The weirdest fucking shit I have EVER seen in my life!
Please, please save yourselves from this... I don't even know what to call it...
If you're one of those unlucky bastards that already laid their eyes upon it, you have my deepest most heartfelt sympathies. Star Wars won't ever be the same again.
If you haven't watched it, and set your mind to so (despite every warning sign doing their mad flashing), I'd suggest watching the slightly shorter, and probably less painful Nostalgic Critic version. Motherfu... -

It hurts, it hurts so much. Had to give it a watch for Junkfood Cinema, the result of which was a reworked version of "Twas The Night Before Christmas." Enjoy.

Funny, sometimes unintentionally so, but awful.

I give the Holiday Special 3 stars for a few reasons.
1) It expanded the universe in an interesting direction.
Although Lucas was not very involved with the Holiday Special, he DID have plans to expand the Star Wars universe to include Chewie's family. These plans came to fruition in varying degrees throughout the film series and officially commissioned books, comics, etc. The Holiday Special gave us the most "realistic" portrait of the wookie family, despite the horny grandpa.
2) The introduction of Boba Fett.
Boba Fett proved to be an important asset to the Star Wars mythos in the theatrical releases, but what most casual fans of the series did not know was that the bounty hunter made his…

Is half a star even a fair rating?
