Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)



Move over Manos: Hands of Fate, I have found a film even worse. The shocker...it is brought to you by non other then Mr. Star Wars, George Lucas. Riding high on the success of Star Wars: A New Hope, a project was rushed together for the 1978 Christmas season. In his defense, George didn't have a whole lot to do with it but technically it should be attached to his legacy--something I can only assume will haunt him forever.

The Star Wars Holiday Special aired just one time but continues to live on due to VHS taped recordings. The special is all about life day and Wookies but I couldn't really find a plot anywhere. Pay special attention to how far into the special you get before there is any english (not wookie) spoken. Try to make it that far before you go read the wikipedia entry--fascinating.
