@@drewgeraci8434 To be honest, the first girl I had a crush on was a blonde Canadian girl in second grade in Vienna, Austria, who was my classmate.

Olivia was always a feast for the ears AND eyes. And because she'd had MANY years of experience as an actress, she was quite good, and had GREAT comic timing - as can be seen here. She was an absolute treasure, and she is missed.

@@Ometecuhtli That too! Especially coming from Mark here, the one who decades later would deliver the bad news before The Last Jedi was released. I've never seen anyone campaign like that to tank a movie they were envolved in. But we know why he did that.

this would have been one skit in a Bob Hope TV Special. Maybe more of Olivia, Perry Como, and Mark Hamill, but I doubt anything else star Wars related. I don't remember seeing this. I would have been probably 11 (if aired in 1978) and was/am an Olivia junkie. I can't believe I never saw this.

“A credit card force.” LMFAO! Loved that Olivia couldn’t help but crack-up. With her hair tied back, Olivia probably had the most kissable face in The Universe.
7:00 I wonder if Lumpy Space Princess had any visual inspiration from here. The costume design of “singular uniform shade of purple with added star” seems familiar
I will never get over how cute Olivia was. RIP.
yeah she was... unfortunately I was born in 1977 so I missed these days :)
Well she was cute even when she got older. Phenomenal talent and beautiful woman.
Cute, beautiful, amazing, and should I dare say sexy at times?

@@YodatheHobbit What do you mean, a "gimmick?" It\'s a comedy skit, that's all.

Prophetic
@@Ometecuhtli That too! Especially coming from Mark here, the one who decades later would deliver the bad news before The Last Jedi was released. I've never seen anyone campaign like that to tank a movie they were envolved in. But we know why he did that.
It isn't often Perry Como did comedy. The nostalgia is strong with this one.
"You are under arrest for Malicious Mutilation of a Marvellous Movie!" - Mark Hamill should have brought the LA police force to Disney instead...
That's for sure
Exactly right
If not the GOAT, Bob Hope was one the goats of comedy.
This is great. It's like watching The Carol Burnett Show with Harvey and Tim
This was very enjoyable and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this content 😊
This was really funny to watch even in 2024. Comedy is always funny. 😆♥

That joke is extremely dark and mature, if you know the movie.
This Luke is more accurate that what most of Dizney did
WOW. Is there more of this?
This is so much better than most of "modern" Star Wars...
this would have been one skit in a Bob Hope TV Special. Maybe more of Olivia, Perry Como, and Mark Hamill, but I doubt anything else star Wars related. I don't remember seeing this. I would have been probably 11 (if aired in 1978) and was/am an Olivia junkie. I can't believe I never saw this.
Of course there's no more; it's a frigging comedy skit. And it isn't "Star Wars" at all; it's "Scar Wars."
I never met her in person, but I really miss her, and her talent, beauty and charm.
Princess Olivia is having a little too much fun there 😂
I saw this when it was first on TV. Campy as hell then, campy as hell now. Laughed then, laughed now.
This is much better then Star Wars Acolyte.
Omg Bob just cracks everyone up
this is so hilarious i love this and Bob Hope always one of my alltime faves too
In London Star Wars just opened when this was made for TV, went to a midnight screening that December.
Haven't we suffered enough? But seriously, a fascinating look-back into the time & place. I miss Olivia
I remember watching this with my parents in the 70 when Star Wars came out. Great times to be a kid, and Hollywood wasn't weird. Everyone could watch shows like these when they weren't a freak show.
When the grandkids write a script and make grandpa and the uncles preform. 😂😂😂
Oh wow i haven't seen this sketch since the 1970s as a kid
That spike on Bob's helmet just about brings him up to Dave Prowse's height!
Great to see Olivia.🕊💙
When Hollywood was Great, All the Wonderful Talent of those times; at least we can hold their memories on film (ok a computer chip) and in our hearts.
I love how they can't stop laughing lol
Thing is, I probably saw this back then, but i have no memory of it. Genuinely funny, but then, you know, Bob Hope.
Amature.s !! Amatures all! They could barely keep it together. Superb performance !
But the truth is RIP Olivia Newton John of 2024, she will actually be missed
Very entertaining to watch! Thank you for posting this! Subscribed!
Fun how Olivia has her hair in almost the same style as Rey's in the new Star Wars movies. Also this is hilairous.
Exactly my thought. Wonder if they had seen this when deciding on her style.
They were lucky to act in a comedy skit with such an extraordinary Woman such as Olivia Newton- John.
This is great so much pure fun,Olivia is so fine and gorgeous although the princess outfit is not worn as Leia had worn it but that would have been a definate plus.The improvisations of Bob hope made everyone not be able to keep a straight face,how have i not seen this over the years ?!
"not worn as Leia had worn it?" I don't understand.
Mark Hamill surprised guest in that skit. Did a good job.
I'm glad I waited till the end. Lol funny show btw.
Simple fun. Glad to have seen it.

Scar Wars A New Bob Hope
I like when they try not to laugh. Those were the days when comedy was really funny.
Now that is comedy gold, I couldn't help myself, so funny!
This is one example of how huge of a deal Star Wars was in 1977.
This was ahead of its time. This seems to be the template for the greatest spoof movie of all time - 1987’s Spaceballs.
- Especially the Darth Vader and Princess Leia characters.
I'm soooooo glad most of my life was during the 20th century.... I was 12 years old in 1977
She was a goddess!!!!
Oh boy... this is almost as good as the Bob Hope Christmas special.
Beautiful Olivia 🥰
Dam I remember that white phone from the 70,s lol
love Bob Hope
always a good laugh
Good God!! Olivia Newton-John was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Olivia Newton John, had a major crush on her 😊❤
Oh wow...5:31, "This is a light saber!" I actually owned one of those. It was basically flashlight shining into a white plastic tube.
My lovely Olivia..God I miss her.
Well this is way better than the accolyte 😂😂😂😂
Everyone is having a good time! Some lines were ad lib’d (?) Very well written
“A credit card force.” LMFAO!

It's sad that we can no longer be entertained by these stars. Yes, I mean all of them.
Ooo, scathing.
NICE MARK REALLY WAS HERE!!??!!! Too cool!!!
Mark probably couldn't resist. After I saw his appearance on The Muppet Show, I figured he loved showing off his comedic side.
@@shuboy05 Nobody would have passed up the opportunity to work with Bob Hope! 🙂
@@MaskedMan66 Agreed!
Much better plot and script than the Disney Star Wars movies/shows.
That was actually pretty funny! We can all use more laughs nowadays. Thanks!
Before Leia and Vader were related, they were apparently trying to get related 😅
Thats better then the Star Wars Parts 7-9.
I had no recollection of seeing this in 1977 until Olivia said "Trash Gordon." Funny the things that jog your memory.
Olivia.. miss you and will see you.
That was really cute. They were obviously having a blast too!
The Muppet episode featuring Star Wars characters was more my scene but this provoked the odd smirk.
Better than most of Disney Star Wars.
I had that knock-off "Force Blade" as a kid.
This was fantastic ❤
This is actually cooler than any new Star Wars live action by Disney 😁😆
So this is where modern Saturday Night Live learned that it was okay to laugh at your own jokes.
I thought the Star Wars Christmas Special was bad. I guess people would laugh at literally anything back then.
The only thing I remember from this skit is Hope singing I'm the Pits and Mark Hamill having him arrested at the end.
Last time I saw this, it was a rerun on a black &white television.
I wouldn't have read her name, I probably wouldn't have recognized Olivia Newton - John😮😂❤
7:00 I wonder if Lumpy Space Princess had any visual inspiration from here. The costume design of “singular uniform shade of purple with added star” seems familiar
Epsiode 5 of the Acolyte! They wish...
I literally never saw this. And ONJ was obviously gorgeous yet also too shook up to avoid breaking character, lol. 😂
I have no idea what's going on, I'm just here for Olivia Newton-John in that princess dress.
Olivia was so beautiful.
