The Star Wars Christmas Special
 

I plan on watching this sometime this week for the first time. Has anyone had the (mis)fortune of seeing this? Can anyone give validation to it's reputation of being horrible?

The last time I saw it was when it was broadcast on tv, when I was a child. I remember liking it, but I also remember liking Superfriends as a child. But watching it now,...*shudder*...oh god that cheesy dialogue.
Just go in with an open mind.

Watching it will hurt, a lot. And most likely you'll regret watching it

It's all up to you, but keep this in mind.
The guy who approved and liked Jar Jar Binks, wants to destroy every copy of the Holiday Special.

Ask someone to hide all sharp objects. Oh, or make sure you're high as a kite. Whichever you prefer.

Don't do it.

Honestly, I couldn't even sit through watching the Nostalgia Critic make fun of it. That bad.

Still not quite as bad as the TMNT Christmas Special from 1994 but still it's bad... the only highlight is Bea Arthur....

I had access to it a few years back. I was really excited to watch it for its camp value and ridicule it for its "so bad its good" quality. However, once they started up those stupids songs and creepy music videos, I just couldn't keep watching and have never finished watching it. The Boba Fett cartoon, however, is worth watching.

Its ****ing awful. Really ****ing awful. I watch a lot of ****** movies and tv, and can honestly say that this is really ****ing bad.

Only upside is the intro to Boba Fett. And even then...

Also, Luke Skywalker in makeup.

Yeah, that just added to the creepy factor too. Although to be fair, I think Mark Hamill was in the early stages of his recovery from a severe car accident which permanently altered his face.

What is this Star Wars Christmas special :tconfuse: or do i really not want to know about it.

Yeah Luke reminds me of Ken Doll in Toy Story 3, they look so alike

Most people pretend it never happened. It was really, really awful. I have a bootleg of it on DVD around here somewhere, I watched it once a handful of years ago and never again.

Basically Wookies celebrate a form of Christmas called Life Day. Han takes Chewbacca home to Kashyyk so he can spend the holidays with his wife Mallatobuck, his son Lumpawrrump (or Lumpy), and his father Attichitcuk... Meanwhile Bea Arthur owns a Cantina on Tatooine...and sings about it. While the Wookies just grunt alot and Lumpy watches cartoons....amongst other weird things (like Princess Leia singing the theme song....)

It's on Youtube if you wanna see it.

Thanks for the info guys as much as i like Star Wars i think i will give this Christmas special a miss.

if toy are still curious, you can watch The Nostalgia Critic's review of it. he shows the... Highlights within 20 min

Or just watch it with the RiffTrax

It's almost bearable that way :P

Oh yeah...almost forgot that Chewbacca's dad watched a weird porno with VR gear.

Wookie porn. That is all you need to know. It's too painful to watch twice. I get uncomfortable and squirmy near the end when Carrie Fisher starts singing a bastardized Christmas-y version of the Star Wars theme in a clearly drug induced state.

Hahahahaha!:tlol:

To anyone who doesn't know much about this special, it should also be noted that it was made shortly after Episode IV and aired once on television. It was never aired again.

This is a fun read:

And yes, I still plan to watch this on one of my days off this week. Oh God help me yes, I will watch it. I need to see this for myself.

You may as well watch it. I managed to. (And never again) It's kind of like a badge of honor in a "I sat through the holiday special and my face didn't melt off" kind of way.

I've only seen it in bits and pieces, and am in no rush to see it in whole.

However, the Star Wars Christmas album, Christmas in the Stars, is awesome in an enjoyably cheesy way. 8)

Hmm... interesting...

I never knew such a thing existed!

Aye! Christmas In The Stars is cool! R2D2 and C3PO help Santa! *lol*

Alright, so I finally watched it....and it is as bad as everyone says it is. I mean, it was really just horrible. It was never funny, it was never entertaining, the grandfather watches porn, the son annoyed me to the point I wanted him to get eaten by a Rancor...you could go on forever about all the problems there were with this piece of ****. At least the animated segment wasn't bad. That provided about a 10 min relief from the crap-storm.

But as GK said, you should watch it, so you can brag that you sat through the whole thing.
