A Star is Bored. She needs a galaxy named in her honor!

One of the highlights of early SNL - and don’t forget John Belushi as Eric Von Zipper!

For more context this aired almost a year and a half after Star Wars premiered.
The Blues Brothers were the musical guest. Their third overall appearance.
Carrie makes a reference to Jabba the Hut despite nobody really knowing what he looked like until 5 years later.

Lol I remember Gilda’s line: “I’m Annette, this is Frankie and these are my breasts”. 😂

Every year we went to a big party hosted by Carrie Fisher and Penny Marshall whose birthdays were within a week of each other. I miss both of my friends.

Jesus. It’s easy to forget how young she was when she died.
