The Muppet Show

The Muppet Show was a TV series which aired in syndication from 1976 to 1981. With a cast of puppets, called Muppets, each show featured a special guest star. The Muppets were designed by The Jim Henson Company, and have been owned by The Walt Disney Company since 2004.

Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Peter Mayhew guest-starred as their respective characters on the show's February 23, 1980 episode, which was four months before the original theatrical release of The Empire Strikes Back. Although the other two men play only their respective Star Wars roles, Hamill plays Luke Skywalker, as well as himself—known as "Luke's cousin."
