Episode 256 - The Muppets / Star Wars Connection

We all know Muppets and Star Wars go together like a bowl of peanut
butter and M&M's but how did this all come about? How did the
wizardry of George Lucas and the magic of Jim Henson combine and
change both of thier creations? Join us as we explore the long and
connected history of Star Wars and The Muppets and we take a very
close look at the time Luke Skywalker and the droids traveled to a
"Comedy Variety Show Planet" known as The Muppet Show in search of
Chewbacca! PLUS: what does Tony Danza have to do with it and was
there ever a George Lucas muppet? It's time to play the music and
it's time to light the lights! Listen today and celebrate the love
