Easily one of the worst spin off holiday TV specials of all time. Worse than anything you can imagine from any other film. It is not only bad, but it goes on waaaaaaay too long. You say, "How bad can it be?" and "Oh I can sit through one viewing." But to those I say, worse than you can imagine, and no you can't.

I remember watching it when it was on TV. What a sad, pathetic, unenjoyable show.

This thread fails, due to the lack of a link to said terrible-ness, so that others may suffer the same as the OP.

I vote to ban jhu for this omission. [/thread] :twisted:

I was a little kid when it aired in 1978. That night I pissed off my dad and he sent me to bed right after dinner knowing I would miss it (I was a HUGE Star Wars freak). I've resented him for it all these years. Even though it apparently sucked (still never watched it), I feel like I missed out on a once in a lifetime generational experience :(

You mean you didn't love whole conversations without subtitles of Wookies talking while at home for Christmas?

Your dad saved you from a lifetime of therapy. You should send him a fruit basket or something.

Who made the decision that wookie male pattern baldness occurs on the face? Is Mark Hamill wearing Make-up?

Wookie smiles are about as subtle as Han's "moves".

A pocket sized aquarium? I'm sure that an imperial naval officer would find more use out of a pocket pussy...

Crap, have to go back to work... must pause the awesomeness that is the SWHS
