I remember watching it when I was a kid. I would consume anything that had Star Wars slapped on it and even I was “wtf?”
What I’m enjoying most of all is the commercials. I was born in 1978 so seeing a commercial from my first year or two of life is a really strange experience. Very discombobulating when I kind of half recognize them.
That is also my favorite part, especially since the most common bootleg (the “Fighting the Frizzies” one) was recorded in my market.
Yeah, this is a 5yo thread, but didn’t really want to create a new one just for this. From about a month ago, I present to all who want to know how bad TV gets made:
The Dark Side: An Oral History ofThe Star Wars Holiday Special
Really, this one sentence explains so much:
“Pat and I had written for mimes Shields and Yarnell, which is why we were brought on.”
LOL!
“Lucas told us Han Solo was married to a Wookiee but that we couldn’t mention that because it would be controversial.”
