Anybody seen the Darth Vader Midnight Special appearance with Wolfman Jack? That's another forgotten rarity.

--SKot That's cool! They just released a bunch of Midnight Specials on DVD- I wonder if it's on any of those???

I can't remember too much of it now (I was 6), I remember Vader shouting "Wacko!" (followed by a deep breath). He had a few other lines, but he seemed to just stand around & talk most of the show, not too much "force" action. And I remember a commercial for the special referring to "Darth 'Star Wars' Vader". This was a big deal in the days before sequels,prequels, Holiday Special, etc. Soupy Sales (with Whitefang & Blacktooth) was the best thing about the special.
I don't remember seeing it, but I probably did see it. I never missed a Saturday morning kid's show back then....especially one with Soupy Sales!!! LOL!
