Anyone remember this?

The Star Wars Holiday Special

I think George Lucas would love it if this would go away...

I've tried several times to watch it all the way through, but I just can't its just so bad, even for comedy value lol. The cartoon isn't that awfull though and can be found as a sort of Easter egg on the blu ray's. That's about as close as Lucas is going to release it. Grendels see if you can watch the part when Chewie's wife is watching that cookery program I dare ya!

The Star Wars Holiday Special: Stir Whip Beat!

Actually this version is pretty funny

What is not to like?   In the special we have:

Itchy building an X-wing model
Cooking
Singing
The Millennium Falcon with RED engines  (It is at 39:46 for those that are curious)
Vintage commercials
The first appearance of Boba Fett

[Black Sheep 1]

I just finished watching it.
Oh boy was that bad!
Even the animated part was terrible!
It looked like it was drawn by a wookie!

I can now understand why Lucas wants it gone.  The acting was terrible!
I can only guess but I'm sure the director of this "thing" and the writers never got another job in Hollywood after this.

Now....I wonder why doesn't Lucas do a Holiday Special the way it should be (according to him) and directs it himself!
