Wow, what a great episode!
I thought Mark Hamill was the best guest star we've seen in this series. It actually sort of reminded me of Tim Conway's episode in The New Scooby-Doo Movies in several ways, between it taking place at a high school, some of Hamill's jokes and mannerisms, and even down to them hiding in a recycle bin (well, okay, the original episode was in a trash can, but hey, you gotta upgrade for the 21st century, right? haha). Mark Hamill added a great presence to this episode, and I thought his acting was on-point. He genuinely seemed really passionate about the role, which I don't think we've necessarily seen from all the guest stars. I liked all the references to Star Wars, the joke about Shaggy having the $1,000,000 personal check from Hamill, and even down to his Joker laugh. The references to old episodes like the Wonder Woman one and the Batman one showed how much care was put into this episode, which was refreshing as we've gotten some subpar ones in this series. The nostalgia also felt much more genuine in this one, rather than forced like it has in many episodes. The villain was quite odd looking, but pretty creepy (I find bugged-out eyes to be particularly creepy!). He looked like something out of an anime! When it was first announced, I was thinking the fox monster was going to be the school mascot, but interestingly he wasn't. I felt the character interactions were pretty decent for the most part, besides the one sort of awkward bit where Velma loses her glasses. I loved the school in Japan as a location too! Just added to the creepy vibe. So this is gonna surprise y'all, but here's the updated scoreboard. We have a new top episode! Star-Studded Scoreboard: 1. The Sword, The Fox and the Scooby-Doo! 2. Elementary, My Dear Shaggy! 3. When Urkel-Bots Go Bad! 4. What a Night, for a Dark Knight! 5. Attack of the Weird Al-osaurus! 6. The Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson! 7. The Nightmare Ghost of Psychic U! 8. Revenge of the Swamp Monster! 9. The Scooby of a Thousand Faces! 10. Now You Sia, Now You Don't! 11. Quit Clowning! 12. Peebles' Pet Shop of Terrible Terrors! 13. Ollie Ollie In-come Free! 14. The Fastest Food Fiend! 15. A Mystery Solving Gang Divided

Out of curiosity, did you guys have to wait 15-20 minutes for the episodes to load, or is my internet just garbage this week?

No, mine took like a minute only to load. It froze for a minute during The Flash episode, but I paused it for a few seconds and just let it buffer, and that fixed it.

I think we may be looking at one of the most controversial episodes to date and a marmite love it or hate it scenario. I personally loved the monster fox and thought he was super cute but did not like Mark Hamill at all. Hearing him, Scooby and Shaggy constantly make Star Wars references for 20 minutes gets old, fast. I'd even go as far as he ruined a great premise to an episode and why this episode only managed 5th in my list, heck if it wasn't for the adorable fox monster it'd be dead last, just wish he'd kidnapped Mark instead of the drama teacher,

Interesting, I found the Star Wars references to be really cute and loved Mark Hamill as the guest star. He did the best job of any of them so far IMO.

I would like to see Jimmy Kimmel, maybe even John Cena, Key and Peele, Finn Wolfhard etc

To name a few, Sabrina Carpenter, Jimmy Kimmel, Taylor Swift maybe? , Key and Peele would be interesting, and Jennifer Lawrence might be fun. I'd dig a toned-down (meaning appropriate for kids) Hunger Games type thing done in Scooby.

I just finished the episodes and I loved it!! I love star wars and Mark was a really good guest star. I really didn't like the monster and I feel like the more odd monsters are in japan (Kaniaku, fox monster). But I really enjoyed the premise and this is definietly a huge step up.
