educational

This is what I call "anti-art". There is talent here, and there is ambition. There is also of a large sense of WTF?
Something went terribly wrong with this idea, but it was bulldozed through the actors, the cameras, the direction, the producers, the network, and of course, George Lucas.

Along the way, something unique was created.

Film students should see this film in order to process ambition, ideas, conception and execution. A "what went wrong" book could be culled out of this production, if Lucas wasn't paying off people to keep their mouths shut.

It's not unwatchable, but the dropped jaw you get every five minutes is a bit distracting.

The Best Part of the Original Quadrilogy

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a sadly forgotten classic. The epic storyline is primarily concerned with Chewbacca trying to make it home in time for Life Day, but at its core the film is a metaphor for the common man's attempt to make a better world for his family in the face of corrupt and uncaring universe. Parallels to 1984 are envisioned by the Empire occupying their house and manhandling their property.

This classic also allows us insight into the supposedly gruff character of Han Solo, who reveals a tender side in his relations with Chewbacca's family and his crying when Princess Leia sings the lyrics to the Star Wars main theme.

Poor quality, Great fun

I really love the Holiday Special. Yes, the quality of the production is poor, and seeing Carrie Fisher sing can be painful; but the upside is the use of characters and the cartoon. This episode led to so many ideas in the future of Star Wars. The Wookie home world of Kashyyk, Boba Fett, and deeper insight into individual background characters. This is a must see if you are a Star Wars fan. If you're not a huge fan of Star Wars at least go check out the cartoon. It's less than 10 minutes long, but gives a nice introduction of Boba Fett.
