âThose are lightsabers!â â I cry into a 37 year gap.
is this the inspiration for the chris farley show interview character?
And a Magnum is a gun.
In other news, Majik Market is gone:
I grew up in SD; never heard of these (MM, not laser-swords).
Now that, folks, is some quality merch shilling. All intensity, no subtlety. But yes, like Chentzilla, I too cry for the subtraction of Star Wars mythos through base mispronunciation.
I still have one of these. The version with Obi Wan and Darth Vader duelling.
What I wouldnât give to see a Bobby Moynihan re-creation of this.
Whatâs really tragic about this is that he seems to be attempting to leverage his own distant and nearly forgotten memories of âenjoymentâ into his act.

Coming Soon: revised Special Edition where mention of Luke and Leia kissing has been replaced with a dancing Jar Jar.
Strikes me as more like Buddy Hackett than Danny Devito. And yes, I like laser swordsâŚ
I had to look twice to make sure this wasnât Buddy Hackett. Sounds like him too!
To me heâs feigning feigning excitement
Wall Street?
I think the âlassos that thingâ line is even more funny. I cannot imagine any kid relating to that guy unless heâs some kind of longstanding regional TV personality.
Rich Fulcher, paging Rich Fulcher, we have a role for Mister Rich FulcherâŚ
I hope they brought him back to do an THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK promo.
âRemember that time when Darth Vader cut off Lukeâs hand and then he was all, âIâm your father!â and stuff?â
