What. The heck. Am I seeing?

I mean, I know it's The Muppet Show, but what I don't understand is why.

One of the episodes had Mark Hamil appear, as both Luke and himself. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_417:_Star_Wars (Our page)

I find it hilarious that I pointed out the similarity between the Star Wars Holiday Special and The Muppet Show, but it's still receiving this sort of "what?"

[up]

I am assuming that this little interlude with Statler and Waldorf is both the characters commenting on the oddity of what they just seen and a meta commentary on the (expected) reactions from the readers of the comic.

Given that we know one of the head writers is One of Us and has even posted in this thread occasionally, I wonder if the "I wonder if they're actually improvising this behind-the-scenes" line is a direct reference to me, specifically, since I've made that exact guess twice now.

Just so long as someone eventually blows up the theater, I wont mind.

No, but I think they're going to march on Disney Castle.

That's a dangerous business. They got Keybladers there.

At the risk of ruining it, the most recent strip isn't just expected reactions from the audience. At least some of them are based on actual reactions from the site's forum, and a couple other places too.

Here's the forum discussion for the strip, where multiple people go "ooh I said this!"

I totally forgot there's an official forum, though even there, someone pointed out that some of the quotes are from other forums.

Paving the way for Episode VIII, I see...

Oh, lord. That hadn't occurred to me until you pointed it out. Given how long it'll take them to get to that scene in Ep. VIII, it'll be one of the longest cases of foreshadowing in webcomics.

By the way, anybody here playing a Star Wars tabletop RPG? So far, I've been playing two.

Edit: [up]I doubt it will beat 8-Bit Theater's four white mages.

They've been subtle, using Yoda's speech patterns and obscurely admitting the truth before now.

Even in the midst of all that silliness, they are still putting a lot of thought into it.
