

(stares back)

SG:

But seriously, Mark... (very quietly) was it scary working with Lord Vader?

M:

(making Darth Vader breathing noises)

MH:

James Earl Jones is just such a gifted person, and-

Zorak (Z):

Prowse.

SG:

Eh?

Z:

David Prowse. He played Vader in the movie version, not Jones.

MH:

(laughs) Hey, I said a dirty word.

Z:

Oh, you did, pal!

M:

David Prowse! Are you joking? If this is a joke, I'm not laughing.

Z:

Prowse is the true Lord Vader!

M:

Prowse? Blpblpblp! He was a figurehead! It is Jones who is the true Vader!

Z:

Answer me this, Moltar: who patrolled the galleys of the Death Star?

M:

The ewoks!

SG:

(laughs)

MH:

(laughs)

Z:

Don't patronize me, bantha fodder!

M:

Well, if you consulted your handbook, you would know it was the storm troopers.

Z:

Yes, of course, but who led them, Moltar? Huh? Who led 'em? Refresh my memory on this one, if you please!

M:

(silent)

Z:

Would that be Pr... Pr.. Pr.. Pro-w-w-w-w-wse?

M:

Prowse, but he-

Z:

Exactly!

M:

But-

Z:

Exactly, Moltar! That's exactly what I thought!

SG:

Hey, what do you fellas think of those Ghostbusters?

Z:

(stares back)

SG:

You think they'd scare me because I'm, you know, I'm a ghost.

MH:

(stares back)

SG:

I mean, hey, Zorak, who ya gonna call?

Z:

I'm gonna call you an idiot.

SG:

What!

Z:

You heard me! Mouth breather!

("Star Wars" type music begins playing in background)

Voice (V):

Trust in your feelings, Tad. Use the powerbands!

SG:

(blast Zorak with destructo ray; music ends)

SG:

(to Mark) Wouldn't be interested in a new career as a sidekick, would you?

MH:

Well, you know, I, uh, it beats Ed McMahon.

SG:

I must warn you, you would be required to laugh at the outrageously hilarious antics of a talk show in outer space!

MH:

(in Ed McMahon voice) Ho ho ho ho, yes! (normal voice) I can do that.

SG:

I like your attitude, Hamill. Come in Monday for paperwork.

MH:

(in Ed McMahon voice) Ho ho ho ho, yes!

SG:

(laughs) Whoa, save some for the convention, buddy!

MH:

(in Ed McMahon voice) Ho ho ho ho, yes!

SG:

(stares back)

MH:

(clears his throat)

SG:

So, what do you do at these conventions? Do you, say, show how you ate breakfast on Tattooine? Is it Tattooine?

MH:

Oh, me eating cereal would be (makes slurping sounds through his hands)

SG:

Hmmm, impressive.

M:

This is just sad.

(Monitor shows huge block of impossible to read but possibly French text)

SG:

That's amazing, Mark. Would you bring your imaginary bowl of cereal to my convention?

MH:

That'd be great, if I'm, um, in your galaxy, I'll stop on by.

SG:

Great! Then I'll see you at "Space Ghost Con '97".

MH:

Thank you so much for having me. (image fades from monitor)

Z:

I don't know, he sounded iffy.

SG:

That's not the Luke Skytopper I know!

Z:

You don't know Luke Skywalker!

SG:

Can you ever really know a man, Zorak? (syrupy music swells in background) I mean, sure, you can know what he does, where he lives, the way his hair smells in the morning after a brief rain... (music stops) Wait a second! I've got to buy supplies for (begin echo effect) "Space Ghost Con '97"! (end echo) (flies off to office supply store, enters by crashing through ceiling) What a selection! You don't have to be a superhero to appreciate these super-savings!

M:

(to Mark, on control room monitor) (impersonating James Earl Jones) "This is CNN."

MH:

(laughs)

M:

Oh, and, uh, "Luke, I am your father."

MH:

(laughs)

M:

Did you get to sign my helmet yet? Uh, "son"?

MH:

Yeah, I signed it.

M:

It was great having you at our "Sci-Fi Con", man.

MH:

Thanks so much.

M:

You're not, really going to "Space Ghost Con", are you?

MH:

No, no, no, I was, I was workin' and I have another job after this, actually.
