Featuring all the original actors (who likely weren't sure they'd ever work again at this point) **<br /><br />I was a big fan of the original Star Wars -- in '77-'78 I probably saw it in theaters 10 times. One memory of that time in TV land, was that Mark Hamill had been in the pilot episode of "Eight is Enough" as the oldest son when it was on as a summer special, then replaced by Grant Goodeve when the series started because (paraphrased)"he'd just completed an obscure sci-fi picture and wasn't sure if he'd have time for a series in case it was a hit". Then Mark Hamill had his accident & facial injuries prior to the next movie. And "Eight is Enough" (starring Dick VanPatten) had a multi-year run but also had tragedy, when the actress playing the brood's mother died and the episodes were retaped with the lines given out to some of the oldest girls.

Do you really need to put a Star Wars commercial pop-up in the TV screen during the Kimmel Show?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-2542443574032735302015-12-15T14:13:21.629-05:002015-12-15T14:13:21.629-05:00Comment total yesterday 15, today 4, I think we ha...Comment total yesterday 15, today 4, I think we have turned the corner on Star Wars.Packerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790343423937405624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-54923096208891028532015-12-15T12:21:40.928-05:002015-12-15T12:21:40.928-05:00"I find your lack of talent disturbing."..."I find your lack of talent disturbing." <br /><br />-- Darth Vader, the one and only time he was invited to be a celebrity judge on "The Gong Show."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-47780949571089340192015-12-15T12:09:41.690-05:002015-12-15T12:09:41.690-05:00"Life Day", I hadn't realized that t..."Life Day", I hadn't realized that the "Christmas Wars" had begun so long ago already (sigh)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-6518314033694878832015-12-15T11:51:00.960-05:002015-12-15T11:51:00.960-05:00I was 15 and male - the target audience.
