Title card

"The Sword, the Fox, and the Scooby-Doo!" is the fifteenth episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? season one. It aired on July 2, 2020 on Boomerang's SVOD service. It was written by Thomas Krawjeski, produced by series creator, Chris Bailey, and directed by Mike Milo.

Mark Hamill has a run-in with Mystery Inc. in Japan, and this couldn't have happened at a better time, because his old drama teacher has been kidnapped by a fox monster.

Behind the scenes

• With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Daphne this time.
• This isn't the first time gang had met Mark Hamill, as the first time was actually in the Night of the Living Doo short special. It could be chalked up to not considered canon, but even in real life, Mark Hamill acted like this episode was the first time he had voiced himself in a Scooby-Doo cartoon.
• There are several jokes about Hamill playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films. Hamill seems much more receptive this time around than he did on Night of the Living Doo, where he seemed reluctant and embarrassed by it.
• How many times does Fred say "Hold the phone?" Twice.
• Mark implies that he is the Joker (by laughing like him) which is how he knew about the kids helping Batman save Alfred in "What a Night for a Dark Knight!" Mark was in fact the voice of the Joker in the latter.

Errors

• There's a comma next to Scooby-Doo's name in the credits as if there's supposed to be another character after him.
