choggs This movie is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. As someone who goes out of their way to watch terrible movies I can attest to the draining power of this particular TV special. I'm a fan of the Star Wars saga but this makes me never want to look at Mark Hamill or any of his co-stars ever again. Everything moves painfully slow and goes on for far. Far. FAR too long. You'll see what I mean when it comes to the creepy dancing scene or the inappropriate scene of the grandfather wookie watching a provocatively dressed woman. Harrison Ford is clearly there for a pay check - or because he was being threatened at gun point along with the rest of his family and all he held dear (you can tell from the dead look in his sad and helpless eyes). Watch it for the Star Wars Canon. Not for fun.

KalKenobi83 Watched The Star Wars Holiday Special which Stars Mark Hamill(Corvette Summer) as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford(Force 10 From Navarone) as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher(Leave Yesterday Behind) as Leia Organa , Peter Mayhew(Terror) as Chewbacca, Anthony Daniels(Life At Stake) as C-3PO Kenny Baker(Wombling Free) as R2-D2 and James Earl Jones(The Greatest) as Darth Vader, Mickey Morton(Legends Of The Superheroes) as Malla,Paul Gale(The Bay City Rollers) as Itchy,Patty Maloney(Punch And Jody) as Lumpy, Harvey Korman(Bud And Lou ) as Krelman/Chef Gormaanda , Don Francks(Flashpoint) as Boba Fett ,Diahann Carroll(Claudine) as Mermeia, Bea Arthur(Lover And Other Strangers) as Ackmena And Art Carney(House Calls) as Saun Daunn the Series. This was terrible and Abomination to the name Star Wars also it seemed more like Star Trek in some scenes also it was so bad its makes the Prequels look good the Only Positives were The Original Cast ,Darth Vader and Boba Fett gosh it was terrible. I would happily Join George Lucas in breaking these with a Sledge Hammer at Least Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm are Honoring George Lucas Vision This didn't it was a Money Grab as well the worst thing to happen in the 40 Years of the Franchise I love Star Wars but This is the only thing bad about it. The Worst Star Wars Movie Ever 2/10

adonis98-743-186503 Chewbacca and Han Solo try to get home to Chewie's family to celebrate Life Day, which includes various forms of entertainment. For years i hear that the Star Wars Prequels and Indiana Jones 4 sucked because they didn't succeed on being as good as the original well i'll tell you one thing now we just found the worst project that George Lucas greenlight and nope it's not those films that i just told you it's Star Wars: Holiday Special (1978) this is a small canon (i hope so) to the Star Wars Universe where Han and Chewie try to return home with Chewie's Family to celebrate Life Day and it sounds fun doesn't it? Not at all i almost fell asleep and i wanted to shoot myself and even stop watching everything with the Star Wars Logo because this film should have never been made i want Will Smith to erase my mind right now or just have Al Pacino next to me and tell me that this should have never been seen. Although the original cast is back and they are good except Mark Hamill looking like a Barbie doll and Carrie Fisher start singing at the end which almost made my head explode i still like Chewie and Han because there's still this friendship between them but my god his family annoyed me and all this retarded commercials made the film even worse i mean the Empire just sitting there watching commercials is enough for me to hate it this film is 100 times worse than Dragonball and Batman & Robin it's basically the Ghostbusters of 2016 but instead of 2016 it was made on 1978 what a great way to ruin the fun out of all this people that saw A New Hope just one year before this mess. Please don't waste your time it's not worth it.

GroggyLane OK let me clarify that summary line.. As a child of 7 starving for ANYTHING Star Wars, I thought it was awesome! As an adult of 44 lucky enough to possess a copy, I still like it for what it is. It's a memory. It's a memory of a simpler time. It's a memory of the love I had for what I still consider to be the greatest movie ever made! It's a memory of longing for the next film to release. It's a memory of seeing the original Star Wars in the theater. Also watching it reminds me of the attraction pre-shows at Disney World. It just brings back so much. Though it is corny and cheesy, and low budget, I love it! I always will. I wish I had a better copy.
