Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo I saw the rifftrax version of the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' the other day
They show the whole thing with commercials included (and riffed). What I found most interesting was that there was several pro-union commercials aired during the special.
It seems today those ads have been replaced by commercials for defense contractors such as Boeing or Lockheed Martin.

(5,914 posts)5. Why is there a Rifftrax version of this?
I mean, that special is pretty much a laff riot as it is, isn't it?
Why would someone feel like they need to provide a separate track of jokes to get other people to laugh at it?
Isn't that like shooting fish in a barrel? Isn't that sort of "easy comedy"? What could Rifftrax add to it?
