So much of this, now detached from the decades of post 77 Star Wars mania, feels like it's actively trying to scare the viewer. Genuinely disturbing. Cocaine is one helluva drug. And yet, it's very honest with how the saga was contorted to sell toys and hype up the brand. You might as well put the Holiday Special in a time capsule and send it off into space so the aliens can see what the fuck we spend our time arguing about.
if the last jedi doesnt end up being a beat for beat remake of this then whats the point. like what the fuck is the point
Lord have mercy, this is just further proof that every bit of the 1970's lived and died on a mountain of cocaine.

I can only imagine the collective thought "What the Hell am I watching?" ... that Star Wars fans must have experienced when tuning into CBS during the 1978 holiday season to watch this.
"I am your fantasy. I am your experience. So experience me. I am your pleasure. Enjoy me. This is our moment together in time that we might turn this moment into an eternity."
The Star Wars Holiday Special has to be one of the most bizarre cash grabs ever. But let's call a spade a spade here, with its hour and a half plus runtime, this is not just a special but a made-for-TV movie. It is baffling to see the kind of filler they came up…
