1998-05-08 Star Warners
Release date: 1998-05-08
Plot: the final episode of Pinky and the Brain is a crossover with Animaniacs. The Animaniacs and other Warner Bros. characters parody Star Wars.

The episode is a zany farewell filled with sci-fi gags and crossover chaos.
Name and role: The bar scene is the perfect setup for cameos, a glorious cocktail of chaos where a wild mix of characters and creatures gather for a drink like it's happy hour at the multiverse. Among the customers, enjoying a milkshake, we see Gossamer and Egghead, an unusual pair, never seen together until now, but there they are. (PS: For some reason, they look like they're on the weirdest cartoon Tinder date ever. Just sayin'.)
Trivia and other appearances: Egghead is too busy to show up in any more cameos, while Gossamer has already ventured into space in Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century (1980).
