A day in the life of a Star Wars family...

OK, first off, I am serious. Get that through your head before you go insulting and complaining. I have given the special 5 stars, and rightfully so. The Star Wars Holiday Special, though not up to the standards of the big-budget star wars films, is good in a way of its own. Set roughly a year after "A New Hope," in 1 ABY, The Star Wars Holiday Special is a story based on the idea that Chewbacca is trying to reach his family on Kashyyyk, his home planet. The Empire, who, following the destruction of the first death star, are searching for rebels on Kashyyyk, are giving Han, Chewie, and Chewi's family, a hard time. During the wait for Chewie's return, his family entertains themselves in some strange ways, and runs into imperial forces. For those of you who will, and the one who has, put down this show, all I have to say is, you are too up tight, and one who takes Star Wars way too seriously. I am an extreme fan of the series, but also understand that ytou must also be able to have fun with Star Wars, and this show is the perfect outlet for that. I mean, come on, you have to admit, everything in star wars, just as in our daily lives, can't alwayts be explosions, and lightsaber fights, and killing, there are also comical, and fun moments. You have to look at this show as merely a day in the live of a star wars family, not as a big, action packed, thriller! A day in the life of one of us normally would not be exciting either, as most of us live quite boring lives. You must judge the special for what it is, not against the star wars episodes. Only when you accept the holiday special, and its good points, can you truly appreciate it. LUcas should release the special. It will certainly not hurt him. At least he could give it a release similar to that of "R2-D2: Beneath the Dome," as he did a couple of years back! It won't kill you to watch it. In the meantime, until Lucas releases it, you can easily find the special on eBay or at science fiction and star wars conventions. Be forewarned, the quality varies, from bad to good, There is even a digitally remastered copy out there which I have a copy of. If you look around the net and eBay, you can find it. It won't kill you, just give you a good laugh, just the same as if you saw a video of your family's day-to-day life!

As the words of George Lucas. First of all you have a better chance of kissen a real wookie then ever getting this on an offcial DVD. Deservingly so. After how great A New Hope was in 1977 the public was ready to eat anything with the Star Wars name. George Lucas gave Fox permission to go ahead on a television low budget Star Wars movie. A descign he would later regret. In 1978 the Star Wars Holiday Special came to horrify audience everywhere. Some say there is a circle in hell where all evil Star Wars fans are forced to watch it over and over again until they are reduced to a pile of mush. It is simply the worst thing ever to gras television or any screen. It involves Chewie trying to get to his family. Did you know he had a family I wish I never did. The film treats us to an insanly boring and stupid scenes of wookies talking to each other, God awful music, terrible effects, stock footage of A New Hope. The worst has to be a wookie sex fantasy that will bore as much as it does disturb. In the middle of the terror is a short cartoon. This cartoon is most signifigant as the first every appearance of Boba Fett who became a fan favorite. Surprisingly the cartoon isn't that bad. It pails in comparison to the Clone Wars cartoons but isn't terrible. Its story is completly separate from the rest of the special involving Boba Fett pretending to Befriend the heros in order to betray them. Not bad but it ends to quickly and we are then thrown back into the disastrus special. How the cast of the original Star Wars got involved in this is beyond me. Overall I have no clue why this is on Amazon or even if Hell freezes over and it is released who will buy it. You can go through any of the real Star Wars movies and replace the entire cast with gun-guns or ewoks and it would still be a better movie then this trash. If George Lucas does follow through with his promise I would volunteer to help him.
