That Star Wars Holiday Special

[abcdefz]

Wow. I'd heard for years how awful it was, but it wasn't until today that I searched for it on YouTube.

All I saw was the five minute version (http://youtube.com/watch?v=asnVcbWQ2cg).

Wow. Just... wow. Remarkably wrong-headed.


Bea Arthur?
Harvey Korman?
Jefferson Starship?
Chewie's dad -- "Itchy"!?
Diahann Carroll tries to seduce Icky!?

What the hell?

[Freebasser]

Fighting the Frizzies, at eleven.

"Other Galactic Funk" (y)

[taquitos]

haha, i just bought the star wars & other galactic funk 45 a couple months ago.

choice listening(y)

[abcdefz]

I don't know if I want to stand by my opinion as a 12 year-old, but I remember "Other Galactic Funk" as being pretty legit.

I remember watching this when I was 4! But I sort of thought I dreamed it, cause my memory of it was so weird. Turns out it was just that the 70's were a really trippy time!

[taquitos]

the first, like, half hour of this is just wookies grunting

[gbsuey]

[abcdefz]

Mark and Harrison look pretty femme. Must've been the makeup artist.

[gbsuey]

[yeahwho]

I didn't get this part (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdO-w3xnpw&feature=related), it just didn't blend well with the holiday theme.

[paul jones]

fucking christ on a bike! I'm glad I only saw 5 fucking minutes of the shit!

[abcdefz]

A two hour special.

Two hours. :eek:

[paul jones]

A two hour special.

Two hours. :eek:

It could be used in interrogation processes.

captives would spill the beans pretty quickly rather than suffer the whole thing

[SOP]

Try to enjoy your Life Day. That was the creeps... enough to make a Wookie happy.

[TimDoolan]

please don't tell me this shit is canon?!

[ET]

I don't think this is cannon due to the fact that Boba Fett was an old white dude under that helmet and that Lucas has avoided every chance to re-release the special.

I'd love to see it in it's entirety though. Thanks for making this thread, az.

[TAL]

I've seen the whole thing. It's out there in the torrent world.

It's classified as "C canon." So, it happened.
