1* FridgeBrilliance: Luke refuses to be part of "a third rate variety show". [[Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial Really, Luke?]] (Admittedly, this might have been part of the joke, since this episode was filmed almost a year after that unfortunate incident.)
2* HilariousInHindsight:
3** The closing number, in which Franchise/TheMuppets and the Franchise/StarWars cast sing [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} "When You Wish Upon a Star"]] against a Disneyland-like backdrop, is funnier now that Disney owns both franchises.
4** Luke Skywalker being Mark Hamill's cousin inadvertently foreshadows ''Star Wars''' famed [[LukeIAmYourFather family revelations]] mere months before ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' was released (Luke is even wearing the costume he wears during that reveal).
5*** Speaking of family revelations, Miss Piggy tries to cozy up to Luke by dressing as Leia, long before ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' revealed the two were siblings.
6** Mark demonstrates his ability to do voice imitations in one scene. Many years later, voice acting was to become his bread and butter.
7*** Mark decides to show off as a dancing singer before ending it with a bad joke and impression of Fozzie Bear, which didn't get a laugh from Kermit the Frog. Almost like [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker a failed comedian]]. Even better, his hat and cane does bear reminiscent of Joker's outfit when he sings "[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke I Go Looney]]".
8** One of the sheep in "Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong" has cream-coloured wool and purple eyes, making her look a lot like a sheep version of [[Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure Latte]].
