"Did we interrupt him in the middle of a kabuki play? And what's with the make-up?" There's actually a very, very good reason Mark Hamill had so much damn make-up. The special was shot just after his car crash. This is why his face is covered up at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, then he got bitch-slapped by the wampa, thus explaining the scars. By the team they healed in Return of the Jedi, it made him look more mature, like his character, so it all worked out very well in the end.

TV production in the 1970s was way more insular and unimaginative than cinema, filled with old vaudeville and radio show veterans whose primary goal was to satisfy commercial sponsors and keeping senior citizens awake. Variety show producers are the apotheosis of this ethos of cheap and profitable mass produced entertainment. What they tried to create was an unholy mashup of variety show thrills, badly written holiday pantomime, and a story that featured principal actors in cameo only roles, while the "stars" were offputting Wookie characters and whatever other variety show veterans they could retrieve off the scrap pile at short notice on the cheap..

"Did we interrupt him in the middle of a kabuki play? And what's with the make-up?" There's actually a very, very good reason Mark Hamill had so much damn make-up. The special was shot just after his car crash. This is why his face is covered up at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, then he got bitch-slapped by the wampa, thus explaining the scars. By the team they healed in Return of the Jedi, it made him look more mature, like his character, so it all worked out very well in the end.

Variety show producers are the apotheosis of this ethos of cheap and profitable mass produced entertainment. What they tried to create was an unholy mashup of variety show thrills, badly written holiday pantomime, and a story that featured principal actors in cameo only roles, while the "stars" were offputting Wookie characters and whatever other variety show veterans they could retrieve off the scrap pile at short notice on the cheap..

Now that’s just _sick!_
Wait a minute, Luke understands Chewies family, but needs C3PO to talk to Chewie?
Call me old fashioned...but, I’d wait until my daughter and grandchild had gone somewhere outside of the house before plugging in my inter-species fantasy video...
I'm working on a project to combine Santa Claus Conquers the Martians with The Star Wars Holiday Special, just to hear the Rifftrax of it. It's in its very early stages ( meaning I just thought of it 2 minutes ago), and hands off! This idea is my intellectual property.
Luke take R2 with you. Mike: Dump him in the East River. @20:06
The Life Day parade- brought to you by Kuat Drive Yards!
I remember variety shows. By the time this came out, variety shows were waning. Grafting Star Wars to this format shows why.
Just imagine all of the laughter that erupted back then from the hilarious robot Harvey Korman's instructional video.

Just as good as the American version of Fawlty Towers starring Korman as Snavely.
THE BAR SCENE IS BACK!!!!!!!!

I love how "Tobor is robot spelled backwards" doesn't even need a riff in response.
Just wanna point out that Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels get credits as Chewy and C3P0 but Kenny Baker doesnt get a credit for R2D2. Maybe its meant to be a joke but damn dude, thats rude as hell. (edit: I checked, and that is him as R2D2 in the Holiday Special)

@Holland Kerr Oh sure, give credit to the guy dressed as a walking carpet, but the small guy roasting in the tin can, screw him... Seriously, what were they thinking...?

Apparently he didn't play him in this special. R2 was empty and was controlled through a radio remote control. Someone else in the comments mentioned it.
"it's a risky thing to make a show that requires the audience to be as high as when you made it" 🤣
"Jane Trahan switched-" "At gunpoint!" "It's like Grease on wheels!" "Funny what passed for selling points back then." "This is CBS." "Please don't hold it against us!" "Well, what do you know. It's not every day you see the stupidest thing you've ever seen." "It was a pretty risky move to make a special that could only be enjoyed if your entire audience was as high as you were when you made it."
And then there’s Maude!
