Star Wars Holiday Special: 25 WTF Moments

19. Darth Vader's "Cameo"

Darth Vader appears for a 16-second cameo, as an officer informs him that they're closing in on the rebels, and Vader delivers his single line: "I want the rebels located and identified if it means searching every household in the system."

Considering the effort the production went to to shove James Earl Jones into a recording booth (while the video itself is actually recycled from a New Hope, with the officer's dialogue badly dubbed over), you'd think they might wanna milk this a little more, no?

Maybe an awesome monologue or something? Apparently not.
