Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡

This week on Radical Retro Rewind?!, Radical Ones, we’re taking a slight detour through Star Wars Summer… because somehow the galaxy far, far away crashed straight into The Muppet Show! Ryan and David unexpectedly find themselves on a variety show planet where Jedi, frogs, pigs, droids, and one extremely disappointed gargling gargoyle all compete for the spotlight.

Can Luke Skywalker convince everyone that Mark Hamill is merely his “cousin”? Will Kermit ever forgive the Star Wars crew for stealing his show? Can R2-D2 finally fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a performer? And will poor Angus McGonagle, the Argyle Gargoyle who gargles Gershwin gorgeously, ever get to finish a single song?

Join us as we celebrate one of the strangest, funniest, and most beloved television crossovers ever made, featuring Muppet mayhem, Pigs in Space, sheep singing doo-wop, Chewbacca being kidnapped by “a bunch of weird turkeys,” and enough backstage chaos to make Mos Eisley look organized.

“The episode begins with Luke, C-3PO, and R2-D2 smashing through the Muppet Theatre wall in search of Chewbacca, who has been “Wookiee-napped” by Gonzo, parodying a villain named Dearth Nadir Fandom Fandom +1 . Kermit initially struggles to manage the chaos, while Miss Piggy steps in as Princess Leia during the Swinetrek space adventure Fandom Fandom . Mark Hamill’s character performs musical numbers, adding a comedic contrast to Luke’s heroic presence IMDb IMDb . The episode blends Star Wars action with Muppet humor, including classic gags like C-3PO being called “hardware” by Miss Piggy."

Stars: Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, Jim Henson, Jack Burns, Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz.
