The Star Wars Holiday Special

Jaysus I have no idea how I never came across this before but this is truly truly the most awful and at the same time hilarious movie I've ever seen. (Well I've only seen clips) See Chewbacca's family life. Hear Carrie Fisher sing the lyrics(there were lyrics??) to the famous theme tune. There are several clips of it on…

It's not hilarious, it's just awful, plain awful.

Apparently the original cut of ANH looked a lot like THS (in terms of pacing and choice of shots). so I guess THIS could be worth watching from that POV, just to see how wrong the 1977 classic "could" have been. Interesting to watch the Cantina sequence in THS. Exact same sets & same creature costumes, yet the stuff in ANH looks like a million dollars but THS looks like something from Fair City. :eek:

It really is one of the worst things I have ever seen. I vow to never watch it again or recommend it to anyone beyond it's value as a historical curio. Lucas was right to try and bury it.
