Happy Life Day! The Star Wars Holiday Special (Ugh)
Here's one for all you young-uns who thought Jar Jar Binks was the downfall of the Star Wars franchise.

I'm glad I have no memory of this.

And the Reggie Bar!

And those tacky phones!

Harvey Kormann?! Good grief.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BEA ARTHUR WAS IN THIS ATROCITY? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

They'd all HAVE to be coked up on something to do that. Yuck!

I'd love to see this on the net in full size video. If they'll put out that Ewok crap on DVD, why not this?!

4. Good luck.
This is a very hot item among collectors, if that can be believed. :puke:

6. I saw it as a kid
Being absolutely hypnotized by Star Wars as I was, I still thought it was trash. I'd love to see it again for the laugh factor.

8. Sad thing is,
it doesn't even look like the GOOD kind of bad. It just looks awful, like "what the hell were you thinking?" type awful.

7. I downloaded this recently
I remember parts of it from my childhood - especially the part where Chewie's family goes to open the door of their home, and there are stormtroopers on the porch.

I watched it after I downloaded it. You could tell that Harrison Ford was embarrassed to be part of it. Hell, I was embarrassed for all of them and could only watch 10 minutes of it at a time without grimacing in pain.

9. Unfortunately, I DO have a memory of this!
I was the biggest Star Wars fanatic on the planet. My sister and brother and I watched it together that night, and even I felt embarrassment for the cast. Even at the age of nine I could see that the Millenium Falcon set was cheesy cardboard. Even at the age of nine, I gritted my teeth in anguish for the cast of the movie. How they had ever been convinced to do that crap, I'll never know.
